  • A Brief History of Netball and Our Tactix Legacy
    A Brief History of Netball and our Tactix Legacy What is Netball? “A new game for girls, about which a good deal will probably be heard in the course of the ensuing summer, is basket-ball. It has already swept the United States, completely eclipsing lawn tennis, and effectually nipping in the bud the threatened revival of croquet….The chief beauty of the game is its simplicity, and the fact that no expensive apparatus is required. Wherever two old baskets, a couple of clothes props, and a ball, are there can it be played.” (Otago Witness, 6 May 1897) The Game The game of netball is derived from the early development of basketball in the USA. The origin of basketball is traditionally credited to James Naismith, a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, who in 1891, invented an indoor game for young men at the School for Christian Workers (later the YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first games of what's now netball were played on a paddock between nine-a-side teams. The rules allowed three bounces, and throws from one end of the field to the other. Baskets were used for goals and after each goal, the ball was tipped out to restart play. Netball was first played in the UK in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College. In the first half of the 20th century, Netball's popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many British Commonwealth countries. There were no standard rules at that time with both nine-a-side and five- a-side versions of the game.

  • Courtney Tairi
    Courtney Tairi Height 5'10.5" Bust 33.5" Waist 28.5" Hips 33.5" Dress 8 US Shoe 9 US Hair Brunette Instagram As the saying goes, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity,” and it’s a concept that quite neatly sums up former Silver Fern Courtney Tairi’s career path to date. After nine years as a professional netball player, both in Australia and NZ, Courtney transitioned from playing for the Sliver Ferns and Magic, into a dream broadcasting career with SKY TV. It was whilst living in the “Magic House” with her netball teammates that a film crew from SKY Sport came through the player residence to see if a team member would like to do give a house tour. A natural in front of the camera and always up for trying anything once, Courtney volunteered; she hasn’t looked back, as her on-screen career continues to flourish. It was a surprisingly natural progression from mid-court player to side-court reporter for the Australian-born Kiwi, whose journey to the Silver Ferns was very unique. Courtney and her two sisters were raised in Sydney by a pakeha mother and father of Tainui, Ngati Koroki-Kahukura descent, so immersed her Maori heritage that she has always referred to herself as a Kiwi. Courtney took to the netball court at the tender age of seven, where she demonstrated an innate ability for the sport, playing competitively throughout her school years. She was first spotted by Julie Fitzgerald at 14 years old. Courtney went through the Australian Netball pathways, and after winning the Netball World Youth Cup in 2009, Fitzgerald selected Courtney to play with the New South Wales Swifts at age 21.

  • Mainland Matters – October 2015
    Mainland Matters – October 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Firstly a big thank you to everyone from our Centre’s across the Zone for participating in our recent Zone Forum. There was lots of good discussion, plans and feedback for 2016. We have sent all the presentations and notes out to Centre’s, and look forward to working with you all in the future. It was also very cool to welcome the Silver Ferns to train at Netball Mainland’s home at Apollo prior to their Constellation Cup game in Christchurch on 20 October. With the Silver Ferns in town it afforded a group of local coaches the opportunity to attend a training game and observe coach, Waimarama Taumaunu leading her charges. The informal coach observation opportunity was coordinated by Netball Mainland Coach Development Manager Jen Hooper. There were 30 spaces available to coaches to attend and these spaces filled up within four days. All the coaches were Community Award coaches or above, so either sitting at that level or on the Performance Coach Pathway. Michael Bradley Photography They make big investments in their own education, and in turn © put the development back into their players. This year we’ve had 70 coaches across our 18 Centres complete their Community Coach Award and we’ve had something like 600 coaches through developing modules. In conjunction with the Test, Netball Mainland also had 50 coaches attend ‘An Evening with…’, another informal coaching opportunity for Mainland coaches presented by Leigh Gibbs, Sue Hawkins and Mandy Nottingham. The session, based on the successful series run by the Zone during the ANZ Championship season, looked at the preparation Michael Bradley Photography and planning that goes into a Test Match.
