MD WON Plan Feb 2015 11March 3.Pdf 1 Introducing the Whole of Netball Plan On behalf of Netball New Zealand (NNZ), we are delighted to present the Whole of Netball Plan (WON Plan), a comprehensive document outlining the wider plan for the whole of Netball in New Zealand for the next five years. This integrated national plan for the development of Netball is fundamentally important if we are to succeed at all levels of our game. The WON Plan highlights the shared outcomes for Netball, clarity on how we measure success, while ensuring we have a consistent set of national strategies and prioritising national projects to guide investment into Netball. The aim is for NNZ, the five Netball Zones and 85 Netball Centres to be able to align their strategic and operating plans to enable the delivery of the WON Plan. We expect to refresh the priority initiatives and projects throughout the five years. Four key pillars of the WON Plan have been identified; GROW – participation and lifelong involvement, CONNECT – more New Zealanders to the passion and excitement of Netball, WIN – be the best in world Netball, SUSTAIN – our game through a strong Netball system; people, finances, organisations. With the WON Plan in place, New Zealanders will live this game as they have never lived it before. So, welcome to the WON Plan…a new era for Netball in New Zealand!

The benefits of having a WON Plan are to: Have shared outcomes for the sport Be clear on how we measure success Have a consistent set of national strategies Prioritise national projects that will guide investment into the sport. To maximise the quality of Netball experiences, we need to consider the delivery of Netball through one system in New Zealand. The reorganisation of regional capability during 2011/12, which reduced 17 regional and franchise organisations into five Zones, was a bold step to further refine our system. With the Zone structure now in place, it is the right time to develop one integrated national plan for the advancement of the game in New Zealand. The organisations in the Netball system – in particular NNZ, the five Zones and 85 Netball Centres – will be able to align their strategic and operating plans to enable the delivery of the WON Plan, ensuring cohesive development of the game. This plan has a five-year horizon. We envisage the outcomes, measures of success and strategies to remain constant during this time, but expect to refresh the priority initiatives and projects along the way. We would like to thank those who have contributed to the development of the WON Plan: Netball Centres Current and past players Netball Zones – Boards and staff NNZ Youth Advisory Group (YAG) Independent Advisory Group – Colin Stone, Sport Hawke’s Bay; Kereyn Smith, New Zealand Olympic Committee; Rodger Thompson, Sport NZ; Gaye Bryham, AUT University; Sharon Rimmer, Auckland Council; Nicole Lloyd, NNZ Youth Advisory Group Regional Sports Trusts Sport New Zealand NNZ Board and staff 1 1.2 The Importance and Role of Netball in New Zealand Netball is an integral part of the dynamic sporting culture of New Zealand. It is steeped in history, with its introduction to New Zealand as ‘women’s basketball’ in 1906 and the first representative game was played in 1923 between Canterbury and Wellington. Netball is unique in that it is predominantly a women’s sport played here in New Zealand and around the world. Netball has played a leading role in the development of girls and women throughout New Zealand, through their experiences of participating in the sport as players, coaches, officials, administrators, committee and Board members. Netball produces significant role models whose integrity, honesty, athleticism, hard work and humble values have inspired many to participate in or contribute to the game. This has had a flow-on effect in building the high regard with which Netball is held in the wider community. Netball Centres, clubs and schools play a valuable role in their communities as hubs of social, physical and cultural interaction, where people from all backgrounds and ethnicities, regardless of economic status, can safely participate in sport, have enjoyable experiences and form long-lasting relationships. The presence of Netball in nearly every female and co-ed school in New Zealand, and the simplicity of equipment required to play the game – just a ball, hoop and a flat surface – makes Netball the most accessible sport for girls in New Zealand. The strength of Netball ‘DNA’ in schools is a defining characteristic. It is one of a handful of sports with high participation rates by Maori and Pacific Island girls, making it an important contributor to the well-being of these communities. Netball has a strong participation rate in all schools, but in particularly dominant as the sport of choice in low and medium decile schools (decile ranking 1-6) and rural based schools. The core strength of Netball and its success is the phenomenal voluntary effort which goes into running and governing the sport. The game is family friendly, particularly for women and mothers in the club and Centre environment and at events. The ‘can do/make do’, ‘getting on with it’ culture and ethos which prevails through Netball, combined with individual and collective passion and love for the game, keeps Netball operating week in and week out in a sustainable way at the grassroots level. This has positively impacted the lives of generations of girls and women who have freely and actively given back to the sport. 2 2 Plan Overview 2.1 Our Purpose ‘Quality Netball Experiences’ Quality Netball experiences are the fundamental driver of attracting and retaining participants in Netball, and building New Zealanders’ interest in, and following of, Netball. We are committed to working collaboratively in one Netball system, to provide quality and consistent Netball experiences for all participants: players, coaches, officials, administrators, volunteers, fans and our Netball audience. Plan Outcomes The WON Plan has been developed around achieving four outcomes: Grow Participation and lifelong involvement Win Be the best in world Netball Connect More New Zealanders to the passion and excitement of Netball Sustain Netball, through a strong Netball system – people, finances and organisations 2.2 Principles of the Plan Five key principles have guided the development of this plan: 1. Participants are at the heart of everything we do – Improving the quality of the Netball experience for participants is at the heart of our plan. 2. We are market driven, responding to the changing needs and diversity of New Zealand – Our Netball programmes, competitions and events and our delivery of them is responsive to the changing profiles and needs of our target markets. 3. We consider Netball as one system – Netball is delivered through one integrated system, with clarity of roles and responsibilities (for all organisations and individuals) within this system. 4. We prioritise – Projects are prioritised and resources are allocated accordingly to enable substantive progress with national priorities. 5. We are transparent and accountable – we will monitor and report on our progress against our targeted outcomes, and priority projects. 2.3 What Does Success Look Like? If Netball delivers successfully on this plan then: Participation will grow year-on-year, through both retention and attraction of new participants. We will consistently offer targeted, appealing, accessible, quality experiences for all participants. 3 Netball will be thriving in our communities and will continue to be a positive contributor to people’s lives. Our Netball volunteers will be recognised, celebrated, feel valued, respected and well informed.

    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.

  • Mainland Matters – October 2015
    Mainland Matters – October 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Firstly a big thank you to everyone from our Centre’s across the Zone for participating in our recent Zone Forum. There was lots of good discussion, plans and feedback for 2016. We have sent all the presentations and notes out to Centre’s, and look forward to working with you all in the future. It was also very cool to welcome the Silver Ferns to train at Netball Mainland’s home at Apollo prior to their Constellation Cup game in Christchurch on 20 October. With the Silver Ferns in town it afforded a group of local coaches the opportunity to attend a training game and observe coach, Waimarama Taumaunu leading her charges. The informal coach observation opportunity was coordinated by Netball Mainland Coach Development Manager Jen Hooper. There were 30 spaces available to coaches to attend and these spaces filled up within four days. All the coaches were Community Award coaches or above, so either sitting at that level or on the Performance Coach Pathway. Michael Bradley Photography They make big investments in their own education, and in turn © put the development back into their players. This year we’ve had 70 coaches across our 18 Centres complete their Community Coach Award and we’ve had something like 600 coaches through developing modules. In conjunction with the Test, Netball Mainland also had 50 coaches attend ‘An Evening with…’, another informal coaching opportunity for Mainland coaches presented by Leigh Gibbs, Sue Hawkins and Mandy Nottingham. The session, based on the successful series run by the Zone during the ANZ Championship season, looked at the preparation Michael Bradley Photography and planning that goes into a Test Match.
