  • Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding
    Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding Inline Hockey New Zealand © Working-concepts are copyright Cluster Creative Ltd Inline Hockey New Zealand – Branding Brand Perception Current logo Inline Hockey is like ice hockey but is played on roller blades. Inline Hockey is seen as an alternative sport. It has small numbers in NZ. This should not be seen as negative, but as a unique positioning because this could make it desirable to individuals who would like to express themselves in a creative way. It is a fringe sport which is edgy. The edge comes from the use of roller blades which give it a hint of ‘skate culture’ and provides a rush of adrenalin. It also needs to be seen as a ‘real’ sport. The brand needs to be regarded as official and as having a NZ team. However, the curent branding gives the opposite impression. This needs to be changed. Audience The sport needs to grow. Work-on-the-ground has been done to address this but the brand is lacking. The primary audience must be the kids, yet also tick the boxes for parents. The target audience is: Kids who: - have tried roller blading (or who may be attracted to it) - have not ‘connected’ with mainstream sport - see the sport is cool - see that the sport has heroes (market the star players?) - see it has future for them. Parents who: - are open to alternatives - want their child to fair go (smaller sport means more inclusive feel?) - want a supportive community Inline Hockey New Zealand © Working-concepts are copyright Cluster Creative Ltd Demographics Cities - have good facilities but market reach is hard due to competition Rural - easier to market to by word of mouth Schools - a captive audience, but must be introduced in a cool way not a school way Media - some inline hockey mention in print and radio, ice hockey (parent-sport) gets some mainstream coverage Web - has a website, FB page, but no active campaigning using Google Analytics or tracking.

  • Rugby Sevens Match Demands and Measurement of Performance: a Review
    Henderson, M.J. et al.: RUGBY SEVENS MATCH DEMANDS... Kinesiology 50(2018) Suppl.1:49-59 RUGBY SEVENS MATCH DEMANDS AND MEASUREMENT OF PERFORMANCE: A REVIEW Mitchell J. Henderson1,2,3,, Simon K. Harries2, Nick Poulos2, Job Fransen1,3, and Aaron J. Coutts1,3 1University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Sport & Exercise Discipline Group, Faculty of Health, Australia 2Australian Rugby Sevens, Australian Rugby Union (ARU), Sydney, Australia 3University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Human Performance Research Centre, Australia Review UDC: 796.333.3: 796.012.1 Abstract: The purpose of this review is to summarize the research that has examined the match demands of elite-level, men’s rugby sevens, and provide enhanced understanding of the elements contributing to successful physical and technical performance. Forty-one studies were sourced from the electronic database of PubMed, Google Scholar and SPORTDiscus. From these, twelve original investigations were included in this review. Positive match outcomes are the result of an interplay of successful physical, technical, and tactical performances. The physical performance of players (activity profile measurement from GPS) includes high relative total distance and high-speed distance values in comparison to other team sports. The technical performance of players (skill involvement measurement from match statistics) involves the execution of a range of specific offensive and defensive skills to score points or prevent the opponent from scoring. The factors influencing change in these performance constructs has not been investigated in rugby sevens. There is a paucity in the literature surrounding the situational and individual factors affecting physical and skill performance in elite rugby sevens competition. Future studies should investigate the factors likely to have the strongest influence on player performance in rugby sevens.
