April Newsletter April Newsletter April 2015 Message from Julie Paterson, CEO Inside This Issue I am sure you will all be relieved to finally have all of your planning and 1 Message from CEO preparation leading to the start of the netball season come to fruition. While I 2 Community Netball am sure everyone is incredibly busy it is still a fantastic time of the year with netball getting underway at every level of the game. Our staff team in the 3 Coach Development Northern Zone are at our busiest time of the year with both the SKYCITY Mystics 4 Umpire Development season round robin season having only five more weeks to go (four more games plus the bye - where has that time gone?!), as well as our community 5 Performance staff supporting as many centres as possible to get ready for the season. 6 Mystics Update We were fortunate to re-gain Lion Foundation funding again this year, and this 7 Upcoming Events has meant that we are able to support some new projects in both umpiring and bench officials. Tia Winikerei (Community Netball Manager) will be able to discuss detail with you, but we have allocated funding to provide support and development to the bench officials and this year will be supporting developing umpires to attend the U17 tournament. Tia and I are also currently working on regional funding ideas and intend to increase our share of the funding allocation in to netball wherever possible - to support our drive to increase capability at all levels of the game. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the SGM on Sunday and then stay on to support the SKYCITY Mystics at their game on Sunday evening. While we are still at the top of the NZ conference, we need to continue with as many wins as possible to enable us we host the NZ conference final. We love having your support to help us achieve that! Julie Paterson CEO APRIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 Community Netball Welcome back. The month ahead is looking very exciting. Many Centres have already begun their winter grading competitions, coaching courses are a flurry and the growth of the ANZ future ferns programme is evident in the number of centres seeking Zone support to embed their junior competitions. Netball New Zealand announced the national partnership with ANZ for the junior programme on April 23. See http://mynetball.co.nz/latest-news/177-my-netball/4468-anz-and-netball-new-zealand-launch-new- junior-netball-programme.html to read this announcement. The community team welcome back Jo Hona. Jo has recently re-joined us and we are excited to have her back working with the Far North netball communities. Recently, we had the pleasure of travelling to the Far North. I thoroughly enjoyed this and want to acknowledge all those that made time to meet with us. I will be up there again this month and look forward to seeing you many of you again. The community team met recently to take stock of the past 12 months. It has been both humbling and exciting for me to see how passionate they are about Netball. In the coming months we will be assessing how we can continue to work closely with you. Our aim is to provide centres with the support you need to deliver quality netball experiences and competitions at all levels. Finally, I want to thank you for your warm welcome and hospitality when I have visited. I am hoping that by the next newsletter I will have visited everyone as least once. Take care and enjoy the onset of winter. It’s our signal that Netball is alive. Mauriora Tia Winikerei Community Netball Manager ANZ future Ferns Pictures say a thousand words Taster Day at AMI Auckland Netball Windmill Road venue. Year 1 & 2 children enjoying their skill activities and then playing their first game of 4 v 4. In the activity above the ball did come down and so did the rain, but that didn’t stop the Year 3 children from playing their first game of 5 v 5 netball. Their smiles say it all! APRIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 Taster day at Hibiscus Coast Netball Centre It was bright and beautiful at the Year 3 Taster Day. Lots of children, lots of action and more importantly lots of fun. -Anne Nicholson Counties Grading has begun in some of our South Auckland Centres and this season promises to be interesting with a lot of player movement between teams. Battling the environment was part of the grading rounds but the talent is abundant and will make for exciting competition. Coach Development in College’s is on the increase thanks to the influence of our Zone Coach Developer and Centre Netball Development Officers. This is positive and provides the opportunity for student coaches to develop with confidence and help build the coaching infrastructure in their schools. The Zone continues to support local Centres and communities in South Auckland and the North with the delivery of ‘Active in Schools’ Junior Netball Programme. Active in Schools is contributing to the increase of players at Junior level and the feedback from participants and parents has been very positive and rewarding. Mid North Netball Centres Our Mid North Centres have been busy planning for their ANZ Future Ferns Netball Programs. We’ve had everything from Junior Netball Holiday programs, Star helper and Yr3&4 coach workshops and Have a go days!! It’s been an awesome month of netball. I am now also working with Hibiscus Coast Netball Centre and Kaipara Netball Centre and look forward to working with the respective committees. We’ve already done some Star helper & Yr 3&4 coach workshops with these centers and I look forward to supporting them with their programs. A few of our centers have also started planning and working out strategies for how they are going to run their Leadership Program in 2015. WATCH THIS SPACE!! Following are some pictures from the Hibiscus Coast Netball Centre year 3 “have a go day”.

    Netball Northern Zone Map CONTENTS From the Chair and CEO 4 Commercial Partners 6 Community Netball 7 Performance 13 SKYCITY Mystics 16 Results Northern Zone 20 Financials 21 From the CEO & Chair It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 Annual Report of the Netball Northern Zone. It has been another satisfying year with progress being shown in all aspects of the work we are involved in, from ANZ FutureFerns through to high performance (SKYCITY Mystics) . Netball New Zealand and the five Zones continued to refine our organization’s role and purpose through- out the year. We all have a very high commitment to alignment with the national Whole of Netball plan and linking closely with Netball NZ’s strategies. Targets were set by Netball New Zealand in consultation with each of the zones and focused largely on increasing player participation as well as coach and umpire numbers. We were successful in some areas, but also recognized that targets in some other areas were not realistic, so were able to review these number for the 2016 season. The CEO’s of the Zone and Netball New Zealand continue to have regular meetings as do the Community and Performance team nationally. National Chair meetings are also held twice per annum, usually alongside the CEO meeting. It was a good outcome for the Coach Development role to transition from Netball New Zealand into the Zones earlier this year. We now have very clear lines of accountability for outcomes in this area and we were fortunate to be able to secure Tania Heap with such a wealth of experience in coach development.

The last two weeks have been particularly busy in our 2 Community Netball office with two home games within seven days. Our first game was well 3 Coach Development attended, and while the second game was never going to be a large crowd - clashing with the last day of the World Cup Cricket final – I was pleasantly 4 Umpire Development surprised at how many did turn up. They all brought their voices and were a very vocal and supportive crowd. It was great to see another win on home 5 Performance ground and we managed to keep the Steel to well under 60 goals, which was 6 Mystics Update a first for them for some time. 7 Upcoming Events The turn-out for the Zone AGM was disappointing, and as we were given late notice of non-attendance, we were unable to field a quorum of the nine centres required, meaning the AGM will have to be scheduled again. We have decided to hold it prior to a home game on 3 May 2015 and official notification of this will be provided this week. We will provide two tickets to the game to delegates who attend the AGM. It was also proposed we amend the constitution to allow attendance by phone or skype to ensure we don’t encounter this unfortunate situation again. Thanks to all of those who did travel long distances and also to those due to poor weather conditions had to sit in traffic for hours - and we are all sorry we couldn’t complete the meeting.

  • November Newsletter
    November Newsletter November 2014 Message from Julie Paterson, CEO The Northern Zone has been consulted with at a number of levels Inside This Issue regarding the Whole of Netball Plan (WONP) with Netball New Zealand. It was great to see numerous centres attend the consultation evening held 1 Message from CEO some weeks ago and further refinement has happened through the CEO 2 Community Netball national group meeting as well as the Community Netball and Performance Netball national meetings. The finished product will be released at the NNZ 3 Umpire Development Council Meeting in February in Christchurch and I am sure you will all be as 4 Performance impressed as I have been with the clarity of strategy and prioritization as well as the really strong drive for alignment of the netball delivery system. 5 Mystics Update 6 Upcoming Events Following on from this the Netball Northern Zone Board have recently drafted an updated strategic plan. The initial strategy implemented in 2013 was a very useful starting document, and we achieved a large number of the goals and objectives. With the WONP underway and the priorities in the plan starting to take shape, it was timely to update the Zone strategy and ensure that our priorities and timeframes were aligned with Netball NZ. We will be discussing the high points of the strategy at the Zone AGM in March. It is also really pleasing to see the number of quality athletes being selected in to the Northern Zone training squad again this year – well done to you all. An exciting new programme is also underway for coach development and 13 coaches have been selected for the newly established Zone Performance Coach programme.
