  • 2315 Netball New Zealand V
    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2010/A/2315 Netball New Zealand v. International Netball Federation Limited (IFNA), award of 27 May 2011 Panel: Judge Conny Jörneklint (Sweden), President; Mr Malcolm Holmes QC (Australia); The Hon. Michael Beloff QC (United Kingdom) Netball Eligibility of a player Notion of decision Time limit for appeal: absence of extension of a time limit by a request for reconsideration Principles applicable to the exhaustion of the legal remedies and to limitation periods 1. What constitutes a decision is a question of substance not form. A decision must be intended to affect the legal rights of a person, usually, if not always, the addressee. A decision is to be distinguished from the mere provision of information. 2. One cannot be permitted simply to resurrect an option (i.e. to appeal) open to it, but not pursued, at an earlier date since this would frustrate the policy of Article R49 of the CAS Code. The refusal to reconsider a decision duly taken cannot further affect the addressees of the decision legal rights. In this regard, a request for reconsideration does not amount to an appeal and cannot extend a time limit. Likewise, refusal to reconsider cannot restart the limitation clock running. 3. According to article R47 of the CAS Code, where the regulations of the decision maker specify a process of reconsideration by a first instance body or appeal to a second instance one, it is necessary for an aggrieved person to exhaust those domestic remedies; and it follows that time does not run against him until he has done so.

  • Year 9 & 10 Season Starter Programme Resource
    Year 9 & 10 Season Starter Programme Resource 2 YEAR 9 & 10 SEASON STARTER PROGRAMME RESOURCE The aim of the Netball New Zealand’s Year 9 & 10 Season Starter Resource is to provide a foundation to be used within secondary schools and at Centre level to enhance participation, skill level and development. The target time for schools and centres to implement this resource is prior to trials or at the beginning of the season once teams are first named. PHYSICALLY, CAPABLE, COMPETENT MOVERS Netball players within Year 9 & 10 are made up of individuals with a particularly wide range of abilities, body shapes, personalities and stages of growth, all of which are changing and developing at different rates. These factors combined with Netball’s high intensity, repetitive stop, start, and jump movements means that coaches of all levels must ensure that players are actively working on fundamental Netball movements each practice. This will maximise players physical development and movement capabilities so they can extend their skills, game play capabilities and reduce the chance of serious injury meaning they can fully enjoy the season ahead and ultimately a lifelong involvement in Netball. Fuji Xerox NZ are proud to continue their partnership with Netball NZ, supporting Secondary School students to be active and have a positive experience with netball. YEAR 9 & 10 SEASON STARTER PROGRAMME RESOURCE 3 Purpose of the Year 9 & 10 Season Starter Programme • “To develop physically, capable, competent movers” • “To provide more opportunities for players to further develop and extend their technical, tactical and physical development skills while also encouraging the game awareness • “Support the transition from Year 8 into Year 9 and provide a quality experience to students in their first year of secondary school” • “To provide opportunities for student coaches and student umpires” A good coach understands that in our team we have kids that want to pull on a Ferns dress and other kids that just want to hang with their mates, but we all want to get better and have fun.

  • 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.
