Netball South Launches Newsletter from the Chair April 2014 Netball South Launches Newsletter Welcome to the first edition of Pass It On. Here you will find news and views from across all facets of our organisation. If there is anything you would like to see included in the next edition, email our Corporate and Communications Manager Kate Buchanan on [email protected]. We want to keep you up with the play so let us know what’s happening in your team, club or centre. From the Chair – Paul Buckner Netball South chairman Paul Buckner shares some insight into what's been happening around the board table. The Zone’s AGM on 26 March 2014 marked the resignation of Deputy Chair Debbie Hodges coinciding with her election to the board of NNZ. We congratulate Debbie on this achievement and thank her for all her previous hard work on our board and its predecessor boards of Netball Southland and Teamco. Kate Leebody retired from our board the same night and is replaced by Angee Shand from Invercargill who was elected unopposed. We welcome Angee and thank Kate for her contributions on the zone board which were only a small part of the lifetime she has offered to netball (including sitting twice on the NNZ board). Kate’s larger than life personality will be missed. Debbie’s replacement is still “work in progress” and will be made (hopefully with our input) by NNZ as this was a NNZ appointed position. The last 18 months have been demanding and included winding up Netball Southland, Netball Otago and Southern TeamCo, creating the new Zone, drafting a strategic plan (“the strength of one”), familiarizing ourselves with shared services packages developed by NNZ and providing direction and encouragement to our very busy CEO Sue Clarke. We have to date met monthly alternating between Balclutha and Gore but have discussed holding some of our meetings over the next season or two in other towns to promote netball throughout our zone. The big issue on the table is our response to possible restructure to the ANZ Championship competition. Once we have a clearer idea of the options available we will consult with our centres. The major message coming out of our AGM was that our members (the 10 centres) wanted greater communication with the board. It is intended this column will be a regular feature and go some way in filling the communication gap. Now that the transition from 12 regions to 5 zones is complete we have greater opportunity to be pro-active rather than reactive and work with our members. Our next meeting is in Gore on 29 April. Finally, I wish the Steel more success, building on their fine wins over the Thunderbirds and Fever as the season progresses. From the CEO – Sue Clarke From grassroots to the elite ranks of the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel, netball season is well and truly upon us for 2014. Calendars are brimming at all levels of our game – club netball teams are completing grading matches, training for the revamped Junior Netball programme is underway at Centre level and the Steel is already half way through their ANZ Championship season. Our up-coming Development Camp in Gore is fully subscribed with eager netballers. This annual fixture is vitally important to Netball South as these players, umpires and coaches are our future. Centre Talent Development sessions continue to be well supported with players making strong progress. Jo Morrison is finalising a High Performance Coaching group with three participants in Invercargill and four in Dunedin. We recently confirmed appointments for our Zone U23 team. Head coach Reinga Te Huia will be joined by assistant coach Alice Conrad, manager Sarah Lloyd and physio Corina Ngatuere. The national U19 and U23 Championships will be staged in Dunedin in July. We would like to extend our congratulations to South Otago defender Abby Erwood who has earned selection in the NNZ Secondary School squad. A team of 12 plus four non-travelling reserves will be named following a three-day trial from April 28. The team will travel to Adelaide mid-May to defend their title at the International School Girls’ Netball Challenge. Umpires Sasha McLeod and Alannah Robinson (reserve) were selected from the National Development Umpire Squad camp which ran alongside the NZSS trials recently. Sasha will also travel to Adelaide to officiate. NNZ said the opportunity was provided to the development squad umpires who had demonstrated consistent improvement and the tournament in Adelaide will be another important step in their umpiring development. It’s fantastic to see those from our Netball South Zone continuing to shine on the national and international stage. Best wishes, Under the watchful eye of Steel Colleen Bond, left, with umpires at the New Zealand midcourter Gina Crampton, Chenoa Secondary School trials held recently in Metua is officially our new prone hold Auckland. South Zone was aptly represented by champion with an impressive time of Sasha McLeod and Alannah Robinson (on right end). 5 mins 11 secs! Can you beat it? Chenoa is one of our Dunedin U14 players and a member of the Netball South Talent Development squad. Junior Netball Academy The Netball South Junior Netball Academy has continued to prove popular this year with over 240 budding netballers from throughout the Zone completing the programme in Term One. Junior Academy players at the MLT Event Centre in Gore Registrations are now open for Term Two for academies in Dunedin, Invercargill, Gore, Queenstown, Winton … and a brand new academy in Balclutha! Registration forms can be found on our website – www.netballsouth.co.nz. A highlight for the Dunedin and Invercargill academy players this term was the opportunity to decorate the Southern Steel’s changing room and form a guard of honour for the team on the court at an ANZ Championship game. Dunedin Academy players form a guard of honour for the Steel prior to their game against the West Coast Fever in March. They must have been our lucky charm with Steel winning a thriller 66-65. Netball South Development Camp One of the major events on the Netball South calendar is our Annual Development Camp – this year being staged at St Peters College in Gore from April 27-30. Year 9- 11 players from throughout our Zone congregate over four days to attend the camp. With an extensive programme encompassing all aspects of the game – from nutrition to specialist skills - it also caters strongly for coach and umpire development. Southern Steel players Jodi Brown, Phillipa Finch and Rachel Rasmussen will host specialist sessions on their respective areas – attack, midcourt and defence. As netballers ourselves we know how important it is to have the ‘right fit’ in a shoe. Player welfare is hugely important to us. And for that reason we would have no hesitation recommending all our players, from grassroots to the elite level, get fitted for the right shoe at the Shoe Clinic. A valued sponsor, the Shoe Clinic in Invercargill has extended the following offer: Netball South Snippets Zone Umpire Development Group This group was set up to ensure there is a link between the Zone and Centres. Facilitated by Netball South’s Umpire Coordinator Colleen Bond, the group consists of: Alison Cormack, Ellen Waide, Liz Cairns, Joyce Andrew, Maree McMillan and Jono Bredin. Technical Officials Development Group These people have the best seat in the house and are keen to encourage others to give it a go - whether it be on the bench side or statistics side. The role of this group will be to ensure training and opportunities are given to any keen people from throughout the Zone. Members of the group are: Julie Erskine (Bench Coordinator), Raylene Leith-Forbes (Stats Coordinator), Julie Fleury, Lyn Wilson, Talei Anderson and Jean Rowley Junior Programme Update To date nine of the 10 Centres in South Zone have sought endorsement. Junior co-ordinator training has started with 20 people trained in the past week in preparation for the start of the programmes in term two. To find out more about this programme visit www.mynetball.co.nz/juniornetball NNZ Service Award Recipients Fabulous to see Yvonne Brew (Netball Upper Clutha) and Julie Erskine (Invercargill Netball Centre) recognised for their tireless efforts with a prestigious Service Award at the Netball New Zealand AGM in February. Congratulations to you both on such a deserved achievement. ANZ grant for INC Well done Invercargill Netball Centre for earning an ANZ Grant of $1500 for new equipment. Dedication to netball honoured A stalwart of Central Otago netball, Margaret Bennie is a deserving recipient of the John Fitzharris Memorial Trophy for Services to Sport Testament to over three decades of dedication to netball in the region, Margaret received the honour at the Central Otago Sports Awards on April 11. Joining the executive of Central Otago Netball in 1981, Margaret was elected Junior Vice President in 1982 and then took on the secretarial duties in 1984, a position which she still holds 30 years later. In 1984-85, Margaret was also secretary of the Otago Country Sub- Association. Renowned for her efficiency and willingness to go the extra mile, Margaret would be one of the only secretaries still taking minutes using shorthand. Her record keeping is accurate, her communication skills excellent and her attention to detail exemplary. As well as her secretarial duties, Margaret has also taken on the role of Tournament Convenor. Central Otago Netball runs two or three tournaments throughout the netball season and all are very well organised with Margaret at the helm. She will be up at the courts very early on the day of the tournament to assist with sandwich making, setting up the canteen, office and umpires room, and has usually made muffins beforehand for the umpires to enjoy during the day.

  • New Steel Membership 2021
    2021 For us, travelling to Auckland and playing away from home for 7 weeks straight was tough. Once we knew that we were coming home to play with our home crowd behind us, it lied our spirits and kept us fighting. It was such an emotional return to our Steel fortress. We all knew that we needed to play the best netball we had ever played to reward all of you for being such amazing, loyal supporters of our Steel team. The noise and energy that we get when we step out of those changing rooms and onto the main court is outstanding. The way you cheer from the beginning of the match right till the end helps us secure a win. You really are FROM THE our 8th player. As we look towards our 2021 campaign we’re excited for many reasons. With 8 home games and a new look team, it’s an opportunity for us to rebuild with some exciting players who are chomping at the bit to be given the opportunity to start in the ANZP.

  • Newsletter 10Th March
    Week 6, Term 1 Wednesday 10th March, 2021 Changes in the Covid-19 Alert levels have definitely made it an interesting start to the year. We appreciated your understanding when events needed to be postponed and changes were made at short notice. Hopefully with the Covid-19 immunisation programme now underway we will see less yo-yoing in and out of alert levels and have a more settled second half of the term. EOTC Week - I want to once again acknowledge the HUGE amount of work that our teachers put into organising a very successful EOTC week for our students. A lot of time and effort was put into planning the wide range of activities on offer and the enthusiastic way that students engaged in activities and the smiles on their faces was testament to the success of the events they had planned. Clyde School is very lucky to have such a dedicated team. Our sincere thanks also to all those who helped out over the course of the week, with activities, transport and supervision. Without your support EOTC week would not have been possible. Puketeraki Marae - Last Thursday our Year 5 students visited Puketeraki Marae in Karitane, where they experienced a pōwhiri and learnt about Marae protocols. A highlight for many was learning how to weave with flax and creating a flax bookmark to take home. Thank you to those who accompanied our students and to Karla Robb, who led the Karanga. Whānau Meetings - It was great to see so many parents attend the recent whānau meetings. I received lots of positive feedback about these meetings, with a number of parents expressing how nice it was to be given an opportunity to talk about their child’s strengths and what makes them special.
