1 Netball South Chief Executive’s Report - Sue Clarke

Sport in continues to offer opportunities to connect, support, grow and challenge ourselves. As a country we are still considered to be sport mad and it has been suggested that general elections can be won or lost on the outcome of an All Black’s game.

The game of netball has a long and proud history. It now needs to evolve to meet the fast changing landscape of the recreation sector, competing sports and activities. For netball we know our core is strong as outlined below:  Netball is the number one choice of team sport for females in New Zealand and the second largest participation after rugby.  Netball is the most popular team sport for girls and the top participation sport in secondary schools. It was ranked in the top eight of sport and recreation activities participated in by girls in all age groups.  Netball is the number one activity that girls aged 5-18 years want to try and do more of.  An estimated 144,000 adults aged 16 – 64 years, or 5 per cent of the adult population, are also playing netball.

The question is how we remain engaged with our netball audiences to capture our large player base and ensure that the game of netball is loved and played by those across the ages. Innovative, appropriate and quality programmes and products will enhance this.

In 2014, embarked on a review process which saw a Whole of Netball Plan (WON) emerge in a draft format. The purpose of this is that collectively we are committed to delivering quality netball experiences to all participants – be they players, coaches, umpires and officials, administrators, volunteers, fans and spectators.

The WON Plan has been developed around three outcomes: 1: Grow the game - growth and lifelong participation in the game. 2: Love the game - more people in New Zealand love the game. 3: Win the game - we win and are the best in the world.

With the development of the WON Plan during 2014, I believe we will see innovative programmes over the next three to five years as this is phased in. Priority areas are currently being defined which will flow into our Zones and Centres and ultimately strengthen the overall position of netball in our society.

One of the early successes of this uniform approach has been the revamped Junior Programme which provided an opportunity to introduce netball in a relative format to the Year 1-2 age group with 1540 youngsters taking part. The foundation blocks are being re-built and the Year 3 & 4 programme are set for roll out in 2015.

Our Centres and Clubs are at the coal face of our community game and are a vital foundation block. I am indebted to the hours of volunteer time given to the game. Watching a variety of netball during the season, I saw fun, passion and excitement at all levels. It is fair to say the competitive spirit was also evident and this was blended with comradery both on and off the court.

This year we welcomed and also said farewell to staff members. Hannah Coutts joined us as the Southland Development Officer and has since been a familiar face around the province. In April, our Central Otago Development office Olivia Bates resigned and I thank her for her expertise and engaging nature during her time with us. Paula Kay-Rodgers was appointed to this role and quickly made in-roads into this region and certainly has plans afoot for 2015.
