Yvonne and I are working on EN’s bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for money that will allow us to employ someone to undertake the huge job of cataloguing the archives held centrally here at Netball House. We anticipate that the project will last up to three years as we are planning a couple of exhibitions and oral history element to our bid. In December, I went to Dartford in Kent to see what Joan Mills, Cathy Hickey and their team had done with Kent’s archives, are now housed within the Bergman-Osterberg museum. The day was most informative and it was good to speak to the museum curator about the storage and display of the archives.

  • Athlete Allocation System
    Principles Athlete Allocation System Preamble The Commonwealth Games Federation’s (CGF’s) strategic plan ‘Transformation 2022’ is a blueprint which puts athletes at the heart of ambitions for growth and innovation. The strategic plan recognises the rapidly-changing landscape of international sport as we continue to develop the world-class sporting stage that is the Commonwealth Games. Transformation 2022 broadens the CGF’s focus from the four‐year operating cycle of the Games itself to a more far‐reaching role as a global movement focused on partnerships, engagement and value generation that unites athletes, citizens and communities. Transformation 2022 has four strategic objectives: 1. Inspiring and Innovative Games; 2. Good Governance and Management; 3. Strong Partnerships; and 4. A Valued Brand. Complementing Transformation 2022, the updated vision of the CGF is ‘building peaceful, sustainable and prosperous communities globally by inspiring Commonwealth Athletes to drive the impact and ambition of all Commonwealth Citizens through Sport’. Through Transformation 2022, the CGF has had a revitalised approach to the Sport strategy including: 1. A newly‐approved programme of compulsory and optional sports; 2. An agreement to establish a ‘recognised’ designation for those International Federations developing activities within the Commonwealth; and 3. The endorsement of a sports‐quota system to be implemented at the Durban 2022 Commonwealth Games for the first time. To achieve these strategic goals, a hybrid and transitional model has been agreed for introduction at the next edition of the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast in 2018 (GC2018). Consequently, the participation of athletes for a select number of sports will be administered through qualification criteria while the remaining sports on the programme will be managed via the existing ‘open-entry’ process.

  • 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.

    Courtney Tairi Height 5'10.5" Bust 33.5" Waist 28.5" Hips 33.5" Dress 8 US Shoe 9 US Hair Brunette Instagram As the saying goes, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity,” and it’s a concept that quite neatly sums up former Silver Fern Courtney Tairi’s career path to date. 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.

  • Sport History
    Coomera Indoor Sports Netball Centre (CSC) Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCE) Sport History Netball Origins and the sport today: Derived from early versions of basketball, netball began in England in the 1890s. By the start of the 20th century, the first set of rules were published and the game’s popularity began to grow as it was played in many British Commonwealth countries. In 1960, representatives from England, Australia, NZ and South Africa established the International Federation of Women’s Basketball and Netball – now known as the International Netball Federation (INF). However, it wasn’t until 1970 that Australia and New Zealand adopted the name netball, as they previously called it women’s basketball. The first World Netball Championship took place in Eastbourne, England, in 1963 and has been played every four years. The tournament was renamed Netball World Cup in 2015. Netball at the Commonwealth Games: Netball is one of 10 core sports at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it has to be included on the program. The other nine are aquatics (diving and swimming), athletics, badminton, boxing, hockey, lawn bowls, rugby sevens, squash and weightlifting. Netball is a women-only sport and first appeared at the Commonwealth Games at Kuala Lumpur 1998. Australia and New Zealand have dominated the dais, with three gold and two gold respectively. England and Jamaica have won bronze medals, but are still to make a final. With the exception of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games final, won by Australia 58-40, the battle for gold between Australia and New Zealand has generally been a close one.
