For those in the Pacific, the highlight event was the hotly contested titles on offer at the Pacific Games, the largest Pacific multisport event that is held every 4 years. The highlight for youth this quarter was the opportunity for Oceania’s best Cadets to compete to secure a place in Team Oceania for the World Cadet Challenge, whilst the Junior Teams contested for the position to attend the World Junior Championships later in the year. In addition to the umpire, referee and coach education courses that took place, various players and coaches represented the Oceania region at international level. The Pacific’s focus was centered around preparing and competing in the 2019 Pacific Games, where there was team, individual and para titles contested. With the strategic plan in mind, and coaches being the key to players learning the skills of Table Tennis continued efforts were put on upskilling coaches through coach education courses. Priority was given to the countries who have not had a coaching course in recent years. This quarter also included the delivery of an Olympic Solidarity funded coach course and training camp. For the final quarter of 2019 Oceania looks forward to providing additional support to more countries through the development funding and through the support of Olympic Solidarity funded courses. ITTF-Oceania would like to thank the ITTF, the National Olympic Committees, ONOC as well Olympic Solidarity for their on-going contribution to a sustainable development of the sport in Oceania. Jessica MacAskill High Performance & Development Manager ITTF-Oceania Page 3 HIGHLIGHTS 1. Pacific Games – A highlight event for all Pacific countries and athletes every 4-years. 11 countries competed in teams, individual and para events. There was a historic first Table Tennis Gold Medal for Tuvalu with Ioane Hawaii winning gold in the para Seated Men’s singles event. 2. A Pacific Performance Training camp was held in Nuku’alofa Tonga prior to the Oceania Junior Championships to help prepare players for the event. 3. Bounce it Back, the inclusive school program was rolled out in Fiji. “The introduction of Bounce it Back to schools here in Fiji will be of great benefit in providing an opportunity to have children more active while providing them an opportunity to learn the basic skills of Table Tennis. At the same time the program gives us an opportunity to deliver social inclusion messages to the children. The program will greatly support the already established Smash Down Barriers disability program that our DO’s deliver. The course was also a good opportunity to have Teachers from various schools attend and learn how to deliver the all-inclusive program.” Naren – President FTTA.

The participants were provided hands-on umpire experience as they assisted in umpiring many of the matches of the Pacific Games, the event which followed directly after the course. The course has assisted in leaving a legacy beyond the Pacific Games, with Samoa having skilled umpires who can assist with future local community and national level competitions.

Simultaneously the course conductor, provided some mentoring to a couple of the participants who passed the referee course.

The course was attended by local participants from the club and schools on the island. The idea behind having a course on Nuku Hiva is that it is the largest of the Marques islands that form part of French Polynesia (Tahiti) and this group of islands is not near the main islands or center of Table Tennis. Nuku Hiva now has ten new coaches who have gained significant skills and knowledge from the course who can now assist the Tahitian Federation to promote the sport and provide players local development opportunities.

The ANZ Bank Tennis Development Program continues in 14 nations and the calendar of ITF W orld Junior Circuit events in the region provides opportunities for players to take their first steps on the international stage. Our ITF development officer Dan O‘Connell, assisted by an enthusiastic group of OTF development officers, has been instrumental in continuing the grassroots development of tennis. The various activities are covered in depth elsewhere in this report. After two earlier attempts to move forward with resurfacing the courts at the regional tennis centre in Lautoka, the project finally got underway in May 2008.

Key Pillars of the Strategic Plan page 8 6. Objectives page 9 7. Key Strategies page 10-15 8. Summary page 16 2 Message from the President On behalf of the Council of the Oceania Athletics Association, it is with great pleasure that I introduce the Association’s Strategic Plan to guide its future direction. Athletics in Oceania is in a very healthy state. Participation is growing, development programs expanding, and the Association is in a strong financial position. The Oceania Athletics Association held its first Congress in August 1969. Since that time it has seen significant growth in participation and performance outcomes across the region. This has been a shared contribution, with every athlete, coach, official and their families, making a contribution to this success. Without doubt, the sport of athletics has faced some very serious challenges in recent years. Governance issues have been a key theme, and have impacted the overall health of the sport. That said, under the leadership of its President Sebastian Coe, the IAAF has made some enormous changes and improvements, and has given great hope for the future of the sport. Oceania Athletics Association is proud to have contributed to these improvements, and we look forward to continuing to contribute locally, across our Area, and globally for many years to come. We have unashamedly set our vision as “Athletics as the premier sport of Oceania”.
