Mainland is well represented in the spread of coaches, managers and selectors confirmed by New Zealand Canoe Polo for the 2005 representative season.

Continuity of coaching personnel is crucial to the solid and ongoing development of New Zealand's representative teams, and Mainlander Nick Burnett's continued commitment as coach of the New Zealand senior men's squad is welcomed. Mainland's Dave Taylor features as coach of the New Zealand youth men and Emma Taylor continues to contribute to the management of the New Zealand senior and youth men. Nick and Dave have also been named selectors for the senior men and will be joined by fellow Mainlanders Jenni Gadd and Jimmy Sewell who will participate in the selection of the junior/youth women and junior men respectively.
