Kim has coached young school children(currently she is involved with Rangitoto College as a resource coach) Kim has coached multiple club grades & NH Masters teams. Her passion to give back to the sport she loves keeps Kim wanting to share her knowledge. Kims’ coaching philosophy is to create a fun culture and encourage everyone to challenge themselves outside there comfort zones. It’s never to soon/late to learn, fancy tricks with a stick are awesome but she will never let anyone underestimate the importance of good basics & playing to make your mates look good.
