United States of America Netball Association Inaugural Meeting, May 23, 1992. Netball has been played in the United States since the 1970s, starting primarily in the New York area. The inaugural meeting of the USA Netball Association took place in New York on May 23, 1992, and was chaired by the President of the Bronx Netball Association, Dr. Yvonne Thomas. Representatives of the Bronx Netball Association, Florida Netball Association, American Netball Association of New York State, Texas Netball Association, Massachusetts State Netball League and Connecticut were present. They acknowledged this was an important milestone in the history of Netball in the United States, and the national association was officially launched with the acronym USANA (now USA Netball). The International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA) (now International Netball Federation) recognized the importance of this meeting and was there to offer their guidance and assistance in the Association’s formation. They included: Mrs. Pat Taylor, the then president of IFNA (now INF), Mrs. Lystra Lewis, the then AFNA president, and Ms. Dorothy McHugh, the then secretary of IFNA (now INF). At the end of the meeting, the various factions joined together to accomplish what first appeared to be the impossible: the formation of a United States of America Netball Association with 43 clubs and 7 Area associations comprising its nucleus. An executive committee was created and charged with taking the first tentative steps of a new association. Presidents over the years have been Dr. Yvonne Thomas 1992 - 1994 Ms. Jackie Shaw 1994 - 1996 Ms. Lorraine Pierre 1996 - 1998 Ms. Pat Gray 1998 - 2000 Ms. Ava Foster 2000 - 2002 Ms. Sonya Rodney 2002 - 2004 Rev.

Established October 1895 PM stresses safety first PAGE 3 Wednesday May 27, 2020 $1 VAT Inclusive Fortress: Good time to invest By André Springer THE toll that the COVID-19 crisis has taken on economies and companies has been high, but low market prices make the conditions prime for long-term investment. Roger Cave, Investment Director of Fortress Fund Managers Limited, explained to the media during the quar- terly Lunch and Learn with Fortress Fund Managers that despite the uncer- tainty caused by the pandemic, investors have been investing more into the fund, though some have opted to redeem. “We have seen more investors coming into the funds than we have seen re- demptions. Obviously, a few people have needed their money and they have been able to get it and we have redeemed directly into their bank accounts,” said Cave. Chief Investment Officer (CIO) for Fortress, Peter Arender, also stated that it has been good to see the way in which investors stepped forward. MASKED UP: Barbados is slowly starting to see some normalcy return to various aspects of daily life, although “It has been gratifying to see the extent citizens must now adhere to certain health guidelines designed to protect against the spread of the COVID-19 virus. which, when the assets in our portfolio Pictured here, this family made sure they followed the guidelines related to wearing face masks out in public. have gone on sale, our investors on bal- ance have been looking to add money to their investments,” he stated. Arender went on to explain that the move by the investors was in keeping with the psychology that was encouraged by Fortress, and that good long-term outcomes were about staying the course.

We exist to enable girls and women to reach their potential in sport and life. Letter from the CEO The Women’s Sports Foundation is the ally, advocate, and catalyst for tomorrow’s leaders. We exist to enable girls and women to reach their potential in sport and life. Founded by tennis legend and social justice icon Billie Jean King in 1974, the Women’s Sports Foundation (WSF) is a champion of leadership and change. We are building a future where every girl and every woman has the opportunity to participate in sport and realize her power and potential. We are building a movement — inspiring confidence, persistence and leadership so the next generation can thrive. The WSF is committed to ensuring that all girls and women have equal access to physical activity and sport and the lifelong benefits that accrue. The WSF is especially focused on improving opportunity for girls in underserved communities, particularly girls of color who are doubly hit by gender and race and face complex and intersecting challenges. Glaring disparities in resources and opportunities persist. To meet these pressing needs, the WSF always has its ear to the ground, working closely with program leaders, coaches, parents and girls, to inform its work. Five years ago, with generous support from founding partner espnW, the WSF launched Sports 4 Life, a national program that provides grants, technical assistance and training to community-based organizations throughout the country that serve predominantly African American and Hispanic girls.

International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 18, Issue 1, 2019 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.2478/ijcss-2019-0004 Discovering patterns of play in netball with network motifs and association rules Browne, P.1,2, Morgan, S.3, Bahnisch, J. 2, Robertson, S.1 1 Institute for Health and Sport (IHES), Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia 2Victorian Institute of Sport, Melbourne, Australia 3Department of Computer Science and Information Technology, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Abstract In netball, analysis of the movement of players and the ball across different court locations can provide information about trends otherwise hidden. This study aimed to develop a method to discover latent passing patterns in women’s netball. Data for both pass location and playing position were collected from centre passes during selected games in the 2016 Trans-Tasman Netball Championship season and 2017 Australian National Netball League. A motif analysis was used to characterise passing-sequence observations. This revealed that the most frequent, sequential passing style from a centre pass was the “ABCD” motif in an alphabetical system, or in a positional system “Centre–Goal Attack–Wing Attack–Goal Shooter” and rarely was the ball passed back to the player it was received from. An association rule mining was used to identify frequent ball movement sequences from a centre pass play. The most confident rule flowed down the right-hand side of the court, however seven of the ten most confident rules demonstrated a preference for ball movement down the left-hand side of the court. These results can offer objective insight into passing sequences, and potentially inform team strategy and tactics.
