The Player Journey
The Player Journey was developed to highlight areas where people can enter and travel through two identified softball pathways: the Community Pathway, and the Competitive Pathway.
National Umpires pathway
Whether you want to umpire junior grade or senior grade, there is a pathway for you within the SNZ Umpire Development programme. All you need to become an umpire is an interest in the sport and a willingness to be involved.
National scorers pathway
The National Scorer's Pathway provides a development pathway from being able to score at a youth softball game to officiating at a WBSC World Championship.
Online coaching modules
SNZ Coach Accreditation Modules are available online and they are free!
