On the negative side

• A loss of $19,000 was a disappointing result even in the difficult economic environment.

• Gaming Trust funding was down by over $40,000 - particularly in the support of the representative programme.

• The result shows that we must continue to reduce our reliance on this source of funding by gradually moving more towards a user pays financial model.

• The Chairman recognized the achievements of 2010 and thanked the Board, Management group members, staff and volunteers for their contribution

The report was tabled and received John Sumner/Dianne Robertson

2010 Audited Accounts

Steve Alexander presented the 2010 annual accounts.

It was noted that economic environment made 2010 a difficult year. The move to user pays over the next three years is essential to the longer term viability of basketball in the region.

However the organisation was in a sound financial position and changes already put in place for 2011 will reduce the costs in many areas.

The account were received Steve Alexander/Gerry Sullivan

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

It is with great pleasure that I present the sixth Chairman’s Report for Basketball Hawke’s Bay (BBHB), in what has been another great year of progress for the sport in the Hawke’s Bay region.

2011 Highlights

2011 was an exciting and great year in the development of Basketball Hawke’s Bay activities and operations. Just over two years ago we made a change to our vision and mission placing greater emphasis on the development of the game at grassroots level by working with communities to increase playing numbers and to develop both stronger competitions and skill development activities focused on the needs of the participants.

We have achieved our goals with the help of portable hoops (smaller courts, lower hoops, higher scores, greater satisfaction), after school Hoops clinics and camps, and the development of a group of young referees. We have increase playing numbers and had a positive $50,000 plus financial results allowing us to achieve more and to build planned reserves.

Another positive was the introduction of the BBHB Hall of Fame with Diane Robertson, Kirsten Daly, and Willie Burton being the first inductees. Congratulations to all three. Congratulations to players making NZ teams and HB Representative teams and thank you very much to staff, to volunteers, to coaches and managers, to officials and to all the players.

Thank You for Our Success

Basketball Hawke’s Bay is very grateful to those organisations that partner with us and help fund our programs so that we can provide opportunities for people to participate, enjoy and excel in basketball – especially the youth of Hawke’s Bay. We would like to thank: Endeavour Community Trust, Infinity Foundation Ltd, Pub Charity, Lion Foundation, NZCT, Southern Trust, The Trusts Community Foundation, and Trust House Limited – thank you very much. Also thank you for the gifts donated to BBHB by Jeremy Baylis of the Westshore Inn.

We would like to also thank our supporters and sponsors for their involvement and help they give us to provide our services.

I would like to acknowledge the efforts and hard work of Board members, Gerry Sullivan, Di Robertson, Terry Simkin, Steve Alexander and Bernard Walsh. We believe the Board works very effectively and efficiently. Board members bring a vast array of skills and outside relationships that help keep us professional and moving forward and they give freely of their time.

Paul Trass our General Manager does a great job in making our Board strategies a reality. Over the years this has included sourcing funding for the Regional Development Coach, Operations Manager, and Officials Development Officer positions, the development of competitions at all levels, official training and development and the introduction of grass roots camps and clinics. We applaud the dedication and hard work of Paul and staff. Thank you all very much.

I would like to repeat something I have said many times before. Not only is basketball fun to play and healthy for us but it teaches us things that stay with us forever – such as teamwork, reliance on others, helping others, being the best we can, and of course friendships and special bonds. What we do with basketball in Hawke’s Bay will have lasting effects on many people in our community. There are so many good people doing so many good things with basketball – people like you.

You are great volunteers, giving freely of your time and continuingly demonstrating a willingness to help. By working together and co-operating with each other we will achieve a lot quickly. We will continue to deliver something that we are all proud of long into the future, something that is good for the community and good for Hawke’s Bay children. Thank you all very very much for your time and effort for “the good of basketball”

Yours in basketball,

John Sumner 15 February 2012 Chairman, Basketball Hawke’s Bay

GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT

2011 was another successful year for the development of basketball in the region and the achievement of the objectives of Basketball Hawkes Bay. In Nov 2009 a change was made to our vision and mission to place a greater focus on the development of the game at grassroots level working with communities to develop strong competitions and skill development activities focused on the needs of the participants. Since the change the number of player registrations in games and activities has increased by 150% to over 5000 in 2011. Of particular note is the doubling of Minibasketball player registrations in Napier and Hastings over two year and the dramatic improvement on player skills. Year 3 and 4 players making step back jump shots and playing good match up defence, who would have believed it? Three different but important changes have influenced this positive change in numbers and standards. Firstly the purchase of 20 portable hoops through KiwiSport funding allowed the creation of more courts to cater for the growth and the provision of smaller courts and lower hoops for skill improvement. Supporting this is the increase in average team scores from 7 to 21 from 2009. Secondarily the players involved our Weldwell sponsored after school Hoops club clinics; School Holiday Camps and Westshore Inn sponsored representative programmes have raised the player standard in all aspects of the game. What is even more impressive than the improved individual skill level is the team work and greater understanding of the game. The third element in the success has been the development of a group of young referees by Elliot Hawea and Donnette Daly to officiate the games. Once again the increase in skill levels has placed greater demands on our referees, in 2009 lots of violations had to be let go or the ball would not have progressed over the half. However in 2011 the players, parents and coaches now recognise the errors and want them called. Eight teams represented Hawkes Bay at premiership qualifying tournaments and made Nationals finals with great success. Ben Valentine in his report will thank and name the coaches and managers involved in the programme. I would particularly like to acknowledge and thank the head coaches for the time and effort they put into these teams as this is often overlooked. They plan, manage and run at least two practices a week, most teams played in a weekly local competition, hosted team meetings, attended premierships and nationals and then the BBHB awards. A conservative estimate of the time required is 280 hours or the equivalent of 35 working days (7 weeks) and probably 7 days annual leave. One of our most successful Coaches Willie Burton will not be taking a team in 2012 and will move on to helping Paul Henare at the HBS Bank Hawks. Willie has coached every year for BBHB since its incorporation in 2006. He has taken our young men and developed many of them into great basketballers and just as importantly fine young men. Willie thank you for all your work with our youth, we wish you all the best in your new role. Another big loss this year has been Elliot Hawea moving to Hamilton. Elliot has quietly worked away recruiting and training new referees particularly those still at school. Without Elliot’s foresight the growth we have experienced would not have been possible. Elliot thank you for all your work, you have been essential to our growth and success.

Many Regional Sporting Organisations struggle to provide a stable and on-going environment for the growth and development of the game. On the day of writing this report a Sunday Newspaper article stated that one of our major provincial sporting organisations was selling the silver because it was heavily in debt and did not know where or what it was going to do. Basketball Hawkes Bay is very fortunate because it has a professional board that have developed a clear vision of where basketball should go and what needs to be achieved. The members of the Board work away in the background to ensure the success of basketball in the region. The board has a saying of they are about the “What” not the “How” and this makes it easy because staff can work to achieving the “What” by deciding on the “How” without constant interference but with regular reporting of outcomes. Thank you to our Board Members, Chairman John Sumner (Managing Director of Sumner Ryan), Deputy Chairman Gerry Sullivan (Senior Partner at Solicitors Sainsbury Logan Williams), Dianne Robertson (Account Manager at AON, former Tall Fern Captain, Hawkes Bay and BBHB Hall of Fame), Terry Simkin (Managing Director Simkin Construction), Steve Alexander (Chartered accountant and Principal at WHK Hastings) and Bernard Walsh (CEO of Weldwell NZ) for the great governance you give our organization. Our full time and part time staff members and contractors have produced many outstanding results in 2011. Operations Manager Kath Samia has been the inspiration behind the increase in teams in all grades. Kath has so much energy and inspiration she ensures that things happen and are well run and quality activities. We were so lucky to gain her services from another code. Part of Kath’s role, along with Ginny Trass was to look after the funding, finance and administration functions which have grown to 7.2 times the 2006 output. A Regional Development Coach Job would seem like the ideal place to be for any basketballer. However it does require long and unsociable hours, vigorous conversations with representative team parents and staff, transporting and setting up of portable hoops and equipment and a lot of administration. Benny Valentine however has managed to carry out all these activities to a high standard while at the same time improving the quality and numbers involved in all our skill development programmes. My thanks to Kath, Ben, Ginny and our other part-time staff and contractors for the work you have done that has contributed to the growth and quality of basketball. This year Jeremy Baylis gifted equipment and gear that he had personally purchased when he owned the organisation running the Hawks NBL team. The equipment includes fitness machines that will allow us to set up a training centre in our new building, rebounding machines, luggage trailer, balls and uniforms. Basketball Hawkes Bay has been charged with using, maintaining and replacing these assets for the betterment of basketball in the region. Thank Jeremy for your gift and your continued support of basketball, we appreciate it. I would also like to add my thank you to all our sponsors and the gaming trusts for their support during the year. The cost of venue hire and refereeing makes basketball an expensive game to host and it is only with your support we can keep it affordable. In 2011 a new philosophy for Youth Basketball Development was introduced. Long Team Athlete Development (LTAD) is a model created by Dr. Istvan Balyi to guide the athletic development process from pre-puberty through retirement. Today, parents and coaches rush the development process and use adult training protocols with young players to get a head start.

Parents and coaches in many sports still approach training with an attitude best characterized as ‘ Peaking by Friday ,’ where short-term approach is taken to training and performance with an over-emphasis on immediate results. Studies show that 70% of kids quit organised sports by the age of 13, and very few kids give losing too many games as a reason. If players never achieve a base level of athleticism, their athletic career will end prematurely. The opposite of the Peak by Friday mentality is not an abdication of competitive play or the desire to win. Instead, the LTAD model creates a balanced approach: players play to win, but train to improve. In New Zealand our Maori and Pacific Island kids develop physically at a young age and can dominate the opposition at under 13 and 15 levels with ease. However they often don’t put the work in to develop the basic fundamentals and all around skills. The others catch up and they find their height, strength and quickness advantage has disappeared. Because they have not developed core and all-round skills they drop out of the game. Coaches often sacrifice a player’s future for immediate success. How is a player supposed to improve if his/her coach prohibits them from trying skills that they need to acquire to continue playing? A global approach to player development means training all skills for all players, regardless of size. This means not pigeon-holing a player into a position at a young age. It means using a system which enables all players to use their global skills, rather than sticking the tall girl under the basket. It also means training all skills, not just preparing players for games. To develop into a great player, the player first needs to be a great athlete. The BBHB Development Model will use the following developmental stages to maximize training for each athlete and provide a general guideline for youth coaches. Different styles, approaches and emphases are appropriate in each stage, though a general philosophy of long term development through fun, learning and development remains constant. Within each stage, players train Athletic, Tactical and Technical skills. 1. The Foundation Stage (ages 7-10) builds the athlete’s base through games, play and basic instruction to ensure proper motor skill development. The introduction of a wide array of basketball and athletic skills through fun, active training sessions is more important than winning games. Players shift from a recreational (fun) emphasis to a developmental (learning) emphasis as they join organized teams during this age group. 2. The Fundamental Stage (ages 11-14) emphasizes basketball fundamentals, using the general athletic skills developed through the Foundation Stage to build sport-specific skills. While some players continue to play for fun, most players in organized leagues are developmental athletes and learning continues to take precedence over winning. Progress to full 5v5 games and leagues, but maintain a focus on developing individual and team skills.

3. The Training Stage (ages 15-16) is a transitional stage as developmental athlete’s transition into competitive athletes through higher training intensity and volume. However, this process should not be rushed; being a competitive athlete at an earlier age does not make a player better; in fact, rushing the developmental process almost always results in a player peaking early. Develop strength and fitness during this stage and expand tactical awareness through exposure to more tactical skills and greater

9 of 34

decision-making responsibility.

4. The Competition Stage (ages 17-20) is comprised of competitive athletes and increases the intensity from the Training Stage. Players specialize in one sport and train year-round to improve performance in order to compete and become an elite athlete. Players specialise their skills and positions, fill their role on the team and build the competitive fire. WHAT DOES 2012 BRING In 2012 we can look to even more growth and development although the lack of court space may limit the ability to introduce new programmes. The move into 85 Ford Road will provide a one-stop facility that will allow all equipment and gear to be stored under one roof. It also allows room for a fitness centre, training/meeting room, desk space for all staff and contractors, a basketball HQ. It is planned to build a 3 on 3 court at Ford Road and if you have a in to a concrete or asphalt company that would like to sponsor the playing pad let me know. This will allow the development of FIBA 3 x 3 and give an alternative outdoor area for player development. We will be working with secondary schools to develop senior students as coaches and referees to at primary and intermediate schools. This will include developing interested parents as coaches. Working with the Police and DHB it is planned to take the game to the streets using the portable hoops and help to fight some of our community problems such as obesity, drugs use and violence. We want to use preventative activities to give our youth the best chance of a great life away from Justice, Health and Welfare institutions. The “Hawks in schools” programmes will help schools with team coaching at school and games, and run open coaching sessions for schools at PGA and Hastings Sports Centre Emphasis will be placed on our in-schools coaching programme to get more children introduced to the game. The programme offers a series of athletic, game and big ball skills, usually based around classes, followed by a tournament. Basketball is arguably the world’s most popular community sport but is still in the incubator stage of development in New Zealand. In the next few years the popularity of basketball will explode with Steve Adams a first round draft pick in the NBA and quickly the highest paid New Zealand sportsman, FIBA 3x3 becoming an Olympic sport and SPARC adopting Basketball as a targeted sport. To take advantage of this we must ensure that we continue with strong governance and staff, work with our local authorities to build and develop the necessary but affordable playing venues, and promote the value of sport to politicians and funders to gain equality of funding and facilities with arts, social and health sectors. My thanks to our special people, governance, staff, contactors, volunteers, teachers, club and team organisers, players, participants, parents, funders, supporters and helpers for all you have contributed to Basketball Hawkes Bay.

OPERATIONS MANAGER’S REPORT

From an operational life was very busy in 2011. We have grown considerably in the number of persons playing basketball and frequency of basketball competitions. Growth has come about out of a drive to grow the game at grass roots and been assisted by our coaching in schools programmes, portable basketball hoops and a more customer centric approach to getting kids involved. The increase in playing numbers has placed considerable pressure on our ability to resource referees for all games and developing a bigger pool of referees will be a focus in 2012. Numbers MiniBasketball - leagues ran at three different venues at certain times of the year: Centennial Hall Napier, Pettigrew. Green Arena and Hastings Sports Centre. In term one and four we successfully introduced a Hawke’s Bay Intermediates league. We faced challenges with numbers outgrowing court space and required additional courts at Hastings Boys and/or teams to play until 8pm after school Secondary Schools – Juniors on Mondays grew requiring an additional 4 th court at Lindisfarne College and Seniors on Friday grew requiring an additional 6 th court at Hastings Boys. Adult Leagues – Growth in numbers here and in the number of school teams playing at the same venue required games to tip off as late as 9pm. Senior Junior Sec Total Total Term MiniBasketball Sec Adults School 2011 2010 School 1 69 18 87 40 2 59 30 43 14 146 86 3 95 30 43 22 190 100 4 98 18 116 83 Total 321 30 43 72 539 309

Winners A broad range of schools came out as winners in all our school leagues, showing there is a spread of ‘talent’ across the Bay. At the end of each MiniBasketball term small trophies are awarded with certificates to winning teams and runner up certificates for second place. For Secondary schools we have perpetual trophies and winners and runners up certificates. Adult league winners and runners up receive gift vouchers for discount entry off future competitions. The following schools won competitions in 2011: Bledisloe, Heretaunga Intermediate, Camberley, Irongate, Hastings Boys High School, Lindisfarne College, Hastings Girls High School, Maraenui, Hastings Intermediate, Napier Boys High School, Havelock North High School, Napier Girls High School, Havelock North Intermediate, Peterhead, Havelock North Primary, Porritt, Henry Hill, Port Ahuriri,

Volunteers The only BBNZ tournament hosted in our region in 2011 was the Under 13 National Championships. This week long event in October was held at the Pettigrew Green Arena and the Hastings Sports Centre. BBHB organized and looked after 70 volunteers who worked together to ensure that score bench was provided for all 96 games through the week. I am in gratitude to these people who made the event such a success and am humbled by the depth of help in the Hawke’s Bay Basketball community. Referees As mentioned at the start there was been a big call on referees to officiate all our leagues in 2011. We have worked to develop a development programme and in 2012 have funding and personnel in place to ensure this aspect of the game catches up with the requirements of the growing player numbers. 2011 Referees Aidan Daly Grace Nolan Nicki Livingston Amariah Luki Hale Nepia-Sua Pete Forshaw Andrew Ward Henry Nahora Peter Wilkie Anecia Wilkie Henry Swanzi Jnr Piki Wati Ankit Bisht Horowai Puketapu Raewyn Thomason Apai Apai Ian Martin Rewi Pohatu Aspen Edwards Jaki Smiler Rosalia Samia Ben Hurinui Jaymin Mareikura Sarah Shoaf Bernard Walsh Jos Mataira Shalloe Sadler Bishop Edwards Joseph Shoaf Shane Nikora Brenda Campbell Kaleb Edwards Sheldon Mataira Caleb Edwards Keith Lewis Shevanna Sullivan Casey Te Moananui Kevin Heather Suzie Hiha Cory Pokatea Kiri Nepia-Sua Tamia Edwards Daniel Robinson Laina Samia Tania Broughton Danika Whittington Lee Te Kahika Tayla Ward David Peak (Wang) Logan Nikora Tessa Flowers David Te Au Maia Wati-Cooper Tia Nepia-Sua Dillon Solomon Marcherie Edwards Vanessa Sadler Donnette Daly Marcos Edwards Wayne Start Elliot Hawera Marj Smiler Wilfred Dickson Ethan Ward Mohamed Hashim Willie Burton Evan Ball Nancy Rakete-stones debbie kiwi-clinton Ezra Te Huia Natasha Greville Ramiha Smiler

PLAYER AND COACH DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT GROUP The Player and Coach Development Management Group has done a great job this year, with many long discussions about the direction of junior basketball. Thanks to Di Robertson for chairing this group, and thanks to its members: Shane Brown, Bernard Walsh, Paul Trass and Joe Hitchcock. The Weldwell School Holiday Basketball Camps were very successful throughout the year, with nearly 300 participants across the camps last year. The OSCAR (Out of School Care and Recreation) funding through WINZ has allowed many children to attend camps which they would have otherwise not attended. The Weldwell Junior Hoops after school programme was also very successful, with resurgent growth in the Hastings group, a large group of Napier members, and the establishment of a Flaxmere group as well. 2012 will see Junior Hoops running in five different venues across Hawkes Bay, five night of the week, to extend the OSCAR funding to our After School programmes as well. The in-school coaching programme has evolved from one off sessions in schools to solid, four week courses, which, with the aid of the Long Term Athlete Development model, align within the frameworks of the primary school curriculum. This has become a valuable tool for primary schools, and uptake for 2012 has been positive. Lastly, I would like to thank each and every volunteer coach and manager, parents, caregivers, our staff, the Player and Coach Development Management Group and everybody else who has assisted in creating such a fabulous learning environment for our young players to achieve and succeed in our wonderful yet challenging game, and long may it continue, well into the future.
