Julie Paterson CEO DECEMBER NEWSLETTER PAGE 2 Community Netball Holidays – time for rest, relaxation and reflection. Change is a process and needs to be worked through. The biggest consistent challenge we hear from our Centres about the Congratulations to new Junior Netball programme is the parents. So here are some words of wisdom; all winners and “An overemphasis on competition – as opposed to training - makes it easy to nominees that were understand why many parents and coaches measure success in wins and recognised for their losses. Our sports have become far more success orientated and far less hard work and developmentally focussed” John O’Sullivan author of Changing the Game. dedication! “You have to love a sport to play it well, and love grows out of enjoyment.” Golfing great Jack Nicklaus. “Our job as a coach is to enhance players leaving them at the end of the season to be a better, more skilled player than when they started. Win or lose it simply doesn’t matter”. Coaches Talk column in AMI Netball North Harbour’s November 2014 newsletter. So a challenge next year is to collectively focus on our parents who need to review the purpose of sport and work them through the change. So hopefully they at their children are enjoying their netball and developing their fundamental netball skills while having fun. Counties Manukau Sport and their ‘Have a go Days’ have provided an enjoyable experience working with the other codes of sport to deliver quality skill sessions in the Isaiah from Puhinui School schools. The fun and effort the children express no matter what obstacles they may have to overcome, as you can see from Isaiah (Puhinui School) who although is bound to his wheelchair will still partake in all activities. Papatoetoe North School and Sir Edmond Hillary School also took part in the ‘Have a go Days’ and again great to see the level of skill from not just the girls but also the boys who took part. A lot of questions have been asked by the children where can they go to play so Centres get ready here we go for 2015! Netball Active in Schools Programme completed for 2014. A very successful program that was rolled out in June 2014 with 700 students participating from 20 schools across the mid north area.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 1 Many Thanks to the Following Grant Funders and Sponsors 2 CONTENTS Chair’s Message 4 Cheif Executive’s Report 5 Haier Pulse 7 Community Netball 9 High Performance Report 11 Audited Financial Accounts 20 3 CHAIR’S Message It is now 18 months on from commencing establishment of the Netball Central Zone (NCZ) in September 2012 and it is amazing how quickly time has passed and very satisfying to be presenting this first annual report to our netball community. There is much to be proud of and much work still to be done, which is the nature of our establishment phase. Firstly, there are many to thank and acknowledge for the progress that has been made. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and ongoing support of our staff, centres, sponsors, funding partners, Netball NZ, TTNL and the wider netball community, whether they be players, coaches, umpires, officials or administrators. Ultimately we are all in this together for the benefit and future growth of netball at all levels of the game. On behalf of the NCZ board, we cannot thank you enough for your ongoing contribution. The Haier Pulse enjoyed its most successful year to date in 2013, with some fantastic results on the court in front of packed crowds at our home games. I would like to acknowledge the contribution of our coach Robyn Broughton and her management team to the team’s continued development, along with the players led by their inspirational captain Katrina Grant. Establishing the NCZ board and management team, implementing key recommendations of the Zone working party and setting and implementing a clear strategic direction for the Zone have been a major focus of the Board, as has been finding the right staff, coaches, players and funds to ensure its sustainability.

    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.
