It was the first virtual training programme delivered to multiple sporting codes in the Pacific under the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s ‘Team Up’ initiative.
The programme included accredited training for match officials and support staff such as coaches, referees, sports trainers, as well as strength and conditioning training for players.
Each training activity provided practical and theoretical aspects of skills development in officiating and support roles, as well as game strategies, nutrition, lifestyle advice and game-day preparation for players.
