CHAIR’S MESSAGE
Netball has had a fantastic year, what an exciting World Cup final! The Constellation Cup games were also nail biters to watch and while we didn’t win the cup, 2020 promises to be another thrilling year for the Silver Ferns. At Netball Wellington Centre, we are committed to showcasing our talented players, umpires, coaches, officials and volunteers, which will be exciting for 2020 with the changes to the age groups and the re-introduction of the Open grade.
Taking on the role as Interim Chair was only possible due to our very strong and committed Board who have made sure we govern our Centre in a professional and supportive fashion. Our President, Fatulatetele Tolo, and Board members Karen Harvey, Fiona Cassidy, Anthony Karauria, Danielle Hannah, Frances Duffin, Belinda Wotton and Gayle Hare have made sound decisions so that our Centre is financially sustainable and successful. We have also had Daphne Martinez on the Board as our Board Youth Intern.
I would like to express our thanks to Karen Fifield, who stepped down from the Chair role in March due to work commitments. Karen had been the Chair for 3 ½ years and her leadership and guidance as our Chair solidified our Board.
During the year NWC has achieved much and continues to be financially sustainable; however for the first time since NWC was established in 2013, Expenditure was more than Income, resulting in a loss of $26k. This was due to a decrease in Grant Funding compared to the previous four financial years. The future for funding will continue to remain tight and competitive. We believe that our brand is strong and we will achieve most of the funding we apply for, however we are also looking at different funding streams. NNZ are providing support by equipping us with the right resources to seek partnerships and are also helping Centres with the partnership contracts they are putting in place.
The Annual Report reflects the work done by our capable management team and all of you throughout the year. I hope you enjoy reading it. On behalf of the Board, I want to say a huge thank you to Sue and her team for all the work they do on everyone’s behalf - they always have your interests at heart.
Netball Wellington has many to thank and I wish to recognize the continual work of our Life Members, Service Awards holders and those who volunteer their service and support for Netball Wellington Centre and the great game of netball.
I would like to congratulate Gayle Hare and Martha Taru on their Netball New Zealand Service Award this year. It was a great honour for Netball Wellington to support these nominations in recognition of the work, dedication and commitment that they both give to the game of netball.
It has been such a privilege to be the Interim Chair this year, to work closely with Sue. I look forward to us taking the opportunities open to us to shine in the coming year. Everyone can feel very proud of all that has been achieved by our Centre this year across all of our competitions and activities. Here’s to 2020!

NETBALL OPERATIONS
It has been a real privilege to once again lead the Centre and the team here at Netball Wellington through another year of successes both on and off the court. Like all successes you have challenges along the way, and it is the challenges that we as a team have embraced the biggest learnings from and grown what we do and how we do it.
We continued to look at what our wide and diverse community needs were so that we could offer as many touch points as we could through our programmes and competitions. Our community needs come from the work that our Satellites - Motu Kairangi, Northern Suburbs and Wellington West - administer in the year 1 to 8 age group, and what we offer at ASB Sports Centre and also our Hataitai Venue.
The structures and plans that we implemented in 2018 for our programmes were built on over 2019. The alignment to Netball NZ recommendations for each age group to support individuals in accordance to their age and ability has guided us well in ensuring that our communities are connecting well and continue to enjoy the game of netball. Hearing comments that our futureFERN players are coming through with increased skills at a younger age, and parents have a better understanding of the game and embracing the fun factor, is music to our ears.
The follow on from this alignment to our Emerging Talent space has continued to grow. We have sound knowledge on our players, coaches and officials and how best we can work with these individuals so that they are achieving the goals personally and as a Centre. The support from Wellington City Council and Sport Wellington in our Emerging Talent space, where 12 players are supported by High Performance Sport NZ and Sandra Edge to prepare them for the next step up the in their pathway. This foundational work helps to support the Netball NZ and Netball Central Zone pathway with a core group of NWC players being named in the Te Wānanga o Raukawa Central Pulse and Netball Central National League teams, and Silver Fern squads and teams. Our officials are also being named for National and International fixtures.
We say this every year, but it is by no means a repetitive message without meaning. We have a solid base of volunteers within Netball Wellington Centre. We thank them sincerely for the time they put in and their dedication to the game of netball. We operate as efficiently and effectively due to the contribution of these outstanding individuals. You are all integral members of our whānau and your involvement in the game of netball is appreciated immensely.
I would also like to sincerely thank - John, Jo, Kylie, Maria, Renee, Sandra and Ray who have continued on with passion and commitment to the game of netball and the Centre. To our team of casual staff members – Jasmine Diack, Matisse Tiatia, Charlotte Cordwell, Hannah Geale, Maggie Quinn and Hope Arahanga - thank you for your steadfast support to the Centre.
A huge thank you to our past Chair Karen Fifield and interim Chair Nicki Zande, President Fatulatetele Tolo, and Board members Karen Harvey, Fiona Cassidy, Gayle Hare, Belinda Wotton, Danielle Hannan. Frances Duffin, Anthony Karauria and Board intern Daphne Martinez. Your strategic guidance, expertise and support has provided us with a solid framework to work to and helped drive the successes we have achieved.

OBITUARY’S
It was with great sadness that we said farewell to 2 of our long serving members. Both ladies will be sorely missed by many of our netball community members.
Mary Smith - 27 March 2019. Gail Toomer - 9 September Mary was well connected to 2019. Gail was well known and SMOG and our NWC respected by our SCOG netball Representative teams. club members.
FACILITIES
Hataitai Park Hataitai continues to be the home of our winter competition minor collegiate grades (4 to 8) and the inter-satellite intermediate competition, coach and umpire development workshops, centre and club meetings, representative team trainings, spring and summer Twilight Competitions, junior fun fests, plus showcasing the history of Netball Wellington Centre.
We have a great facility with a variety of spaces available for hire including a large upstairs area, an upstairs boardroom, small meeting room and a downstairs room on offer. Hataitai hosts events such as prize-giving’s, private functions, seminars & workshops, indoor trainings, planning meetings, general meetings, Christmas functions, club welcomes, to name just a few. We would like to see our facility used more so please get in touch with our staff if you have any queries.
ASB Sports Centre The Centre remains one of the highest users of the ASB Sport Centre fully utilising 12 courts as part of our Saturday winter competition for our Premier, Premier Reserve, Senior and Collegiate 1-3 grades. Also for three nights a week for our twilight competitions, Intermediate and College League and development programmes, emerging talent groups, umpiring development, school holiday programmes, and school coaches programmes for year 1-8. We continually look for opportunities that we can offer during the day to the community to include all age groups, gender and abilities. This year was no exception.
Satellites – years 1 to 8 Our netball communities in our three satellites have a reach from Tawa, City Central, Eastern Suburbs and Wellington West. They provide netball for all futureFERN age groups year 1 to 8. They do a sterling job with the services and opportunities they offer to learn and play the game of netball, to umpire, coach, manage, and administration skills from key roles on the committee.
Our satellites are are run by volunteers which we are truly thankful for inf: Motu Kairangi - Evans Bay Intermediate School Northern Suburbs - Newlands Intermediate and Newlands College Wellington West - Samuel Marsden Collegiate

FUNDING/SPONSORSHIP/SUPPORTERS
The funding from Gaming and Charitable Trusts provides invaluable support to the Centre financially for securing staff 12 months of the year, providing a wide range of competitions to meet the diverse needs of our communities, development programmes and academies to cater for all ages and abilities, providing a pathway for players as well as officials and management by running representative programmes for Year 9, Under 15 (x2 teams), 17 (x2 teams) and 19 (x2 teams) age groups plus emerging talent programmes.
During 2019, gaming and racing board trust funding was granted by New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT), Infinity Foundation Limited, Four Winds Foundation Limited, Pelorus Trust, The Lion Foundation, New Zealand Racing Board, One Foundation and Wellington Community Trust. We thank these funders for their ongoing support to the Centre and our members. Without this support the game of netball would be beyond the reach financially for many of our community.
We are incredibly privileged that a majority of our partners renewed their support in 2019, contributing to the Centre’s operational success. We would like to thank them all for their support, and the trust they put in us to align to their brand. We look forward to continuing to grow and foster our relationship in 2020.
PAK’nSAVE Kilbirnie continued their support towards our representative team food costs and our Good Sorts vouchers for our Winter competition. Thanks to Dean and Brian Galt and the team at PAK’nSAVE Kilbirnie for their ongoing support.
Jamie & Will Williams and the team from Wellington Hospitality Group continued their generous support with player of the day initiatives across our ASB winter competition and our three Satellites – Motu Kairangi, Northern Suburbs Netball and Wellington West Netball.
Mama Brown is our naming rights sponsors for our Centre Twilight leagues. They contributed towards food and drink vouchers for our winner and runner- up teams, match balls, plus spot prizes on final nights. We extend much thanks to Shah Aslam, Johnny Durham and the team located at Mama Brown on the corner of Tory & Wakefield Streets.
Capital Business Technology provides support that enables the Centre administration to have a more professional and efficient appearance with our photocopier/printer. Thanks to Stephen and the team at Capital Business Technology.

Wellington City Council and Sport Wellington have contributed financially and with guidance/support towards our emerging talent development programme. Sport Wellington also supported us with leadership development and development of our young student coaches.
Wellington Sports Med has once again been our ‘go to’ service provider at the ASB Sports Centre for injury care, strapping and for injuries sustained by netballers at all levels and follow up treatment. The players greatly appreciate the support that they received over the 2019 season.
Jason Pine from Newstalk ZB provided us with the opportunity to showcase our premier competition over the 2019 Winter Competition along with any special events we hosted. We really appreciated the air time and exposure that this gave our teams and players and look forward to continuing this relationship in 2020.
Mike Neilson and the team from Newtown Pita Pit provided some great healthy food options at Hataitai during the season and other events such as the Year 7 PDP FunFest. Player of the Day vouchers for college grades at Hataitai plus drink bottles and netballs for the grade winners were really well received.
COMPETITION
2019 was a great year for netball, especially for us here in Wellington with The Pulse, Beko team, U19’s and our Silver Ferns all winning. This meant our Centre got to see so many of these brilliant players play in our competition.
The 2019 season also saw an increase of 14 teams to our winter competition. This is a great result with 9 new college teams and 5 new club teams, with 248 teams in total. Ories Netball Club doubled in size going from 3 teams to 6 teams. I believe the biggest reason for the growth is being able to provide a competition that caters for all levels. It is great that our winter season can provide a competition that not only caters for our top-level athletes but all netball players.
This year also saw the length of the season change from 17 weeks to 16 weeks. This was a decision made at our club review night. The change meant the final series reduced to two weeks and this proved a positive change.
Our season review provided some positive feedback and a chance to discuss areas that needed some change. It was nice to get the chance to welcome representatives from our clubs, colleges, Board, umpires and NWC staff at the review evening. There was a lot of positivity shared surrounding the competition. One area we will look to make some changes, with support of our clubs, will be to create a player’s umpire group to help support and educate player umpires, players and coaches. It was great to have an open discussion to address areas that require further consideration.

Overall it has been another positive season for us and our three Satellites - Motu Kairangi, Wellington West, and Northern Suburbs Netball. We look forward to providing a competition in 2020 that will serve the needs of our netball community as best we can.
COMPETITION FINAL PLACINGS
Premier 1& 2 2019 Finals day, congratulations must go to P.I.C for securing first and second place in the premier 1 and premier 2 competitions. These playoffs were tightly contested with all 4 teams wanting the winner title. The Premier 1 playoff for 3rd and 4th was an exciting game which was well fought out with SMOG 1 beating Wgtn East 1 54-53. We also saw one of our college teams, SMC 1, coming 5th in Premier 1 by beating Vic Uni 1. All games on finals day had some fantastic netball on display which made for some entertaining viewing for the spectators.
Premier 3, Premier Reserve & Senior competition The Premier 3 to Senior 7 grades performed well over the season with players of all abilities able to enjoy playing the game of netball both competitively and socially. It is fantastic to see some of our ex players coming back into the game and seeing their families on the sideline supporting. Player umpire concerns were something that the Centre worked on over the 2019 season with more collaborative approach being offered for the 2020 season.
The season review evening confirms that in 2020 we will play a 16-week season again, starting from the 2nd of May to the 29th of August (Finals Day). We look forward to the season ahead.

Regional Secondary School League (RSSL) This is the ninth year this competition has been run by the Centre and College Sport Wellington, where 25 teams in three divisions took part from across Wellington, Hutt Valley, Kapi Mana, Kapiti and Wairarapa. The competition began on Monday 24th June after the first round of the school’s winter competition with seeding’s based on 2018 Lower North Island Secondary School tournament results. The finals took place at the ASB Sports Centre on Monday 26th August where St Mary’s College won against Samuel Marsden Collegiate (28-26) to win the Division One title. Division Two was won by Aotea College against Chilton St James (40-24) and Division Three was won by Upper Hutt College who played St Matthews Collegiate (24-21)

Division 1 St Mary’s College 1st Samuel Marsden Collegiate 2nd Queen Margaret College 6th Wellington Girls’ College 7th Wellington East Girls College 8th
Division 2 Tawa College 6th (14th overall) Newland College 8th (16th overall) Division 3 Onslow College 6th (22nd Overall)
NWC Collegiate Competition The Collegiate Grades are made up of three distinct groups: Collegiate Grades 1-3 Open grade (No age limit), Top four grades Hosted at the ASB Sports Centre Collegiate Grade 4 & 5 Open grade (No age limit), more ‘social’ grade Hosted at the Hataitai Netball Courts Junior Collegiate Grades 1-2 Junior grade (Year 9 & 10 Only) Hosted at the Hataitai Netball Courts
The 2019 season saw a few changes to the competition structure of the Collegiate 1 grade. With the help from our College Sports Coordinators we changed the format to have seeded grades for the top 24 teams. This meant every one of these teams had an opportunity to play themselves into the Club Grades. At the end of round one the top 4 teams played off for a spot in Premier Reserve 4, this was won by QMC 2 who then went on to win the grade. The remaining 3 teams moved into Premier Reserve 5, Newlands College 2 won this club grade. This is a great achievement for our college teams, as they both start the 2020 season in the club grades Premier Reserve 3 and 4.
The new competition structure was such a success there is a proposal to run all the collegiate grades with the same format for round one. We believe with these changes to the full Collegiate Competition will only make it better.

SOCIAL COMPETITION
Social Twilight leagues remain a core part of our competitions on offer. Spaces for our indoor twilight are snapped up in a matter of minutes causing a lot of disappointment for those that miss out. This season saw a slight decrease to our twilight numbers; this is due to court space. In our autumn and winter competition we are limited by the court space available so often have 8- 10 teams on our waiting list. We are pleased to be able to provide our umpires with more court time and support from our Centre umpires at these Twilight Competitions. We are grateful to have Mama Brown as our sponsor for our Twilight Competitions again this year. This sponsorship continues to be a benefit to both the Centre and Mama Brown and we hope this relationship will continue in 2020.

INTERMEDIATE COMPETITION
Our Intermediate Competition proves to be popular and highly competitive. These competitions run over a 6 week period and showcase some great young talent coming through.

COLLEGE COMPETITION
The College Competition continued as an off-season competition offered on both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. The competition was open to Year 9 to Year 13. As a result, the competition has really enticed a lot more players into our competition for the pure reason of playing netball for fun with their mates. This has been a real joy to watch and was the exact reason for offering such an opportunity. It was great to see a number of these teams self coached and self managed – a promising way to grow our volunteers of the future. Our College Competition also provides a supported environment for our college umpires to gain more experience and knowledge. We have a number of keen umpires already on the pathway, which is brilliant for the future.

WALKING NETBALL
Walking Netball continues to run on a Friday night giving a core group a fun sporting activity to be part of to finish their working week, a great way to keep fitness up over the off season or recovery fitness after an injury.
This modified version of the game also makes for a social yet sweat-inducing fun work-out. Rule modifications include no jumping or running so one foot must always maintain contact with the ground at all times, allowing an extra step before coming to a complete stop, allowing four seconds to hold the ball, and the centre pass is always awarded to the non-scoring team.
We really look forward to increasing our numbers over 2020 with the hope of running a competition of 3-4 teams. So if you are keen to find out more please contact the office.

UMPIRES AND BENCH OFFICIALS
The 2018/2019 year has provided another successful season for the Wellington Umpires and Bench Officials. A number of umpires achieved qualifications and were awarded with appointments to international and national tournaments, and NZ squads and Talent ID programmes for both Netball New Zealand and Netball Central Zone. Congratulations to Marlissa Howard who gained her NZ B Award at 2018 NZ Secondary Schools Netball Champs, and to Ann Hay on her international appointments.
We attribute these successes to the personal commitment and accountability of the individuals, and also the work of the panel members, coaches, mentors and assessors who provide support and development opportunities. These individuals need to be accredited which takes personal time and investment, and it is appreciated by those they are developing and the Centre.
This year we celebrated great success in the umpire theory achievements. Caleb Binns & Sue Geale tutored Zone theory and Sarah Littler, Anthony Karauria & Yvonne Small tutored NZ Theory. We had 100% pass rate with four Zone candidates and two New Zealand candidates enjoying the taste of how hard work pays off. The Centre is extremely lucky to have tutors of such high calibre and the results show the importance of the six-weeks of classes.
We continued to offer an umpire holiday programme at ASB Sport Centre in January which attracted the interest of over 20 students. Umpiring 101 workshops were offered over 2019 to help player-umpires to be a little more confident with whistle in hand for the start of the season. Both workshops were extremely popular with 99 people attending. Player umpiring is a key focus in 2020 and we look forward to working collaboratively with our clubs and school on this.
Our umpires took up the opportunity to umpire trials, attend representative tournaments, attend club/school/representative trainings and coaching clinics, and took up one or more games on a Saturday to ensure that we covered all of our premier games using qualified umpires. We are still well below the required numbers to meet the objective of being in the position to cover all Premier Reserve games but the foundations are being laid with a good cohort of umpires coming through at the introductory and centre level.
A big thank you to all our officials for their time, commitment and dedication.
2019 Netball Wellington Centre Umpire Awards
Contribution to Umpiring – This year’s award was presented to Kris Kincaid. Kris has done a magnificent job as panel lead. He has rallied his umpire coaches and increased our umpire database at the Introductory and Centre umpire level. Kris and his panel ensured recently qualified umpires got support and were given encouragement throughout the season. The panels were at ASB Sports Centre from 8:10 till 11:00 am most Saturday mornings.

NETBALL DEVELOPMENT
Netball Wellington Centre continues to work to ensure netball is accessible and inclusive. The goalposts are ever-changing so our passionate team at NWC welcomes feedback as we work on responding to demands for 2020 and beyond. For example a boys, and mixed competition is being looked at as an exciting addition in the near future. We pride ourselves on being open to trying different initiatives to accommodate the needs of our community. We aim to grow our netball community by providing more quality development opportunities that appeal to the interests of our all-age patrons.
NWC is committed to better supporting Wellington’s 3 wonderful hard working Junior Netball Satellites as they embrace and deliver Netball New Zealand’s futureFERNS programme which now expands from Year 1-8. Here the love of our game is ignited, and confidence is built through the design of the futureFERNS programme itself, the dedicated and motivating satellite administrators and coaches, and support from schools and families.
From this foundation players are encouraged to take up player development opportunities provided by NWC. Pre-season, in-season, off- season development programmes and holiday skill sessions for Yr 7-8 and Yr 9-11 are offered throughout the year to build skill and confidence in our young developing players. These opportunities also ensure that those who miss out on representative teams have an avenue in which to grow their game. NWC is fortunate to have passionate staff that lead these sessions and take great interest, and a long term interest in the development of those who attend. And the players are always very excited and love coaching sessions by special guests including Central Manawa Beko players, Pulse players and Silver Ferns.
Those players selected for representative are extended through excellent coaching and tournament experience. NWC benefits significantly by working collaboratively alongside Wellington City Council, Sport Wellington, and College Sport Wellington, and we appreciate their expertise and support of what we do to grow our game.

Fitness Initiatives Following on from the success of our pre-season group fitness sessions offered in the past, this year we welcomed the return of Ngarama Milner-Olsen who led Fitness sessions throughout February and March. The sessions attracted players, umpires and parent’s alike covering a variety of ages and stages. Ngarama worked hard to include everyone and challenged attendees to give it their all at their own pace. Similar initiatives will happen in 2020 to assist with preparing our netball community to start their netball season off on the best foot possible with the aim of remaining injury-free. Many thanks to Ngarama Milner-Olsen from Mobile Fitness Solutions for all her energy, expertise and enthusiasm shared with us all.

School, Tertiary and External Development Opportunities Netball Wellington Centre continues to partner with the team at ASB Sport Centre/Wellington City Council to deliver engaging quality coaching experiences for groups hosted at the ASB Sports Centre. NWC staff spends many hours’ netball and korfball coaching for schools and tertiary groups visiting the ASB Sports Centre. Other groups enjoying NWCs support include ASB Sports Centre’s ‘Senior Day’ walking netball, open walking netball, and netball for CCDHB and Sport Wellington groups. Overall, the Centre’s coaching hours and reach continues to expand. Term 4 is our busiest period with regards to school visits with a number of schools taking this opportunity to celebrate their end of year. We had a good mix of Korfball and Netball. Korfball holds a certain appeal to boys given it encourages long-range shots and could provide a perfect cross-over or lead-in to the college boys and mixed netball 6v6 game which is a new initiative we will be rolling out in 2020. We also worked with 2 American Universities with a tour of ASB and a game of netball. These groups are studying Physical Education, and this included researching facilities. Wellington was one of their last stops before heading back to America. We were the one stop off that provided them the opportunity to partake in a sporting activity, and one that they don’t get to play in America. We wish to thank the ASB Sports Centre staff for working closely with us to provide valuable netball and korfball opportunities to the wider community.

JUNIOR NETBALL SATELLITES
Netball Wellington Centre has three affiliated Satellites. Wellington West Netball, Northern Suburbs Netball and Motu Kairangi Netball are stand alone entities and the Centre supports them with opportunities such as Kiwi Whistler and adult umpiring programmes, coaching programmes, Intermediate Inter-Satellite Year 7&8 competition, futureFERNS for Year 1-6, Year 7&8 Player Development Programme and FunFest tournament, player development opportunities from Year 1-8, and operational support.
It was a pleasure to once again host the annual Intermediate Inter-Satellite Competition over the 2019 season. We enjoy seeing the future Netball Wellington players, coaches, umpires and management in action and once again we were not disappointed with what we witnessed in regard to skill level and abilities of these players. The grand final was between Evans Bay Intermediate School Revolution and Raroa Intermediate Eagles with EBIS securing the win on the day with a consistent display of netball.

Netball New Zealand’s Mother Earth futureFERNS programme has been successfully rolled out in each Satellite with all three taking full control of organisation in-house. This includes Year 1&2 (four-a-side), Year 3&4 (five-a-side), Year 5&6 (six-a-side) and Year 7&8 (seven-a-side) along with information and taster sessions. Each Satellite runs coach workshops organised by Netball Wellington Centre in support of these initiatives. Workshops aim to best prepare coaches and parents involved to deliver the modified game and relevant training plans with a focus remaining on fun.
NNZ Year 7&8 Player Development Programme (PDP) is an extension to the futureFERNS programme which helps us to widen the pool of players being exposed to development opportunities in this age group and inspire a lifelong love of netball. The PDP allows for upwards of 180 players across all three satellites to develop and extend their technical, tactical and athlete development skills, fostering a larger talent pool and continuing to engage players without the need to identify players at young age.
A FunFest was hosted at the end of the 5 week programme by NWC at the Hataitai Courts on Sunday 1st September which was attended by 12 teams. Teams were encouraged to come in fancy dress and invent creative team names highlighting the fun factor and eliminating a satellite vs satellite feel. The day included a mass NetballSmart warm-up facilitated by Netball Central Zone’s NetballSmart Development Officer Karla van der Merwe and ambassadors Maddy Gordon and Tiana Metuarau. Kiwi Whistlers from each Satellite got the chance to put their skills into practice, and Youth and Junior Led Irene van Dyk was on hand to support coaches and players. The FunFest was filmed by Netball NZ for their promotions in 2020, which was a huge treat for all involved.

REPRESENTATIVE NETBALL
The age group representative season is always a very busy but exciting time in Netball Wellington Centre’s calendar. Additional excitement has been injected into the representative space as NNZ announced that in 2020 there will be an U18 National Tournament in July and an Open Tournament in September. To align with this, Netball Taranaki is in the process of changing the North Island U15 Championship to Under 16 and a Yr 9 or U14 grade with a boys and mixed grade also being considered.
NWCs Year 9s, U15 Black and U15 Gold teams were selected in early May and prepared to compete at the North Island U15 Championship held in New Plymouth and hosted by Netball Taranaki. So too were the U17 Black and Gold teams which went on to compete at the National U17 Tournament hosted by Netball Waitakere. All five teams participated in the Marjorie Jenden Tournament hosted by Netball Wairarapa at their fabulous, recently completed Colombo St complex, the Betty Steffensen tournament hosted every year by Netball Manawatu in Palmerston North, and the Wellington Combined Centre’s Yr 9 and U15 fixtures hosted by Netball Kapiti.
The NWC Yr 9s enjoyed great success early in the 2019 season winning all eleven games over the first two tournaments. However the challenges came thick and fast in A Grade at the North Island U15 Tournament. Despite losing all eight games over the three days and being relegated to B Grade, five of those losses were by five goals or less. This team can be very proud of their efforts and hold their heads high, as only one of two Yr 9 teams in A grade. They showed great determination and resilience, fronting up game after game, displaying some wonderful skills and gaining valuable experience in the process.
U15 Gold followed a very similar pattern winning their sections in the Marjorie Jenden and Betty Steffensen tournaments. After six consecutive losses at the North Island U15 Championship each player dug deep to post wins in their final two games on the last day to finish on a high and retaining their place in B Grade for 2020. Players in our U15 Black team showed significant growth throughout the season with futures looking very bright indeed. U15 Black won sixteen, lost six and drew one over the season and placed 10th in A Grade at the North Island U15 Championship.
The challenge was on for U17 Black to make top four in the 2019 National U17 Tournament. The team played hard and skilful netball on defence and attack for a five game winning streak before losing to Manawatu Green in their sixth game. Their only other loss at the tournament was their final game against Auckland, with Auckland finishing in 5th place and Wellington in 6th place. Players should take great heart from a very strong campaign. U17 Gold was an energetic and lively team always in the hunt. Over the season this team won thirteen games and lost ten including four losses by one goal. It was the result of every player giving their all on court that saw the team finish a very credible 19th placing out of 40 teams at Nationals.
Such was the depth of players and coaches in the U19 age group, two teams - Black and Gold, were selected to compete in the Betty Steffensen Tournament and Dale Wortman Tournament held in the ASB Sports Centre and hosted by Netball Wellington Centre. U19 Gold played 9 games, winning 4 (v Hutt Valley U19 and Taranaki U19 both twice), losing 4 (Manawatu U19 x 2, Wellington Black, and Christchurch) and played out one draw against Christchurch U17 Red. Only U19 Black travelled to Invercargill for the National U19 Tournament which they won in style, beating five teams on their way to an impressive thirteen goal win against Auckland in the

final. U19 Black played fifteen tournament games throughout the season winning all fifteen with a very impressive winning game average of 49 – 20.

Some feedback from our players and parents celebrating how amazing our management were: “The amount of time, passion and commitment she has put into our team is amazing and out of the pure enjoyment of netball” “Not only is she super organised but she brings a real warmth and love to the teams that she manages which is key in uniting and building a strong team” “She has such a passion for the game, and her enthusiasm and passion rubs off on everyone she comes into contact with” “Awesome Coach. I felt really privileged” “Super concise with instructions and made it clear, what was expected, and yet at the same time allowed for us as individuals to contribute our own ideas and experience as to what we decided to do on and off court”

NETBALL WELLINGTON CENTRE TALENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Netball Wellington Centre aligns with the Netball Central Zone’s (NCZ) performance vision which is for Zone Centres “to dominate national age group competitions”. We are proud of the wider group of players in the NWC Talent Development Programme, most of who are selected for age UPDATE FOR 2016 group representative teams. We believe in the players building relational and performance character to realise their full potential in netball and in life through the NWC talent development programmes.
Wellington City Council Sports Talent Development Programme The Wellington City Council Sports Talent Development Programme is funded by Wellington City Council with the long term view of increasing the number of sportspeople from Wellington City achieving national and international sporting success. Netball is one of eight sports in the programme. Managed by Mark Watson and his Sport Wellington Performance Hub team including Cam Durno and Meaghan Wilby, twelve players have enjoyed participating in six workshops throughout the year, linking in with the other sporting codes, and learning off inspiring role models, and experts in their fields. Our players have benefitted significantly as a result of attending one early morning court conditioning session a week, and one concentrated gym session in the High Performance Sport New Zealand gym per week over the year. HPSNZ intern Jaimee Taylor took over from HPSNZ Strength and Conditioner David Sturrock earlier in the year and she has been a passionate and engaged lead in this space, as was David prior to leaving. Her hard work and expertise is paying off as players are improving their fitness levels and movement competencies, and therefore enjoying very good on court performances.

COACH DEVELOPMENT
Netball NZ’s five tier coaching framework remains in place as the official coach performance pathway. Foundation level development opportunities aimed at junior coaches remain well attended. We are grateful to Junior Netball Satellite representatives support their local Year 1-8 coaches by arranging workshops held locally. The futureFERN workshops support beginner level coaches, many of whom may have been gently coaxed into taking up a coaching role. The CCA 1 & 2 modules flow on from these nicely however coaches can start from CCA 1 without the need to do the futureFERN workshops. The Player Centre Coaching module is a great intro for coaches in any sporting codes. The aim of the modules is to enable coaches to feel more confident in their capabilities and ensure they start coaching essential basics for players to build upon through a player centred learning philosophy.
The more advanced coaches will continue on their pathway through the Performance Coach Award (PCA) or Community Coach Qualification (CCQ) programme. The CCQ is a new initiative for Netball Central Zone as a pilot programme for players who have gained their experience of high performance sport through participation. This will allow them to cross credit their learnings over to CCA 1 & 2, so they can move onto their PCQ accreditation.
Coach developers (module facilitators) continue to be a focal point for us as we look to engage coaches who have been through their CCA modules, CCQ or PCA. We are interested to hear from those that have stepped aside from coaching as we believe their wealth of knowledge from their theory and practical experiences will make them an incredible facilitator of the CCA 1 & 2 modules. We have a large number of modules on offer that are hosted at all five Wellington Regional Centres in support of those wanting to build on their coaching kete.
We wish to thank our established coach developers who give their time to deliver within our Wellington region. Many thanks to Tash Rowlands, Karen Bevan, Maria Hegarty, Kylie Tuffery, Irene van Dyk and Lee Spence for the value add your give while delivering engaging module/workshop content. These Coach Developers facilitated the Netball New Zealand coaching modules hosted by Netball Wellington Centre between October 2018 to September 2019 listed below:

The five Wellington Regional Centres continue to make a combined effort to offer courses scheduled for the right time of year as meets the needs of coaches. Informal workshops remain a valuable practical opportunity to learn, ask questions on the spot and benefit from first-hand observation in an engaging environment. NCZ are committed to deliver two Fill Your Kete offerings per year (per region) and we aim to continue to explore additional offerings to appeal to the variety of kinaesthetic, aural, and visual learning needs of our coach community in 2020.
