    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.
