Through its Zones, Centres, Clubs and Schools there are over 145,000 affiliated players. The sport contributes significantly to communities both urban and rural, providing opportunities for members to participate in healthy activity, have fun, develop leadership skills and learn values of fair play and achievement. All of these attributes contribute to the development of netballers, officials and administrators as individuals and to their communities across the Zone.

The Zone has 18 affiliated Netball Centres; spread across the Nelson, Marlborough, Tasman, West Coast and Canterbury (as far south as the Waitaki river) areas, and has responsibility for the support and delivery of netball from community level through to high performance – leading the development of players, coaches, umpires, administrators, technical officials and volunteers across these levels.

This year saw the inaugural ANZ Premiership (ANZP) Netball competition get underway, with an exciting post ANZP Super Club competition in Nelson, involving the top four NZ teams and a number of teams from overseas. Participation numbers grew across the Zone: • 22,666 affiliated players (recreational, year 3 & 4 and year 5 & 6 greatest increase) • 1,673 coaches • 302 accredited umpires • 55 qualified and cadet bench officials Progress of this nature would not be possible without the ongoing contribution of our delivery agents and we are certainly indebted to Centres, Clubs and Schools for their invaluable support in achieving these milestones. Our events also continue to build year on year including; unprecedented numbers at our Zone Under 15 tournament, festival days and ANZP home games – attracting an average attendance of over 1,900 people. 2017 saw the Board engage HPSNZ to review the Netball Mainland Performance programme. There were eight key recommendations from this review, which have all been implemented. An undoubted highlight was the performance of the Hellers Mainland Beko Netball League team who finished in runner-up position after a closely fought final against the Central team. GOVERNANCE The Board has remained stable in 2017, with NNZ appointee Darren Wright coming onto the Board in November 2016, replacing Bernadette Pinnell. We would like to thank Bernadette for her contribution to the NM Board and Zone governance. Next year sees the Board engage in its independent biennial governance review. Netball Mainland Annual Report 2017 11 FINANCIAL It is disappointing to record an operating deficit for the 2016/17 financial year. There were a number of extraordinary expenses, increased costs, a reduction in grants/donations and gate receipts that contributed to this deficit. Revenue streams vary massively from year to year and our reliance on gaming trust funding continues to be a risk to our organisation. In addition, it is not always possible to secure the full funding required for the delivery of a project or salaried position and this also impacted our bottom line. Sponsorship revenue increased slightly on previous years, showing the benefits of investing in a dedicated Commercial Manager and we were thrilled to welcome national jewellery retailer “Silvermoon” as naming rights partner for our Tactix ANZ Premiership team and “Hellers” for the Mainland Netball League team. Generating sponsorship revenue, an equitable share of gaming trust funding, and support from local and central government remains a significant on-going challenge for not only Netball but women’s sport in general. For 2018 the key priorities are to increase sponsorship revenue, increase gate receipts, secure budgeted gaming trust funding and micro-manage expenses. Even achieving these key priorities will likely see the need to increase affiliation fees to cover the financial ‘gap’. NATIONAL HONOURS It is always a huge thrill to see our players, coaches, officials and management selected for National honours. Congratulations to those who achieved selection in 2017: • Silver Ferns Squad – Temalisi Fakahokotau • Silver Ferns Development Squad – Ellie Bird, Erikana Pedersen and Zoe Walker • Fast 5 Ferns - Temalisi Fakahokotau, Erikana Pedersen and Zoe Walker • NZU21 - Charlotte Elley and Kate Lloyd • NZ U21 Assistant Coach – Julie Seymour • “Hunt for Height” Head Coach – Nic Kelly • FAST5 Ferns Manager - Leanne Harris • NZ Test Technical Officials – Anne Harrison, Aileen Neilson, Margaret Marsh and Kay Norris • NZ Test Statisticians – Vicki Reid, Robyn Vermeeren and Suzanne Whyte Heartiest congratulations to Netball Mainland players; Charlotte Elley (Vice-Captain), Kate Lloyd and Assistant

Tel: (209) 946 2981 Email: [email protected] 1 The UK Netball Superleague: A Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport Abstract This paper draws on theories of franchising in examining the emergence of the UK Netball Superleague in 2005. The focus of the paper is to explore the development of an empowered franchise framework as part of England Netball's elite performance strategy and the consequences of the Superleague for player performance, team success, and commercial potential of the franchises. The findings from 22 in-depth interviews conducted between 2008-2011 with franchise personnel and sport media/marketing consultants inform the discussion. The paper further comments on the implications of the empowered franchise system for developing NGB elite performance strategies. Introduction Emerging in the late 19th century as a sport “initially designed and traditionally administered as an activity for promoting appropriate forms of femininity” (Tagg, 2008, p 410), Netball is played by more than 20 million people in over 80 nations across the globe (INFA, 2011). It is an invasion ball game predominantly played by girls and women between teams of 7 players.

    A Brief History of Netball and Our Tactix Legacy

    A Brief History of Netball and our Tactix Legacy What is Netball? “A new game for girls, about which a good deal will probably be heard in the course of the ensuing summer, is basket-ball. It has already swept the United States, completely eclipsing lawn tennis, and effectually nipping in the bud the threatened revival of croquet….The chief beauty of the game is its simplicity, and the fact that no expensive apparatus is required. Wherever two old baskets, a couple of clothes props, and a ball, are there can it be played.” (Otago Witness, 6 May 1897) The Game The game of netball is derived from the early development of basketball in the USA. The origin of basketball is traditionally credited to James Naismith, a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, who in 1891, invented an indoor game for young men at the School for Christian Workers (later the YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first games of what's now netball were played on a paddock between nine-a-side teams. The rules allowed three bounces, and throws from one end of the field to the other. Baskets were used for goals and after each goal, the ball was tipped out to restart play. Netball was first played in the UK in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College. In the first half of the 20th century, Netball's popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many British Commonwealth countries. There were no standard rules at that time with both nine-a-side and five- a-side versions of the game.

After nine years as a professional netball player, both in Australia and NZ, Courtney transitioned from playing for the Sliver Ferns and Magic, into a dream broadcasting career with SKY TV. It was whilst living in the “Magic House” with her netball teammates that a film crew from SKY Sport came through the player residence to see if a team member would like to do give a house tour. A natural in front of the camera and always up for trying anything once, Courtney volunteered; she hasn’t looked back, as her on-screen career continues to flourish. It was a surprisingly natural progression from mid-court player to side-court reporter for the Australian-born Kiwi, whose journey to the Silver Ferns was very unique. Courtney and her two sisters were raised in Sydney by a pakeha mother and father of Tainui, Ngati Koroki-Kahukura descent, so immersed her Maori heritage that she has always referred to herself as a Kiwi. Courtney took to the netball court at the tender age of seven, where she demonstrated an innate ability for the sport, playing competitively throughout her school years. She was first spotted by Julie Fitzgerald at 14 years old. Courtney went through the Australian Netball pathways, and after winning the Netball World Youth Cup in 2009, Fitzgerald selected Courtney to play with the New South Wales Swifts at age 21.
