velopment and growth were the key
driving forces in 2009 as Netball
within New Zealand and abroad
progressed to the next level in the continuously
expanding era of our sport.
Netball New Zealand (NNZ) introduced it’s
new exciting Strategic Plan which will take the
sport of Netball to a new dimension over the
next four years.
Off the back of a fantastic first year, the ANZ
Championship once again provided New Zealand
and Australian Netball fans with week-in, week-out
displays of exciting high-calibre Netball.
A new look Silver Ferns team competed in 11
international tests in what was a challenging yet
encouraging season. New on-court combinations
were linked and a strong squad of determined
players strive towards a place in the 2010
Commonwealth Games and 2011 World Netball
Championship teams.
Other highlights included the Silver Ferns
winning the inaugural FastNet World Netball
Series in Manchester. The NZU21 team won silver
at the 2009 World Youth Netball Championships
held in the Cook Islands and the NZ Secondary
School Team won gold at the Trans-Tasman
Secondary Schools Tournament.
Auckland Waitakere teams dominated the
Regional competitions, winning both first and
second grade at the Perry Foundation National
Netball Champs, winning the NZ Age Group
U17 Netball Championships in Wellington and
also taking out the NZ Age Group U19 Netball
Championships in Auckland. The NZ Age Group
U21 Netball Championships title was won by
Western who beat a determined Waikato team
in the final.
Corporate support from all sponsors and
partners has been phenomenal and has
enabled the production of high-quality events
throughout the nation. Netball New Zealand’s
Elite Sponsor, New World, has embraced all
aspects of Netball and is constantly going
above and beyond to endorse Netball at Centre,
Regional and National levels.
Thanks to the Netball community – players,
volunteers, officials, media and fans who have all
assisted in continuing to grow Netball’s profile
and, in turn, maintained player numbers at a high
level across all 12 Regions.
NNZ is proud to share with you the 2009
Annual Report. 4

livery and implementation of Netball
New Zealand’s Strategic Plan and
Vision, presented at Council early in
2009, was at the forefront of another busy and
challenging year for the Board.
From a high-level strategic perspective,
the key focus for the Board has been Netball’s
structures. We have started examining how
Netball works from Board through to Centre
level, where all the relationships fit and whether
or not they’re working effectively to deliver the
sport at its optimum.
To help define what these structures should
look like, Regions and Centres have agreed to take
part in the information-gathering process. They
will be strongly involved in the SPARC-supported
Organisational Development Tool exercise which
will help assess our capabilities at all levels, from
NNZ to Regions, Franchises and Centres.
What we have planned to do is get our
groundwork right so that we can use factual
information on which to make our decisions. With the emphasis on a thorough and wellinformed review, the task at hand is a large one. The process is ongoing with more definitive
outcomes to be known by about mid-2010.
I would like to thank the Chairs, Regional
Managers and Franchise CEOs across the Netball
6
Community, who have given their time to engage
with NNZ throughout the year. The opportunity
to meet face to face on a number of occasions
and get an understanding of their issues has
been invaluable.
In terms of the quality of the game, where it
is going and the numbers involved, Netball is in a
strong state of health. From the grassroots level,
where there is strong support between NNZ and
SPARC, Netball’s participation figures continue
to show growth.
In coverage terms, Netball enjoyed
unprecedented popularity in 2009. On freeto-air viewing, via ONE Sport on Television
New Zealand, all 11 tests played by the Silver
Ferns in 2009 were screened, the most ever
outside a Commonwealth Games or World
Championship year.
The Perry Foundation National Netball
Champs continues to grow and establish itself as
an important component in the elite pathway.
SKY Sport once again screened all 69 ANZ
Championship matches across the 17-week
competition live. We are thrilled with the growing
response generated by the ANZ Championship
where viewing figures across New Zealand and
Australia jumped by 52 percent in 2009. However, because it is in its infancy, we are
all still learning about the ANZ Championship.
The teams are learning about the competition,
how to deliver it and how to play consistently
at an intense level while those responsible for
the management of the ANZ Championship are
learning about how to keep it sustainable and
positive for everybody who participates.
The public success of the ANZ Championship
does not diminish the behind-the-scenes effort
that goes into operating a Franchise. It remains a
tough business to be in because of the economic
climate. The exceptional level of commitment
delivered by those running the Franchises
remains the catalyst behind the quality of
Netball we watch on a weekly basis throughout a
demanding season.
I would like to thank outgoing TTNL Board
Chair Noeleen Dix for her leadership during the
tough set-up phase of the jump into the semiprofessional era via the ANZ Championship.
Noeleen has done a great job during her twoyear term and, as I assume the role of Chair, I
look forward to continuing the growth of this
outstanding competition.
FastNet, the World Netball Series, a new
concept for a shortened version of the sport,
launched by the International Federation of
Netball Associations (IFNA) in Manchester in
October, was a great initiative.
Anything that profiles Netball on the
international stage and that involves teams
beyond New Zealand and Australia has got to
be good for the game and good for us.
IFNA is to be applauded for the initiative of
adding another world event, with a difference, to
the international calendar. Netball New Zealand
is keen to continue to explore the variables
associated with the concept as an opportunity
for developing the game.
I would like to acknowledge IFNA vicepresident Kereyn Smith, who continues to put
in a huge effort towards the betterment of the
game at international level. Kereyn has made
great inroads with the establishment of the
committee structure within IFNA. We thank
Kereyn for her drive and continued efforts
to help develop the game globally and the
initiatives that come with it. Chief Executive Raelene Castle has
continued to do a tremendous job in building
a strong rapport with the wider Netball
community and introducing initiatives which
involve and promote a broad sector of that
community. Raelene also continued to grow
the commercial side of the business securing
some very important new sponsor partners
which means the sport can continue to invest
in growing the game.
A positive and open relationship continues
to grow between NNZ and SPARC at all levels.
Raelene is to be acknowledged for the time
and huge effort she has put in at SPARC and at
ministerial level to make sure that Netball has a
voice.
There is no doubt the NNZ staff would be
the envy of any Netball organisation around the
world, in terms of their abilities across the board.
The quality of what they produce at every level
is of the highest standard. Their dedication, hard
work and professionalism are
to be commended.
Silver Ferns coach Ruth Aitken, assistant
coach Waimarama Taumaunu and the Silver
Ferns continue to do us proud. It was a mixed
year in terms of results but there are bigger
goals they were working towards with the
Commonwealth Games next year and the World
Championships in 2011. As part of a planned
development of the team, they tried some new
things during their 11-test campaign this year.
governance
• Netball New Zealand’s governance reflects the culture set by the Board on behalf of
stakeholders. It encompasses the organisation’s decision-making structures and mechanisms
to manage the organisation.
• Netball New Zealand’s practices comply with the statutory and other external requirements
and aim to achieve sound administrative and financial management. They are designed to
ensure efficient, effective and ethical use of NNZ's resources.
• The Board continues to monitor best practice recommendations and developments as they
occur to ensure that governance is consistent with international best practice.
• The Board currently comprises of seven Board Members and one Executive. Of the Board
Members, four are appointed and three are elected. A clear separation is maintained between
the responsibilities of the President (who acts in an ambassadorial capacity) and the
responsibilities of the Chair (who is concerned with the running of the Board and the executive
management who are responsible for the running of NNZ).
• During the 2008 financial year, the Board met 12 times. The Finance and Audit Committee
met four times.
• The disclosure of existing interests is an ongoing responsibility of each Board Member. Where
a conflict of interest arises (or where a potential conflict of interest may arise), each Board
Member must formally advise the organisation about any matter relating to that conflict
(or potential conflict) of interest.

They took some risks in looking for the longerterm benefit which was their goal for the year.
From a Board perspective we are very happy
with what they have delivered.
We continue to admire the Silver Ferns
for the sheer determination they show, their
sportsmanship and their ability to retain their
sense of humour. I would like to pay tribute to
retired Silver Ferns captain Julie Seymour who
has been an invaluable part of the Silver Ferns
team over the years and also welcome aboard
Casey Williams as our new Silver Ferns captain.
I would like to thank Noeline Ward for her five
years of contribution to the Netball New Zealand
Board and, in particular, as the Oceania delegate.
We welcome Shirley Hooper as a new Board
Member and look forward to her participation at
this level.
David Jackson, who came to us off the back
of the 2007 World Netball Championships,
has been a delight to have on the Board.
David has made a strong contribution through
his commercial business background but
unfortunately had to resign this year because of
relocating to Australia with his work.
However, there has been a silver lining in
being able to replace him with an equally astute
businessman, John Bongard. We welcome John,
who is not unfamiliar with Netball, as former
chief executive of long-time NNZ sponsor Fisher
& Paykel.
In one of my personal highlights of the
year, I was delighted to attend Dame Lois
Muir’s investiture in Dunedin. It was a fantastic
celebration for a most deserving person who
was honoured in front of a gathering of some
of the people who have played pivotal roles in
her great Netball journey. To be in a room full
of people who could not have been more proud
of Lois, was a special moment and I felt very
privileged to have been invited.
So, in conclusion, it has been another big year
for Netball; we don’t have little years in Netball.
Consolidation is not a word we use, we are
always looking forward and we will also continue
to push ourselves to be the very best we can be.

tball’s increased profile, it's growing
participation figures and the increased
respect for elite Netball from a wider
group of fans made 2009 an excellent year.
This year saw the first 12 months of Netball New
Zealand’s Strategic Plan. New initiatives to note in
the areas of High Performance alignment, Courts
and Facilities and the Netball Delivery Model were
begun and will allow us to deliver on these aspects
of the Strategic Plan over the next four years.
Another significant piece of work was the
launch of the new NNZ website MyNetball.
MyNetball allows us a more sophisticated
engagement with our Netball fans and our
wider Netball community. It also enabled our
sponsors to have better lines of communication
with our fan base.
The Silver Ferns faced a long and challenging
test and touring schedule, with the emphasis on
building a strong foundation, they had a strong
year. There was excellent progress towards
making sure all the ‘building blocks’ are in place
ahead of delivering the optimum performance at
next year’s Commonwealth Games.
The Silver Ferns produced some excellent
performances in front of sell-out crowds in
the five test matches played throughout New
Zealand. It is always very satisfying for NNZ
to see the fans have such a fantastic close
encounter with the Silver Ferns. The Silver Ferns
really enjoy that personal engagement with
the public, including the traditional autograph
signings after the games; this is an integral part
of the team keeping in touch with their fan base.
All of these matches were screened live
on ONE Sport and drew outstanding viewing
audience numbers. Our continued excellent
relationship with ONE Sport allowed us to
present a new look and feel to the viewing public
which extended our growing engagement with
increasing numbers of viewers.
The demanding season of 11 test matches and
the World Netball Series, tested the resilience of
the players and the coaching staff but we believe
this was the best possible preparation moving
into another tough year in 2010.
I continue to be proud to have Ruth Aitken
as our coach and would like to thank her for
the professional manner in which she handles
all aspects of Netball. Ruth works tirelessly for
the promotion of Netball and always presents a
calm, personable demeanour. Congratulations
to Casey Williams in her first year as Silver Ferns
captain; it was an excellent debut year. Her
playing style allows her to lead from the front,
show excellent leadership on court and, after a
great start, I can continue to see the opportunity
for Casey to grow and develop in this role.
Casey collected the baton from another
outstanding international player and captain in
Julie Seymour. The ultimate professional both on
and off the court, she will be missed by the Silver
Ferns but, as one of the longest-serving Silver
Ferns, she is a true legend of our game.
It was a personal highlight for me to be able
to award Irene van Dyk her 100th test cap in
front of an 8,000-strong crowd at Vector Arena.
Most of that crowd stayed on after the match to
see the presentation to Irene and her thank-you
speech brought a tear to many. She continues to
show what an outstanding New Zealander she is.
This year we also had a new innovation on the
international calendar with the World Netball
Series of FastNet, a new form of the game
designed to complete a tournament in three
days and introduce some innovative new rules.
This is a new concept for international Netball
and a chance to develop a slightly different style
of game and, potentially, a slightly different style
of athlete who will be able to compete on the
international stage.
The tournament, held in Manchester, was
hugely successful with good crowds attending.
New Zealand audiences were able to keep
up with the action and watch the Silver Ferns
9
win the inaugural competition courtesy of live
screenings of all the games by ONE Sport.
After a slow start, the Silver Ferns showed
complete composure on the final day to beat
Australia convincingly in the semi-finals and
Jamaica in a hard-fought final. It was great to
see Netball New Zealand bring home the 12kg
trophy, which required me to buy a suitcase and
ask Air New Zealand for special dispensation to
get it home.
While attending the World Netball Series,
there was a chance for the CEOs of the six
countries competing – Australia, New Zealand,
England, Jamaica, Malawi and Samoa – to meet
and discuss the future opportunities for Netball
on the world stage.
The meetings with the President, Vicepresident and CEO of IFNA (International
Federation of Netball Associations) proved
valuable and have meant there is now an
international calendar confirmed for two years.
It is clear recognition of a closer working
relationship between the top six nations.
One of the positives to emerge from the
international season was real evidence of a
much more competitive level between the
top four countries in the world. Jamaica and
England are quickly closing the gap on New
Zealand and Australia, from an international
Netball and commercial perspective, that is a
great story. The Silver Ferns are working hard to
10
ensure that while those close matches are great
entertainment, they still come out on top.
The ANZ Championship built on the platform
laid in 2008 to produce another successful
competition this year. Television and live
audiences showed heartening growth in 2009
with the Australian sporting fan base starting
to adopt Netball with the same passion and
enthusiasm that the New Zealand market has.
Anthony Everard, the new General Manager
of the ANZ Championship, did a fantastic job
in developing the competition in his first
12 months in the role. We would like to thank
him and we appreciate the seamless working
relationship fostered between the NNZ and ANZ
Championship staff in delivering a quality product.
The New Zealand teams performed creditably
in a competition that couldn’t have been any
more even as Australian teams finished one, three,
five, seven and nine and New Zealand teams two,
four, six, eight and ten. While it was disappointing
that a New Zealand team didn’t make the final,
we certainly have high hopes a New Zealand team
will win the competition in 2010.
We are confident the competition will
continue to prosper and grow heading into its
third season and will become critical viewing for
the sporting public in 2010.
At a domestic level, the Perry Foundation
National Netball Champs continued in their new
format. The Champs successfully continue to
provide players the opportunity to represent
their Regions, experiencing the home and away
clashes in the round-robin stages in front of
local crowds.
The three days of the finals weekend were
a resounding success with Auckland Waitakere
showing they were the best side when it came to
the business end of the season.
The Perry Foundation National Champs
recognise the great achievement they offer
players in reaching Regional representation.
This is significant not only for the Netball career
pathways they present but also the impact they
have on individuals at community level.
We also moved the NZU19 and NZU21
National Age Group Championships indoors
for the first time this year which had a definite
impact on the quality of the netball. Moving
indoors also replicates, more closely, the Perry
Foundation National Netball Champs in which
these girls will be competing over the coming
years. This is an innovation we would like to
see continued because we believe it presents
the game in the best possible way for our
players of the future. It is a significant financial
investment for Netball New Zealand to move
these championships indoors but we do believe
it is important for the presentation of the game
and the quality of play.
NNZ offered a new National U17 competition
in 2009 which enabled a fresh group of players
to represent their Regions or Centres. This was
a hugely successful tournament during which
legendary coach Dame Lois Muir said she had
spied lots of up-and-coming talent. We look
forward to seeing that talent developing over the
coming years.
The NZU21 team travelled to the Cook
Islands to compete in the World Youth Netball
Championships. An outstanding group of young
women, the team wore the silver fern with
immense pride and represented NNZ and their
country with great honour. They beat Jamaica
in the semi-finals in what many believed was an
upset, with their opponents including the 1.96m
Romelda Aiken at goalshoot.
The Australian U21’s presented a tough
challenge in the final but the NZU21s put up a
fantastic fight and if it had not been for a bad
first quarter, the game would have been much
closer. This competition really does give athletes
an early experience of what competing in a
World Netball Champs would be like and already
eight of the team have been picked up by ANZ
Championship squads for the 2010 season.
I would like to thank Yvette McCauslandDurie and Janine Southby for all the hard work
they put in to developing the team and the
three players from the U21 squad – Camilla Lees,
Charlotte Kight and Grace Rasmussen – who
were selected as training partners for the Silver
Ferns team to tour the UK and Jamaica.
The financial performance of NNZ has been
strong again in 2009 and continues to build year
on year. The opportunities to package the sport
in innovative ways and to meet sponsors’ return
on investment requirements has continued to
allow Netball to grow its sponsor family.
11
The growth of commercial partnerships was
enhanced this year with McCain coming on
board as a new Gold Sponsor of the Silver Ferns
and launching the new playing dress with adidas,
which received lots of positive feedback from
both the players and fans alike.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank
all our major sponsors, especially New World,
which continues to be an outstanding elite
partner. Thanks also go to Fisher & Paykel, who
have maintained their long-running support of
Netball at all levels.
Netball New Zealand has also taken its
Strategic Partnership with SPARC to new levels. It
is now a fully integrated relationship, and SPARC
continues to work closely with us in the areas of
High Performance and Sport Development.
I would like to thank the NNZ Board. They
have offered fantastic strategic support to me,
and especially to Chair Raewyn Lovett. We have
an outstanding working relationship and her
support has been invaluable.
In finishing, I would like to thank the wider
Netball community for their continued hard work
whether they be umpires, coaches or volunteers.
They do make this sport really special in New
Zealand and Netball would not happen in 91
Netball Centres around the country without the
dedication and passion of all those really hardworking people.
Also, I pay tribute to our Regional Chairs for
their governance role and also the 12 Regional
Managers, who continue to support the netball
community by delivering strong development
programmes and remaining an ongoing source
for many new initiatives.
Finally, I would like to thank the wonderful
NNZ staff whose passion, enthusiasm, drive,
dedication and good humour continue to make
Netball New Zealand a great place to work.
I have more trouble getting them to stop
working that I ever do getting them to start.
Raelene Castle
NNZ Chief Executive
DAME Lois Muir Tribute
Dame Lois is a universally popular figure,
and a fitting tribute was paid to this spirited
figurehead of Netball during 2009.
Awarded the Distinguished Companion of the
New Zealand Order of Merit for her Services to
Sport and Netball in 2004, Lois was offered the
opportunity to become a Dame when National
returned to Government in 2008.
Unsurprisingly, Lois was not on hand when
other recipients gathered in Wellington to
receive their knighthoods. Instead she was at
the coalface, as she has been for most of her life,
representing New Zealand at the World Youth
Netball Championships in the Cook Islands.
In one of the highlights of her long and
distinguished sporting life, Lois was offered a
private investiture in her home city of Dunedin
where the ceremony was held at the Dunedin Club.
Allowed to invite 20 guests – most people
get three – Lois gathered an intimate group of
people who have been pivotal throughout her
career, including 92-year-old Edna George who
selected Lois to play for Otago in 1950.
It was also a tribute from Lois to a range
of people, who pitched in behind the scenes
and supported her family when she was away
touring with various teams.
Lois has covered every imaginable position in
Netball but is probably best remembered for her
coaching exploits with the Silver Ferns during a
14-year career as head coach.
12
Playing both Netball and basketball for
New Zealand, Lois went on to forge a
glittering coaching career as well as being a
champion for not just Netball but all women’s
sports, long before it was fashionable.
Lois has long been a mover and shaker in
the world of sport as a board member of the
New Zealand Sports Foundation and Hillary
Commission (fore-runners to SPARC) for 12
years and Chair of the Southern Academy for
seven years.
Her fighting spirit, sense of fairness and
determination to get a better deal for female
athletes helped propel Netball to where it sits
today as a widely respected and integral part
of New Zealand society.
It is highly appropriate that this muchloved figure and first lady of Netball has been
honoured as Dame Lois Muir.
Mission
To lead the sustainable growth of netball and its people.

From the President
Mai i te perehitini
IN
what has been another incredibly busy
and diverse year, I would like to pay
tribute to the hard-working Netball
New Zealand Board. Running a sport today is
undertaken in a very competitive market and as
such, I congratulate Board Chair Raewyn Lovett
and Chief Executive Raelene Castle for the
impressive results they continue to forge.
Under the stewardship of this high-performing
duo is an equally dedicated and supportive staff,
whose attitude and work ethics are paramount
to an efficiently run organisation.
To this end, CoachForce, under the guidance
of Leigh Gibbs must also be congratulated.
The CoachForce personnel work very hard
and I admire the way they keep evolving and
introducing new programmes to encourage
people into coaching. Right across the Netball community, from the
Centres and Regions to the international stage,
2009 has proved a challenging and demanding
year for all involved.
A change in format to the NNZ Council
meeting, held in February in Wellington, proved
very successful. With the AGM being held on the
Saturday morning, people had more opportunity
to network and catch up which is an important
component of these gatherings.
A ‘Netball Going Forward’ presentation on
14
the Sunday morning rounded off an extremely
successful weekend. This presentation, which
included all facets of Netball, has continued to
generate positive feedback from all quarters.
At Council, Shirley Hooper was elected to the
NNZ Board. I would like to thank outgoing NNZ
Board member Noeline Ward for her contribution,
in particular, her many achievements and hard
work as Oceania delegate.
I enjoy being a link with the Life Members
and do take time to keep in touch with these
valuable contributors to our game. It is great
for me when I go round the country to see
how many of them still attend events and are
connected to the game. A special thank you
must also be extended to the Life Membership
and Service Award Committee for the dedicated
work you put in each year.
Congratulations to Casey Williams for her
leadership of the Silver Ferns, taking over from
the legendary Julie Seymour who retired last
year. Since being appointed as the captain
this year, Casey has carried the mantle so well.
People love her up front style and commitment.
She is admired for her play but is also a very
genuine person.
I would also like to say “well done” to Silver
Ferns coaches Ruth and Wai. It was a year where
player development and suffering had to take
place. It takes courage to grow players against
top competition but this was a must if we wish
to be competitive at the Commonwealth Games
2010 and World Netball Championships 2011.
In August, I was privileged to attend the
World Youth Netball Championships held
in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, where I was a
representative for New Zealand at the IFNA
Congress meeting. I would like to pay tribute
to the incredible hospitality of the Cook Islands
Netball officials, who not only held a fantastic
event but were very generous hosts to all who
attended the event and in particular to our
NZU21 team. I was very proud of our NZU21 team
and management for the efforts they put in to
win the silver medal.
During my many travels to events around
New Zealand, I can vouch for heartland Netball
being very much alive and well. I ventured to the
NZ Secondary Schools National Championships
in Timaru and it was a pleasure to be there and
see all the young talent that is coming through.
It was also exciting to see so many New Zealand
Service Award holders and Life Members from
that Region.
Former Silver Fern captain, Julie Seymour, with Prime Minister John Key and Dame Lois Muir.
A gathering was held for the volunteers one
day after the games had finished and it was
great to catch up with many people who have
been around Netball for a long time and are still
there supporting it.
There was fantastic support from the Regions
for the test matches played in New Zealand this
year with Invercargill, Wellington and Rotorua
being sell-outs. It is great to see all events being
spread around the country.
I cannot say enough about our volunteers,
who keep the game going. I was lucky enough to
be invited to lunch with the winners of the New
World Volunteer Awards where winners from four
categories – Youth, Official, Administrator, Coach –
were selected from around the Regions. Volunteer
recognition is vital for the progress of Netball and
we sincerely appreciate your huge contribution.
The Perry Foundation National Netball
Champs, held in Invercargill, was a fantastic
spectacle. Without the Silver Ferns playing, these
championships offer more players the opportunity
to play at a higher level. The bar is being lifted
and it will take time but the signs are promising.
The new format for the Perry Foundation
Netball Champs, introduced last year, is gaining
momentum and round-robin games are starting
to attract strong audiences. People are realising
quality games are coming to their Regions; that’s
a big plus and it can only grow.
I would like to thank the Regions and the
Centres for their support and the work they do.
These are the areas where the game grows and
that role is vital in sustaining Netball.
The history project ‘Sterling Silver’, compiled
on DVD, of 20 leading Netball personalities from
the past 30 years, is a testament to the legacy
of the game in New Zealand. We must look
after our history and it is important we do have
it on record.
This year we have had three Netballers who
received the Queen’s Birthday Honours awards
(MNZM) for their services to Netball: Margaret
Foster, Belinda Charteris and Irene van Dyk. I would also to acknowledge the passing
of Dunedin Life Member Nancy Whittleston
and Christchurch Life Member Flo Gough;
our thoughts are with you and other valued
Netballers throughout the country who this
year have passed away. It is also with regret
we make special mention to the passing
of Ivy Pratt (Betty Steffensen’s mother),
who remained a special Netball supporter
throughout her long life.

OUR Regions
The 12 Regions play a pivotal role in the ongoing development of netball
and provide the link between Netball New Zealand and the Centres.
Identifying and implementing programmes and plans specific to their
region is the main focus of the Regional Managers. During 2009 all
Regions had success stories for the hard work that goes on behind the
scenes in the continuing evolvement of the sport.
Waikato
Waikato forged a major sponsorship with Wintec
this year. In the High Performance programme, the
major focus in 2009 was on coaches while five
very successful Netball Discovery Days were held.
Around the Country
North
There was an encouraging increase this year in
North coaches and umpires attending Regional
workshops. The Performance Centre Network
was in operation in seven of nine Netball Centres
with the remaining two Centres coming on board
in 2010. The Region’s Leadership programme
was also initiated this year. The very successful
annual Netball North tournaments held at the
beginning and end of each season continue to
be a rewarding day for all.
Auckland Waitakere
Auckland Waitakere teams had a very successful
2009 after winning both Division 1 and 2 of the
Perry Foundation National Champs, coming third
at the National U21 championships and taking
out the U19 and U17 titles. The Region also had
a CoachForce Officer in place this year and
coaching resources proved to be well stocked
with 16 applicants applying for six coaching
positions for 2010.
Counties Manukau
The moving of Counties Manukau’s Regional
Premier competition indoors for 2009 proved
a great success. The Region also had its best
result at the Perry Foundation National Champs
for many years finishing third in 2nd Division.
Counties Manukau has restructured its Talent
Development Programme to include U15 and
U17 in High Performance and align with NNZ’s
programmes.
20
Bay of Plenty
Bay of Plenty’s Regional Awards Dinner proved
a huge success with 365 members attending.
The coaches' database reached over 700 this
year with all being individual members of Netball
BOP. The Region achieved its best-ever Perry
Foundation National Champs result of Division 2:
2nd place.
Eastern
Eastern held pre-season fitness training sessions
aimed primarily at umpires but which were also
opened up to players. The Annual College Day
Netball Tournament for Years 9 and 10 was held
where a tournament team was picked to attend
a development workshop. Five Netball Discovery
Days were held across the Region targeting
Year 5 and 6 players and each day included a
coaching course for new coaches.
Western
Western were winners of the National U21
Championships while at U19, Centre teams
Manawatu and Taranaki finished 4th and 7th
respectively. A successful Awards Event was held
with great support from around the Region. The
Annual Western Junior tournament was hugely
successful with Year 9 and 10 school teams
travelling from around the lower North Island to
compete.
Wellington
Wellington marked a successful season with
a return to Division 1 of the Perry Foundation
National Champs. Umpires and bench officials
were named in National tournament finals while
one bench official will attend the Commonwealth
Games. Two players from the Region were
named in the NZU21 squad. The High
Performance programme is under the guidance
of Silver Ferns assistant coach Wai Taumaunu.
The Regional League is run in conjunction with
the Centre competition.
Tasman
In the Tasman Region, the Nelson/Malborough
inter-Region premier league was launched and
is known as the Tasman Trophy. Umpires and
officials from the Region have achieved huge
success in 2009 with one umpire named in the
New Zealand squad and one bench official named
to officiate at the Commonwealth Games. Tasman
has a huge group of accredited and committed
volunteers achieving success at Regional and
local level. The employment of a Netball Tasman
CoachForce coach is now entering its fourth year.
Canterbury
Canterbury finished third in the Perry Foundation
National Champs Division 1 after moving up
from Division 2 last year. A new CEO has been
appointed to oversee the Canterbury Tactix and
the Region. A Region-wide pre-season Netball
league was also introduced this year.
Otago
Otago introduced a High Performance Academy
as part of a Certificate in High Performance,
a two-year course with 18 players in total.
Retaining a stable staff, the Region also
introduced ‘toddler time’ for pre-schoolers
while two Otago players were named in the
Steel Franchise squad.
Southland
Southland completed a successful year after
winning the Lois Muir Challenge and finishing
runners-up in Perry Foundation National
Champs. Positive results were achieved through
the Umpire Programme and the Region held an
Awards night for first time.

CORPORATE PARTNERS
New World
Elite Sponsor
Elite Sponsor New World, the fully New Zealand
-owned-and-operated national supermarket
chain, was involved with extensive leverage
activity during a second successful year of
partnership with Netball New Zealand.
New World’s support provides wide-ranging
benefits across a variety of teams and events,
including the Silver Ferns, the international home
test series and National age group representative
teams, involving NZU21, NZU19 and NZ Secondary
Schools. New World is also a support sponsor of
the Perry Foundation National Champs.
In 2009, New World’s activities extended into
the wider Netball community with three major
new initiatives:
Volunteer Awards
This was a local Netball programme rewarding
volunteers at Centre and Club level. New World
vouchers were given out to deserving volunteers
each week with a total of $50,000 in vouchers
awarded to the Netball community.
National Volunteer Awards
Programme
The winners from the four categories – Youth,
Official, Administrator and Coach – were chosen
from entries submitted by all 12 Regions. New
World flew the lucky winners to Auckland to
attend this year’s final test between the Silver
Ferns and Australia at Vector Arena. The winners
also attended the Silver Ferns walk-through,
lunched with Dame Lois Muir and attended the
official pre-match function.
Get Sponsored like the
Silver Ferns
This initiative involved teams collecting New World
dockets to enter into a ‘longest docket competition’.
Twelve teams won the opportunity to be
‘Sponsored like the Silver Ferns’ with prizes
including a training session with members of
the Silver Ferns, VIP treatment at a test match,
personalised gear from adidas, a NetballSmart
physio kit, training equipment and New World
pamper and nutritional packs.
Now well established in its partnership as
Elite Sponsor, New World has reached out to
many sectors of the Netball community with its
innovative promotions. New World staff cheerfully
support Netball in-store with novel ideas such as
wearing Netball bibs on test match day.

Corporate Support
Netball New Zealand would like to formally thank its family of
sponsors and suppliers for the valuable assistance they have provided
over the past year.
This ongoing support helps to reinforce the
positive brand values Netball and the Silver
Ferns represent and the place they hold in New
Zealand society.
We would like to welcome several new
sponsor partners this year and acknowledge the
loyalty of others that continue to keep Netball in
good heart with the quality of their brands.

which involved a lot of mileage as the McCain
truck was driven from Invercargill to Auckland
and to locations in between.
Laura Langman, who features in the McCain
Foods television advertisement, is the company’s
Silver Ferns Ambassador. Fisher & Paykel / Gold Sponsor
Media partner
Fisher & Paykel, New Zealand’s leading
whiteware company, has strong and long
links with Netball. This year marked the Gold
Sponsor’s 14th year of involvement with New
Zealand’s premier female sport.
Fisher & Paykel continued its support of the
ANZ Championship, leveraging its backing of
elite Netball on both sides of the Tasman. The
company ran another successful competition
during the international season, with the winners
receiving tickets to a Silver Ferns test match and
Fisher & Paykel products.
Silver Ferns team members continued to
be involved in store appearances and in-house
promotions giving members of the public the
opportunity to get up close with the Silver Ferns.
The Silver Ferns’ Official Broadcaster, TVNZ
continued its longstanding involvement
with the sport during the 2009 international
programme. In a blockbuster season, TVNZ
provided quality coverage of a record 11 Silver
Ferns test matches. Ten were shown live
and staged from a variety of venues around
the world including New Zealand, Australia,
England and Jamaica.
It also provided comprehensive live
coverage and highlights packages of the
inaugural World Netball Series held in
Manchester. The new shortened version of the
game proved a popular drawcard as viewers
had their first taste of the non-stop action. The
late-night viewings for Kiwi supporters had a
silver lining with the Silver Ferns going on to
win the final.
ONE Sport also showed delayed coverage on
free-to-air television of selected Saturday-staged
ANZ Championship matches.
McCain foods / Gold Sponsor
McCain Foods was welcomed as a new Gold
Sponsor of Netball New Zealand and the Silver
Ferns during 2009.
McCain Foods is a strong supporter of
community involvement in sports, healthy foods
and active lifestyles, values they acknowledge
are synonymous with the Silver Ferns.
The company launched its partnership with
Netball in July with a ‘cook-off’ between Silver
Ferns trio Maree Bowden, Anna Thompson and
Julie Seymour as an opportunity to promote its
new Purely Potato product. The competition to
create the best potato and leek soup aroused
plenty of public and media attention.

The feature involvement of adidas this
year was the design of a stylish new Silver
Ferns playing dress. Designed and trialled
in consultation with the team, the dress
incorporates the use of silver in the adidas
trademark three stripes.
There was universal approval from the players
on all aspects of the new dress which was
launched at a combined function with the new
All Blacks jersey.
The dress is made from a merino/polyester

potential of the wearer by promoting the
balanced regulation of core body temperature
and providing protection and comfort in
competitive, extreme conditions.
All NNZ squads have been provided with

Holden has a strong affinity with Netball as
a major sponsor of the ANZ Championship and
also the Holden Netball Test Series in Australia
between the Silver Ferns and Australian Netball
Diamonds.
Vodafone
SPONSOR
Vodafone also joined the family of sponsors in 2009 as Netball New Zealand’s Official
Communications Partner. Vodafone has launched
‘Netball Tribe’, an extension of its popular
OneTribe website offering Netball promotions
and communications. Vodafone supports the New Zealand
26
ANZ Championship Franchises and is also
working with the Regions to offer improved
communications services to the Netball
community.
Handsets and airtime have been readily
offered by Vodafone as prizes for competitions
and promotions.

SPONSOR
Southern Cross Healthcare also became a NNZ
sponsor and the Official Health Insurance Partner
of the Silver Ferns in 2009, during which they
launched ‘Health Zone’ on NNZ’s revamped
website www.mynetball.co.nz. Silver Ferns
captain Casey Williams was signed up as the
Ambassador for Southern Cross, fronting the
video content on the site which offers tips and
examples on training, stretching and general
health and well-being.
A television advertisement promoting Health
Zone on the MyNetball site was also introduced
during the year.
Southern Cross has plans to be involved with
Netball at local level in the future.
Sky Sport
SKY Sport continued to attract a strong viewing
audience during the second season of the ANZ
Championship.
Netball’s venture into semi-professionalism
via the trans-Tasman competition has proved a
real winner with SKY Sport playing a prominent
role in showcasing the 17-week, 69-game
competition.
Silver Ferns Club Partners
Launched this year, the Silver Ferns Club is a
commercial marketing initiative enabling Club
partners to conduct specific promotional activity
in association with Netball New Zealand squads
and events.
Panasonic
A ‘Panasonic Battery’ fund-raiser campaign was
trialled in Netball Centres and Clubs this year
and will move into full swing in 2010.
The concept behind this partnership is that
Clubs, Centres and Regions have direct access
to Panasonic product (battery packs) to sell
within their Netball communities as a fundraising
opportunity.
Wrigley’s
Another Club partner is Wrigley’s, which had
visible presence at a number of events in its first
year of Netball involvement.
Wrigley’s supported the New Zealand
Secondary Schools Championships (at Regional
and National level) as well as the Perry
Foundation National Netball Champs.
Promoting the healthy benefits of chewing
gum through its ‘Extra’ brand, Wrigley’s held
product-sampling promotions at the test
matches held in New Zealand this year.
Silver Fern Katrina Grant was signed as the
Wrigley’s Ambassador and helped roll out a
promotion involving all teams competing in the
New Zealand Secondary Schools Championships.

sparc / our strategic partner
The continued successful relationship between SPARC (Sport & Recreation
New Zealand) and Netball New Zealand reached new heights in 2009 with
all sectors across the netball community benefiting from the two-way
partnership.
SPARC is a pivotal strategic partner to Netball
New Zealand and NNZ supports SPARC’s mission
to provide opportunities for New Zealanders to
participate in recreation every day and to get
more New Zealanders winning on the world
stage.
SPARC’s investment in Netball New Zealand
has helped with the continued development of
all areas of the sport – from a community level to
world-class competition. SPARC is instrumental
in providing a focus and an understanding of the
importance of developing talent and ensuring
players have the opportunity to reach their
potential.
Its High Performance network, The New
Zealand Academy of Sport (NZAS), aims to
develop athletes, coaches and organisations that
can win at an international level.
The NZAS is pivotal in offering support to
Netball’s elite athletes by providing facilities and
comprehensive services to benefit athletes in
both in their sporting and non-sporting lives.
This year, New Zealand’s top Netballers have
accessed medical and sport science services
from the two Academies throughout the country,
and accredited providers in the Regions. Many
of these Netballers were also given financial
support through SPARC-initiated Performance
Enhancement Grants (PEG) and/or Prime
Minister’s (PM) Scholarships, allowing athletes to
focus more on their training. There were a number of PM Scholarships
granted to High Performance personnel in
2009 with Silver Ferns coach Ruth Aitken and
Silver Ferns physiotherapist Sharon Kearney
awarded scholarships to attend the final week
of the European Handball Championships in
Denmark and link in with the National Team
personnel as they prepared for this event. This
exercise provided valuable insight into a sport
which has similar skills to those of Netball
which is very popular and played by large
numbers in Europe. The lessons learned from
this scholarship have been put to good use
already within the National programme and will
be shared with Franchises and Regional High
Performance personnel over the coming year.
The value of PM Scholarships has opened
new doors in allowing for far greater contact and
interaction with overseas coaches. As well as
the group Prime Minister’s Scholarships offered
by SPARC, NZU21 coach Yvette McCauslandDurie was selected for the Coach Accelerator
programme, a notable achievement as there were
only six recipients across a number of codes.
The NZAS also offers an Athlete Career and
Education programme, which helps athletes to
effectively manage their lives in order to achieve
sporting excellence.
National squad coaches have also received
direct coach-specific support from the Academy
and Franchise coaches have benefited from the
NZAS through financial support, performance
analysis and the development of coaching
initiatives.
In recent years, SPARC has worked closely
with NNZ to implement the CoachForce
programme. This includes four full-time
CoachForce coordinators spread across the
Regions who work with volunteer and High
Performance coaches to improve their skills,
and, ultimately, pass them on to others and their
respective teams.
CoachForce, initiated by SPARC four years
ago, has been embraced by Netball as the
flagship for a new coaching structure across all
aspects of the sport. There is an expectation that
coach development is a lifelong progression,
the ongoing delivery of new material ensuring
coaches at all levels have the opportunity
of adding to their skill base. There will be
greater flexibility in the new framework and a
progression path is also available for coaches
wanting to advance through the levels.
Netball New Zealand is grateful for the
ongoing support and initiatives provided by
SPARC which ensure continued growth and
development across all facets of the game.

NETBALLSMART
2009 has proved TO BE a busy year for NetballSmart as the delivery of
the programme in conjunction with ACC has further grown throughout
our Netball Regions and communities.
Strategically, there has been a focus on
developing practical and educational resources
for Netball players, umpires and coaches. This
has led to the development of NetballSmart
products including: a ‘hydration control
bottle’ and the ‘sideline helper hot and cold
packs’. Each of these products has practical
information that provides on-the-spot, inthe-moment guidelines for hydration or injury
management. These products have been a hit
among all Netballers and have found favour
with rugby, league and soccer players. They
are in high demand and 3,500 have been
distributed New Zealand wide through all
Netball communities.
is designed to be adaptable to all levels of
delivery as well as sport specific in application.
Vital, key relationships have been established
with USL Medical and LifeCare Consultants
to ensure high quality and consistency in the
programme delivery.
Sport Medic and Primary Care Modules that
have been offered throughout the year are:
1. SportSmart and Role and Responsibility of the
Sports Medic
2. Sport-specific First Aid and CPR (includes full
first aid and CPR certification)
3. Basic Principles of Sports Strapping
NetballSmart Research
Areas of specific development and interest for
NetballSmart in 2009:
NetballSmart within Our
Netball Communities
The promotion of NetballSmart has continued,
reinforcing the principles and practices of
enhancing performance and injury prevention.
NetballSmart workshops and presentations have
increased in number in 2009, with a reach just
topping 10,000 players, coaches and umpires.
This is up from 8,000 the previous year,
across Netball Regions, Centres and schools.
In addition, NetballSmart has been included
at Regional and National tournaments and
forums, providing practical advice and ideas for
coaches, umpires, players, managers and sports
medics (primary carers) among others, with a
13% increase in resource distribution throughout
2009. A focus on the areas of stability and
core conditioning, match preparation, recovery
strategies and jumping and landing techniques
has been key this year.
Sports Medic and Primary Care
Programme
The combined Sports Medic and Primary Care
programme in association with New Zealand
Rugby League has completed a very successful
first year throughout New Zealand. The levels
of participation and feedback have been hugely
positive. Participation in the programme within
Netball has been split between coaches of all
levels (including junior and parent coaches) and
conditioners at higher levels. The programme
AUT’s Daniel Lavipour completed his thesis
study with NetballSmart this year on the
‘Development of a Netball Specific Dynamic
Balance Assessment’. The background work of
the study highlighted the need for a valid and
reliable Netball dynamic balance test. Upon
video analysis and looking at game movements
of Netballers, a specific and valid movement test
was developed. The new dynamic movement
and balance assessment was carried out
on a wide range of Netballers to assess its
reliability. The results enabled the identification
of exercises and movements that will improve
Netballers’ movement and efficiency on the
court and are designed to progressively improve:
proprioception, balance, core stability and
strength of Netballers at all levels of the game.
These will be included in future NetballSmart
resources.
Key practical applications for conditioning and
injury prevention, identified at the end of this
thesis were:
• Static (stationary) balance assessments
are not difficult enough to assess varied
sportspeople. Balance should be assessed in
an active task or sport-specific context.
• Training for forward and sideways (lateral)
jumps is at least as important if not more
important than vertical jump training, based
on how often each happens in Netball.
• How a player’s knee moves in a single leg
squat shows what will happen when they do
a forward jump. Therefore it is a good tool to
use in the assessment of players.

Talent Development
and CoachForce
Supported by NZ Community Trust
The scope of Netball New Zealand’s Talent
Development programmes is broad – with a
‘whole of sport’ overview which includes the
development of coaching, umpiring and playing.
Across the development areas, there has been
an emphasis on the ongoing process of fostering
strong relationships with the Regions and
with offering help and support to their High
Performance programmes. At Regional level
this work starts at U15 for players and involves
representative teams, coaches and umpires that
are involved at national tournament level.
The SPARC-initiated CoachForce programme,
supported by NZ Community Trust, is the
delivery mechanism for coach development. Now
into its fourth year, CoachForce continues to roll
out new initiatives in this vital area.
This year there was a focus on facilitator
training, conducted by the CoachForce staff.
The Region facilitators assembled for a two-day
workshop during the year, helping broaden the
base of experienced and skilled people able to
take charge of implementing Coach Development
modules back in their respective Regions.
With only four NNZ CoachForce personnel
available to cover the whole country and in big
demand, this concept was well received. It was a
win-win situation with a strong desire shown by
the Regions to be self-sufficient and to cut down
on delays in delivering these modules.
With the constant development of new
modules, this is an ongoing project, as is the
need to keep facilitators updated with the
evolving content.
The NNZ CoachForce team works closely
alongside the Regions’ coaches with each
member being assigned designated Regions with
which to work. The key emphasis is providing
support, filling in the gaps and helping them
establish programmes so that everyone is working
towards having more coaches of higher quality.
Each year there is a conscious effort
to identify something that needs to be
strengthened in the game at a national level and
provide coach development in that area.
This year the focus was on developing
‘elevation’ primarily in intermediate and
secondary school-aged players – at a time when
they are starting to get serious about the game.
It provided an opportunity to put in place some
solid training and conditioning techniques.
A programme for coaches designed by the
Silver Ferns strength and conditioning adviser
was delivered to all the Regions.
Another initiative was the ‘Stepping Up’
workshop. This was a fill-up for coaches past
the “developing coach’’ stage but needing the
encouragement of a broader perspective as the
old coaching accreditation scheme is phased out.
Assisted by funding from SPARC, a National
Framework review took place this year.
Undertaken by Canterbury University, this
major scrutiny of the framework, which has been
33
developing over the last couple of years, came
under the microscope. Overall, the results were
very positive. It is important we keep striving to
be the best we can be and the comprehensive
analysis delivered of what is working and what
can be improved on is crucial for the continued
delivery of quality programmes.
‘Taking off into Netball’, developed in
conjunction with SPARC, is an online induction
programme. Coaches can go to the coaching
link on Netball New Zealand’s website – www.mynetball.co.nz – and go through a series
of generic coaching questions.
The main thrust is that by working through
it, coaches will gain an understanding of the
direction and style of coaching NNZ is now
promoting. Embracing self-responsibility and
self-learning, the programme involves fun
activities; each subscriber can go at their own
pace and fill out a certificate at the end.
The other on-line facility is the Coaching Toolkit
which was launched last year but is updated on an
annual basis. Coaches can download activities and
ideas from this programme.
The continued financial support from the
NZ Community Trust and our close working
relationship with SPARC are major components
in the delivery of our ever-evolving development
and coaching programmes.
As part of NNZ’s continued involvement in
aiding Oceania’s development, Upper South
Island CoachForce staff member Sue Harris
went to the Cook Islands in September. The visit
coincided with the South Pacific Mini Games, and
Sue conducted several workshops for Oceania
personnel in the area of coach development.
34
In late November/early December Ivy Topping
and Jan Skilton travelled to the Solomon Islands
where they carried out similar roles for local
coaches and umpires.
Talent Development Manager Leigh Gibbs
assumed the Coach Support and video analyst
roles for NZU21 coach Yvette McCausland-Durie
at the World Youth Championships in the Cook
Islands in August.
Leigh also has dual roles on the International
Federation of Netball Associations’ (IFNA) Rules
Panel and Coaching Advisory Panel.
The Rules Panel was charged with writing the
rules for the new shortened version of the game
– FastNet – which had its international launch in
Manchester in October. Mandy Nottingham is also
on this Panel. This proved a challenging exercise
in ensuring the rules around the new format,
including rolling substitutions, power plays and
shooting from outside the circle, worked.
The inaugural World Netball Series proved
to be a great success for this new-look concept
and, while there might be some minor tweaking
in the future, the IFNA Coaching Panel (New
Zealand representatives Leigh Gibbs and Lyn
Gunson) had a day-long meeting in Manchester,
setting out plans for the future and, in particular,
looking at ways of developing and strengthening
the game globally despite limited funding.
For players, their pathway comes through the
New Zealand Talent Development programme
(NZTD) where each Region identifies its top
12 players. These players came together in a
series of clusters for specific workshops held
in November and December and will reunite in
February-March for part B of the programme.
Of the (up to) 144 NZTD players selected by
their Regions for the programme, the ‘best’ up
to 24 of the players chosen by the New Zealand
Emerging Talent selectors will then assemble
in Christchurch in April 2010 at which time the 2010 New Zealand Secondary Schools team will
be chosen.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
2009 was a challenging year for High Performance (HP) as the NZU21
Team’s four-year preparation for the World Youth netball Championships
cAme to an end with a hard-fought battle for the silver medal in the
Cook Islands in August.
At the same time, within the Silver Ferns
programme, it was a year of changes and
challenges with a significant emphasis on
raising the bar as we prepare to win gold at the
Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October 2010. International Netball took a step up this
year with the emergence of both England and
Jamaica who are now consistently showing
that the gap is closing between the top four
countries. The ANZ Championship has been
credited with helping to close the gap with
a number of English and Jamaican players
performing well in this competition.
Changes made across the board in High
Performance will ensure we will be well placed to lift
our game to another level in 2010. The Silver Ferns
management team was restructured to provide
more coaching support on and off the bench.
Performance Analyst, Bobby Willcox, now
sits courtside with the Coaches. Bobby’s role
with Netball New Zealand has increased to
three days a week and she is in her 3rd year of
a PM Scholarship to complete her PhD. Bobby’s
extended role within HP has huge potential for
Netball at the elite level in future years. As the Ferns look to take their performances
to another level over the next two years, the
Silver Ferns coaches have brought in additional
specialist coaching expertise in Lyn Gunson and
Belinda Colling. Both are recognised as astute
thinkers of the game: Lyn provides a wealth
of experience which includes captaining and
coaching the Silver Ferns and coaching England
while Belinda is a former Silver Ferns captain
and a clever world-class goal attack who is now
excelling as a specialist coach for the Silver Ferns. Wai Taumaunu’s role as assistant coach was
also extended to a permanent position, building
on the strong association she formed with coach
Ruth Aitken last year. The coaching partnership,
along with the specialist coaches, continues
to leave no stone unturned as they plot the
campaign for back-to-back gold medals at next
year’s Commonwealth Games and the World
Championships in 2011.
With the retirement of legendary Silver Fern
captain Julie Seymour, Casey Williams was
installed as the new Silver Ferns captain ahead of
this year’s international season. Leading from the
front, Casey continues to develop her leadership
39
skills with clearly no adverse affect on her own
game. She was well supported by vice-captain
Temepara George, the experienced midcourter
making a welcome return to the Silver Ferns in
2009 after a two-year absence. We would like to take this opportunity to
recognise the wonderful contribution of Jackie
Barron, Silver Ferns Manager since 2005 who
resigned to take up the Principal’s role at
Woodford House. With Jackie’s departure this
year, Esther Melville’s role was extended to
include a touring role and she is now the Silver
Ferns Operations Manager, expertly managing
all the team logistics behind the scenes. She
is based at Netball New Zealand’s Head Office
when not away with the Silver Ferns.
There have also been a number of changes in
the High Performance support services area but
talented personnel continue to deliver the vital
ingredients towards the continued development
of our National squad programme.
Support Services Manager Tracey Paterson
is now on board for four days a week in total
for Netball. Lead Conditioner Matt Kritz was
introduced to Netball earlier this year along with
Lead Nutritionist Daniel Healy. Their involvement
has already seen significant development of the
Silver Ferns from the start of the international
campaign and we are excited at what could be
achieved with even longer in the programme. We
also acknowledge the contribution of Katrina
Darry, our former Lead Nutritionist, who is now
with the All Blacks.
We are well supported by our medical
team led by Silver Ferns Physiotherapist
and Medical Coordinator Sharon Kearney,
Doctors Deb Robinson (Medical Advisor),
Jude Goulden (touring doctor) and Marion
Meates – also physiotherapist for the Silver
Ferns. We acknowledge also the work done by
the Franchise physios, conditioners and other
support staff who help support and develop our
elite and developing elite players.
A key objective of the 2009 international
campaign was to develop depth across the
national squad. As a result, three additional
players, who performed well at the World Youth
Championships – Grace Rasmussen, Charlotte
Kight and Camilla Lees – toured England and
Jamaica with the Silver Ferns. While on tour,
Grace was added to the Silver Ferns squad,
joining Charlotte and Camilla who were selected
in the squad for the first time after strong
performances in the ANZ Championship in
2009. We want to make sure that, when the
time comes to select the Silver Ferns team for
the Commonwealth Games and World Netball
Championships, there are 16 to 18 players fiercely
contesting the 12 positions. 40
Another aim from our international campaign
was to develop a third shooting combination and
this year saw the emergence of Paula Griffin at
test level.
Building resilience was another key strategy
and for the team to come back from two losses
against Australia and England in the World
Netball Series (FastNet) to eventually go on to
win it was thrilling. The campaign itself tested
players mentally and physically with no game an
easy win; and players and management required
to back up time and time again in a diverse range
of challenging environments. This all helped to
build the mental toughness needed to win backto-back pinnacle events over the next two years.
This year provided the opportunity to set the
scene for next year’s Commonwealth Games and
the World Championships in 2011. It was great
to see the Silver Ferns continue to improve and
develop throughout this year’s 11-test campaign. As they now move back to their Franchises,
National coaches and support services personnel
will assist them to continue to develop their
resilience and fine tune their skills within their
franchise teams.
This year we also welcomed Don Tricker,
SPARC performance consultant, onto the HP
team. Being able to tap into his considerable
experience and expertise in elite-level sport has
been invaluable in moving ahead with our new
High Performance plan. We farewelled Chris
Bullen who had been in this role with Netball
since 2003 and who has contributed to Netball's
High Performance programme over the last six
years. We would like to also acknowledge the
support of NZ Academy of Sport Coach Support
Manager Graeme Robson. Netball received an additional boost through
further talent development funding from SPARC
part way through the year. This funding is
targeted at success in 2015 and enables us to
fund a number of new initiatives identified in
our High Performance Plan, including additional
personnel and the three training partners on tour
with the Silver Ferns.
The funding also assisted us to provide further
preparation opportunities to the NZU21 campaign
and we were thrilled with the performance of the
team at the World Youth Netball Championships
in the Cook Islands. Despite a disappointing first
quarter against Australia in the final, they showed,
in the following three quarters, how far they had
come as individuals and as a team since playing
Australia in 2008.
The team showed their class with a superb
semi-final performance against Jamaica
to make the final. With Romelda Aiken in
their line-up, Jamaica had been a real threat
throughout the tournament.
We would like to acknowledge the contribution
of Yvette McCausland-Durie, who now moves on
from the NZU21 programme and Emerging Talent
Selection Panel, to take up a full-time role as head
coach of the Pulse.
We congratulate Yvette on her success
with the NZU21 team along with her support
team of assistant coach Janine Southby
(newly appointed NZU21 coach), Chris Tennant
(manager), Helene Barron and Fiona Goddard
(physiotherapists), Sarah Harris and Greg
Thompson (NZAS). The Adrienne Morrin-coached New Zealand
Secondary Schools team had a successful year,
beating Australia in the final, after going through
the annual Trans-Tasman Secondary Schools
Netball Tournament, in Auckland, unbeaten.
The New Zealand Development Umpire
squad attended this tournament; it was a great
opportunity to see our best up-and-coming
umpires in action.
The Trans-Tasman Secondary Schools
Netball Tournament continues to be a relevant
pathway for each country’s national players
with five from the New Zealand team – Carli
Botes, Kayla Cullen, Ashleigh Smith, Sulu ToneFitzpatrick and Emma Weenink – moving up to
the NZU21 squad. Young players now have a further opportunity
to impress the selectors and be selected in a new
Talent Development initiative, the Emerging Talent
Accelerant group. This National programme is
aimed at players with the potential to move into
the NZU21 squad or higher within the next two
to three years. This group was selected for the
first time this year and announced following the
Perry Foundation National Champs. These players
will join the NZU21 squad for a training camp in
January 2010.
The restructure of the National Selection
Panel last year with the formation of two panels
has proved successful in spreading the selection
load and ensuring greater consistency in
selections. The Emerging Talent Selection Panel,
responsible for the selection of the NZU21 squad
and Emerging Talent group consists of Leigh
Gibbs, Adrianne Hayes, Yvette McCauslandDurie, Janine Southby and Adrienne Morrin.
The National Selection Panel, responsible for
the selection of the Silver Ferns squad and the
National Accelerant group, is made up of Ruth
Aitken, Waimarama Taumaunu, Leigh Gibbs,
Robyn Broughton and Adrianne Hayes.
This was a busy and demanding year but we
are excited and ready for the challenges ahead in
2010 and beyond.
41
Silver Ferns
In probably the fullest international schedule undertaken by a
New Zealand team, the Silver Ferns played 11 tests against a variety
of opponents in four different countries and across both hemispheres
during a busy 10-week international window.
As one of the top six teams in the world, the
Silver Ferns also took part and went on to win
the World Netball Series in Manchester, which
highlighted the launch of FastNet, an exciting new
shortened format of the game.
The end result was a five-win six-loss test
record, but the overall progress made by the
team from start to finish was significant. The
long test season provided the Silver Ferns real
opportunities to build depth, experience and a
number of viable playing combinations ahead
of next year’s Commonwealth Games and the
World Championships in 2011.
Defender Casey Williams was named the 23rd
captain of the Silver Ferns in July as the team
prepared for their first challenge of the season
– a three-test series against a well-credentialed
World 7 in August.
With nothing to lose, the World 7 line-up
of experienced internationals from Australia,
England, Jamaica and Samoa prevailed in the
first test in Wellington 48-44.
The second test in Rotorua provided
Anna Thompson and Larrissa Willcox with their
Silver Ferns debuts but it was the World 7 who
42
won on the day and the New World International
Netball series with a 53-44 win.
The Silver Ferns held their resolve in an
exciting third test in Auckland where Paula
Griffin made her first start in an international.
In a match of swinging momentum, a strong final
quarter propelled the Silver Ferns to a 46-41 win.
The Silver Ferns and world champions Australia
provided the action during September as the old
foes squared off in five encounters, with three
played in Australia and two in New Zealand.
Showing real signs of improvement, the Silver
Ferns made the best of starts to win the opening
test in Sydney 53-50. Australia turned the
tables in the second showdown in Melbourne.
Trailing by as many as 12 goals, the Silver Ferns
produced a stirring fight back but, with such a
gaping margin, had left their run too late as the
Diamonds took the spoils 48-44.
Both teams were well primed to get the upper
hand in Brisbane. In a real battle of attrition,
there was action aplenty in a gripping third test.
Defensive prowess won the day in another tight
encounter as the team went goal-for-goal down
to the final whistle with Australia winning 36-33
in the low-scoring encounter.
The test in Invercargill was another thriller
between the two great rivals with a mere
turnover being the decider. After 60 minutes of
high-impact Netball, Australia claimed a 47-46
win and a series win over the five tests.
In the final test in Auckland, the Silver Ferns
fittingly paid tribute to shooting great
Irene van Dyk, in her 100th test for New Zealand,
with a dazzling display. Van Dyk was masterful as
the Silver Ferns strode to a 52-36 win.
The Silver Ferns then headed to the Northern
Hemisphere in October to play in the inaugural
World Netball Series. After a slow start, the Silver
Ferns emerged triumphant with efficient wins over
Australia in the semi-finals, and Jamaica in the final
to become the champions of the World Netball
Series. FastNet is a shortened faster version of the
game where innovative rule changes including
rolling substitutions, shooting from outside the
goal circle and power plays test the fitness,
technical ability and tactical awareness of teams.
The Silver Ferns then headed to Bath for the
one-off test against England, which proved to be
another thrilling game with the match going into
extra time when the teams were locked 51-all at
the end of regular time. However, the Silver Ferns
made no race of it as they moved up a gear to
dominate both periods of extra time, closing out
the match with a comfortable 65-59 win.
Jamaica provided the final stop-off for the
Silver Ferns of 2009, their long campaign
finishing with a two-test series in Kingston. Irene van Dyk and Maria Tutaia were prominent
performers in the Silver Ferns 61-56 first test win
against a competitive and committed Jamaica. Despite a strong fightback in the 2nd test from
the Silver Ferns, the resurgent Sunshine Girls
went on to score their second win over New
Zealand in 44 meetings with a 53-50 win.
During the international season, it became
evident that England and Jamaica, in particular,
have made huge strides in assembling worldclass teams and the customary two-horse race
between the Silver Ferns and Australia is now a
thing of the past.
Silver Ferns coach Ruth Aitken and her
assistant coach Waimarama Taumaunu made
the best possible use of an intense and highly
demanding season to lay the groundwork for the
bigger challenges ahead.
From that perspective, the year has been
a success with improvement evident from
beginning to end. Tactics, formulas and
combinations have gone ahead in leaps and
bounds. Building and consolidating on that
progress is now the ultimate challenge for the
team and coaching staff heading into next year’s
Commonwealth Games. NETBALL NEW ZEALAND ANNUAL REPORT 2009

Julie Seymour
Irene van Dyk
This year marked the end of a special era
when Julie Seymour drew the curtain on an
extraordinary Netball career.
The mother of three – Harrison, Hannah
and Josie – Seymour fittingly played her
final match at home, in Canterbury, leading
the Tactix to a win over the Mystics in the
last round of this year’s ANZ Championship.
Soon after the match, Seymour revealed
she was expecting her fourth child.
High fitness levels, speed, accuracy and
loyalty became the Seymour hallmarks
over a long and illustrious career during
which she captained her country in two
different eras.
During an international career spanning
14 years and 92 caps, Seymour played
in three World Championships and two
Commonwealth Games as well as 9 seasons
of the 10-year-long National Bank Cup, and
both years of the ANZ Championship.
An outstanding leader and always
demanding of high levels of excellence,
Seymour is an inspiring figure who has left
an indelible legacy.
Outstanding Silver Fern shooter Irene van
Dyk achieved another remarkable feat in a
glittering career when she played her 100th
test for New Zealand this year.
Perhaps fittingly, it happened against
arch-rivals Australia, the Silver Ferns rallying
as one to pay tribute to the player who
has contributed so much to Netball in
New Zealand to deliver a resounding win.
Van Dyk has long reigned as the world’s
premier shooter and, in her 100 tests for
the Silver Ferns, she has averaged a 90
percent accuracy rate. In 2005, she became
the world’s most capped Netballer after
previously amassing 72 caps for South Africa.
Immigrating to New Zealand in 2000,
van Dyk has taken the Netball world by
storm. Sure hands, perfect positioning
under the hoop and uncanny accuracy are
the hallmarks of this super-talented player.
Van Dyk has received unstinting support
from husband Christie and daughter
Bianca during an outstanding career for
the Silver Ferns which has won her a World
Championship title and a Commonwealth
Games gold medal.
She has also won the New Zealand
Sportswoman of the Year title and this year
was made a member of the New Zealand
Order of Merit for her services to Netball.

NETBALL DEVELOPMENT
AND OPERATIONS
Netball New Zealand’s continued mission is to lead the sustainable
growth of the sport and its people. The development of all areas of
netball is a key component to the overall Strategic Plan for the game as
it seeks to retain a dominant foothold in the New Zealand sporting arena.
Facility Strategy
A Facility Strategy also began this year with
the specific goal of reviewing the physical
infrastructure of Netball throughout the country.
The particular emphasis of this programme is
looking ahead and ensuring the game is ready for
whatever the future holds.
These are ongoing projects NNZ has begun
this year and they will be completed in 2010.
Event Overview
To ensure the sport keeps evolving and
reaching new boundaries, specific initiatives and
programmes were introduced last year to take
Netball through until 2012. SPARC’s contribution
in this area is appreciated, where a significant
portion of its funding is dedicated to the
development and grassroots level of Netball.
Three key plans put into action this year, and
which will continue through 2010, are vital steps
in taking the game forward. They include:
Organisational Development
Tool (ODT)
This tool has been developed by SPARC to assist
sport organisations to audit their capability,
identify gaps and provide recommendations
and solutions to identified areas requiring
improvement. The need for the ODT within
Netball in New Zealand has been driven from
NNZ’s Strategic Plan and the desire to ensure the
optimum structure for the delivery of Netball
nationwide. NNZ, along with the five ANZ
Championship Netball Franchises, 12 Netball
Regions and selected Netball Centres will
undertake the ODT process commencing in
November 2009.
Volunteer Strategy
This is another initiative to come out of NNZ’s
Strategic Plan and is focused on the goal of
attracting and retaining quality people in our
game. Volunteers play a prominent role in the
efficient running of the sport and it is vital their
expertise and value is further enhanced, retained
and recognised accordingly.
46
There were a number of key highlights to come
out of events held across New Zealand this year.
Two quality New World International Netball
Series involving the World 7 and Australia against
the Silver Ferns attracted a strong public response.
Test matches held in Wellington and Rotorua
between the Silver Ferns and the World 7 were
sold out, as was the Silver Ferns’ clash with
Australia in Invercargill. There was also a high
attendance at the larger-capacity Vector Arena
in Auckland, for the test against Australia.
The national U19 and U21 Age Group
Championships moved indoors for the first
time this year and were hosted at The Trust
Stadium Arena in Auckland. This proved to be a
resounding success. The movement indoors had
positive effects on the performance of players
while umpires and bench officials also benefited
and relished the more consistent environment.
In another first, the U21s moved to hour-long
games. It is expected both these initiatives
will see an increase in numbers for future
participation.
The NZU17 Championship was hosted by
Wellington Netball Centre in its inaugural year.
The event, which attracted 26 teams, proved an
outstanding success. The U17s represent a large
group of players and the positive response to
this new national-run event can only bode well
for its future.
The Finals week of the Perry Foundation
National Netball Champs was held in Invercargill.
SKY again televised five of these matches
live which generated positive interest. The
introduction of a double/promotion relegation
in the First Grade went down well with Western
retaining their Division 1 place and Wellington
downing North to gain the final spot for 2010.
The final domestic event of the year was the
NZ Secondary Schools Championships held in
Timaru. Tu Toa and Mt Albert Grammar fought
out an epic battle for the trophy with
Tu Toa prevailing by one goal in the final
moments of the match.
Bench Officials
This year has seen the greatest progress made
in training Bench Officials in any year since
the new National qualification framework was
introduced in 2004.
Thirty-five current national bench officials
have been revalidated until 2012, a process
which must be achieved every three years, while
a further 17 new Bench Officials have been
awarded National Accreditation.
Lisa Aull and Trina Sheridan represented
Netball New Zealand Bench Officials superbly
with their work in the Cook Islands to ensure the
delivery of the World Youth Championships.
Bench Officials are now recognised in the
presentation ceremonies of all NNZ national
events through medals and/or certificates to
acknowledge their appointment to the Finals.
The standard and assessment of Bench
officiating continues to rise and the
acceptance by the International Federation
of Netball Associations (IFNA) of the NNZ
processes and procedures as a benchmark in
the development of an international system is
a further mark of approval.

Umpires
Umpire Development
The New Zealand Umpire Panel supported
development in the Regions throughout the year.
Each of the six-strong panel was responsible for
liaising with two particular Regions.
The U17, U19 and U21 Age Group
Championship Event Umpire Panels were led by
two members of the New Zealand Umpire Panel
and assisted by four Regional personnel, giving
more people the opportunity to gain experience
in tournament conditions.
Theory exams continued to attract good
numbers with the two New Zealand exams held
in June and September having 19 out of 21 and 19
out of 23 successful candidates respectively.
At Regional level, 54 of 70 candidates were
successful while later in the year 61 from 117
entrants passed.
The highest score recorded in the New Zealand
Theory exam was 99% achieved by Kate Smith,
from Nelson, while three Regional candidates
achieved 49.5 out of 50 to top the Regional exams.
David Pala’amo has announced his retirement
for 2010; his experience and skill both on and off
the court will be greatly missed.
National Umpire Squads
Working on the future course of the National
Umpire squads programme, Netball New Zealand
has contracted a part-time National Umpires
Coordinator in Jan Skilton. For two days a week,
Jan organises the components supporting the
umpire squads High Performance programmes.
These structures and programmes are still
evolving with the aim of moving towards a
‘whole of sport’ approach that will see umpire
development aligning with their playing and
coaching counterparts
NNZ has three National umpire squads – the
ANZ Championship Umpires squad, which in
2010 will change to two tiers, the National A
Umpires squad and National Development
Umpires squad.
In an attempt to increase the number of
IUA-qualified umpires, each squad will have a
coach and camps, and will receive support and
monitoring throughout the year.
Umpires have been added to the New Zealand
Talent Development programme on a similar
basis to the players’ programme.
Each Region can forward up to four U19
umpires with the idea of encouraging more of
the younger set into the umpiring ranks. They
will attend the workshop with the players and,
while it will have specific umpiring facets, the
thrust of the talent development programme can
be seen as encompassing all facets of the sport
whether for a player, coach or umpire.
Expanding on her roles with the ANZ
Championship umpires and the IFNA Match
Officials Panel, Dawn Jones also works
as an adviser to the development of High
Performance as well as game development.
Dawn is an astute judge of the game and her
input is highly valued.

After finishing third in Pool Play, the Silver
Ferns defeated Australia in their semi-final,
and then delivered a powerful performance

ANZ CHAMPIONSHIP
Building on its first successful steps in the semi-professional era,
the second year of the ANZ Championship threw up new key highlights
for the increasingly popular trans-Tasman competition.
The ANZ Championship has rightfully etched
its place on the sporting calendar and added
another chapter in the great spectacle that
is trans-Tasman sporting rivalry. The 17-week
competition, featuring 69 games, had a touch of
everything but it was the quality of Netball and
high levels of athleticism that left the biggest
imprint every Saturday, Sunday and Monday as
the games played out over the winter months.
More aware of the demanding nature of the
competition, the 10 Franchises involving five
teams each from New Zealand and Australia,
continued to take the game to new levels in 2009.
There was a significant increase in public
interest in the competition with a huge 52
percent growth in the television audience which
went up from 5.8 million to 8.8 million this year
across New Zealand and Australia.
Televised live, the exciting and entertaining
nature of the competition continued to pull new
audiences via SKY Sport in New Zealand and
the move to commercial free-to-air television in
Australia, via the partnership with Network TEN.
TVNZ also provided delayed coverage of the
Saturday afternoon games free to air on ONE
Sport.
Attendance figures showed a healthy increase,
up 12 percent from 2008 while visitors to the
ANZ Championship website were up 59 percent
on last year’s figures.
The intensity and quality of the on-court
action continued to bring fans through the gates,
with the 2009 season recording more goals
scored (up from 48 to 52 on average per game)
and more close matches (43 percent of games
were decided by a margin of five goals or less,
compared to 36 percent in 2008).
There was a fitting finish to a compelling
season with two new teams – the Melbourne
Vixens and the Adelaide Thunderbirds –
competing for the Premiership in a finals series
that was not decided until the last round of the
last home and away match.
New Zealand was buoyed by having two
teams in the finals this year after the Waikato/
Bay of Plenty Magic finished second at the end
of the regular season while a strong late season
run propelled the Southern Steel into fourth.
However, it was the Vixens and Thunderbirds
who fought out the final, the Melbourne team
backing up a super-consistent season to run out
as deserved 54-46 winners.
Other season highlights included:
• Central Pulse notched their first success of
the competition with a pulsating win over last
year’s premiers, the NSW Swifts.
• Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic became the first
New Zealand team to win in Australia.
• There was an even spread of Australian and
New Zealand teams across the competition –
Australian teams finishing in ladder positions
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and New Zealand teams finishing
in ladder positions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 at the
completion of 14 rounds.
As it evolves the ANZ Championship is continuing
to grow from strength to strength.
2009 anz championship grand final winners,
the melbourne vixens celebrate their win.

Netball Championships
14 – 17 July, Hataitai Courts, Wellington
The NZ Age Group U17 Netball Championships,
a four-day event and the first Netball New
Zealand championships held for this age group,
attracted 26 Regional and Centre-based teams
and was deemed a resounding success by
everyone involved.
Auckland Waitakere was the winner of the
inaugural Anna Rowberry Cup when they beat
Wellington Black 31-25 in the final. NNZ was very
pleased with the standard on show during the
four days and the new talent that has emerged
from it.

Lois Muir Challenge
The success of the Lois Muir Challenge has
provided a vital link for Regions to keep in step
with Netball’s move into the semi-professional era.
With the advent of the ANZ Championship, the
Lois Muir Challenge was introduced in 2008 to
help fill the gap. Many of these players are often
also part of Franchise’s wider training groups.
The Lois Muir Challenge aims to meet a range
of needs, including to provide an end point for
players in Regional High Performance Academies.
It offers a connection with Franchises for bench
players to have court time and the ongoing
development of young talented players.
Played over four weekends, the Lois Muir
Challenge allows Regions to carry a squad for
the duration of the competition. The draw is
designed to be cost effective, including opening
and closing weekend and two weekends where
teams play their neighbours.
Nine teams out of 12 Regions entered in the
first year while 10 teams were involved in 2009.
The challenge is played in the early part of
the season in March and April and the opening
weekend in 2008 took place in Christchurch
while this year it was in Wellington. In both years,
the closing weekends have been held in Rotorua
with a dinner featuring the competition’s
namesake Dame Lois Muir DNZM, OBE as guest
speaker being a highlight.
The Lois Muir Challenge has proved a popular
and closely fought competition with goal ratios
determining final placings in the first two years
of the event.
Each year has also thrown up a different mix
of winners with Otago prevailing in the inaugural
event and Bay of Plenty coming home in the
runner-up spot. The 2009 winner was Southland
with Cook Strait the runner-up.

NNZ COUNCIL 2009
Netball New Zealand held its annual Council meeting – the 82nd edition –
at the Intercontinental Hotel in Wellington on 21 – 22 February.
One hundred and ninety-three people attended
the two-day event including 157 delegates and
observers. This year the Annual General Meeting
was held on the Saturday morning, followed by
two rotations of workshops in the afternoon. A dinner was held on Saturday evening with
the inspiring Kevin Biggar as guest speaker.
Kevin and Jamie Fitzgerald were the only New
Zealanders to walk to the South Pole in January
2007 and in 2003 they won the trans-Atlantic
rowing race, setting a new world record.
Well-received presentations from Netball New
Zealand Senior Management took place on the
Sunday morning.
Nine Netball New Zealand Service
Awards were presented to:
Margaret Bennie (Netball Otago), Monica Burns
(Netball Southland), Robin Harding (Netball
Auckland Waitakere), Nancy Lewin (Netball
Kapiti Centre unable to attend Council),
Susan Miller (Netball Counties Manukau),
Theresa Strachan (Netball Taranaki Centre),
Waimarama Taumaunu (Netball Wellington),
Patricia Wyatt (Netball Bay of Plenty),
Diane Yorke (Netball Bay of Plenty).
Youth Council
The seventh annual Youth Council was held in
Auckland in June. This concept, where each of
the 12 Regions send a representative to provide
a ‘youth voice’ to a range of topics, continues to
flourish.
The future key decision-makers in the sport
show real enthusiasm and responsibility in their
roles as important contributors to the wider
picture of Netball across the community. This
year’s guest speaker was Silver Fern Laura
Langman. NetballSmart and New Zealand
CoachForce presented and gained feedback for
initiatives they were looking at for next year.
There was some good positive feedback on
merchandise, in particular, and some interesting
ideas which will be taken forward.

Maori Netball and OCEANIA
Maori Netball
There is current movement on translation of a
game skills resource which will be available by
December to aid Maori Netball development.
Thirteen Maori coaches attended a Netball
Hui programme hosted by Counties Manukau
in February. It is the third year that Counties
Manukau has hosted this popular programme
and this year’s agenda included NetballSmart
– an overview of Sport Trainer/Primary Care
courses available, a Netball New Zealand Playercentred Coaching Module and a NNZ Planning
Coaching Module.
There were four finalists at the Maori Sports
Awards in 2009 with Tu Toa taking out the title
of the Team of the Year.
Finalists were:
• Briar Martindale – Administrator of the Year
• Temepara George – Senior Sportswoman
• Tu Toa – Team of the Year – Winners
• Yvette McCausland-Durie – Coach of the Year
Oceania
The three key areas of development work
undertaken in the Oceania Region during the
year were centred on Bench Officials, Coach
development and Umpiring.
Two NNZ Bench official trainers – Lisa Aull
and Trina Sheridan – travelled to the Cook
Islands to facilitate training and supervision of
local Bench Officials.
This resulted in 25 Cook Islands Bench Officials
receiving further training and supervision at the
World Youth Netball Championships held in the
Cook Islands in August.
Other Oceania Bench Officials from Samoa
and Fiji also received training and development
opportunities at the Pacific Mini Games (PMG)
also held in Cook Islands in September.
The Coach development training of Oceania
coaches was facilitated by Sue Harris, NNZ
CoachForce Canterbury, in the Cook Islands.
86
Eight Oceania coaches attended two coach
development workshops held by Sue. She also
assisted Oceania Coaches in the Cook Islands for
the PMG, with game analysis and training plans. Umpire development included three Fiji
and three Cook Islands Umpires officiating at
the Upper North Island Secondary Schools
competition. Oceania Umpires also officiated at
the PMG held in September.
New Zealand umpires David Pala’amo and
Bobbi Brown were also in attendance at the
Pacific Mini Games where they held workshops
and provided ongoing assessment and
mentoring of Oceania Umpires.
NNZ Regions also donated ‘Pre-Loved’
uniforms which were distributed in August to the
Oceania member countries with the assistance of
Air New Zealand.
Carole Maddix and Briar Martindale attended
the Oceania AGM in September in the Cook
Islands and contributed to the development of a
Strategic Plan looking ahead to 2017.

Audit report
To the readers of the financial report of Netball New Zealand Incorporated.
We have audited the financial report on pages 92 to 98. The financial report provides information
about the past financial performance of the Incorporation and Group and its financial position as at
30 November 2009. This information is stated in accordance with the accounting policies set out in
Note 1 to the financial report.
THE BOARD’s Responsibilities
The Board is responsible for the preparation of a financial report which gives a true and fair view
of the financial position of the Incorporation and Group as at 30 November 2009 and the results of
operations for the year ended on that date.
Auditor’s Responsibilities
It is our responsibility to express to you an independent opinion on the financial report presented by
the Board.
BASIS OF OPINION
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the
financial report. It also includes assessing:
• the significant estimates and judgements made by the Board in the preparation of the financial
• report, and
• whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Incorporation’s and Group’s circumstances,
consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We conducted our audit in accordance with New Zealand auditing standards. We planned and
performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered
necessary to provide us with sufficient evidence to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial
report is free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or error. In forming our opinion
we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial report.
Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Incorporation,
its Subsidiary or the Joint Venture with TTNL Limited.
UNQUALIFIED OPINION
We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required.
In
•
•
our opinion:
proper accounting records have been kept by the Incorporation as far as appears from our
examination of those records; and
the financial report on pages 92 to 98:
– complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand;
– gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the Incorporation and Group as at 30 November 2009 and the results of its operations for the year ended on that date.
Our audit was completed on 18 December 2009 and our unqualified opinion is expressed at that date.
