IV Coach
MU Sport remains committed to supporting student‑athletes and ensuring a high‑quality representative experience. Due to the expected high cost of the event, MU Sport will prioritise funding toward student‑athlete support rather than coaches in 2026.
Coaches may still attend Uni Nationals; however, most positions will be self‑funded or supported by affiliated sporting clubs. MU Sport may fund a limited number of coaching positions that directly contribute to the University’s performance objectives.
