In 2006 Netball continued with the theme of Stepping Up. We have
focused on raising the bar, performing better, and stretching ourselves
to achieve more than we thought possible by focusing on The Game, The
People and The Business.
Mo te tau 2006, kua whai tonu a Poitarawhiti Aotearoa i te kaupapa o te
Ara Poutama. Kua aro nui maatou ki te whakapai ake, ki te whakapakari
ake, otiraa, ki te whakamatiti ake i a maatou anoo, kia tutuki ai ngaa
kaupapa tee whakaarohia ka tutuki i a maatou, maa te aro nui ki te
taakaro, ki te tangata me te taha pakihi.
The Silver Ferns peak performance at the Melbourne Commonwealth
Games was without a doubt a highlight of what was a long campaign to
achieve their first ever Commonwealth Games gold medal.
Maana noa ake e kore, ko te angituu o te kapa Rarauhe Hiriwa i te
Taumaahekeheke Commonwealth, te hua nui i puta ake i te whainga pae
tawhiti, kia mau i a raatou taa raatou meetara koura Taumaahekeheke
Commonwealth tuatahi.
As Netball continues to grow in popularity and television ratings soar,
we must acknowledge this occurs due to the support from the New
Zealand public, the media and the wider netball community including
Regions, Franchises and our thousands of volunteers.
E whanake haere tonu ana te poitarawhiti, aa, e whaanui haere ake ana
toona maatakitakihia ki runga pouaka whakaata, no reira e tika ana kia
kii, na te tautoko a te haapori o Aotearoa, a te hunga paapaho, me te
haapori Poitarawhiti tonu, araa, ngaa rohe, ngaa kapa me ngaa kaituao
tini ngerongero i pera ai.
Netball New Zealand is committed to working with our community to
ensure netball retains its world–class status here in New Zealand and
grows its profile both at a grassroots and premier status.
E puumau ana a Poitarawhiti Aotearoa ki aana mahi i te taha o te
haapori, kia noho tonu ai te taakaro poitarawhiti ki oona keokeonga,
otiraa, kia rongonui ake ai ia, i te raro, i te runga.
With the challenges of the 2007 World Netball Championship campaign
foremost in our minds, please take the time to reflect on the successes
and achievements captured in our 2006 Annual Report adding to our
rich history of netball.
Kei te puu o ngaa whakaaro te whakataetae moo te ipu o te ao a te tau
2007, engari, teenaa koa raa, kia whai whakaaro ake ki ngaa angituu me
ngaa momohotanga, e raarangihia ake nei ki roto i teenei purongo–a–
tau, hei raukura moo te puutoi korero a te taakaro poitarawhiti.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 • MAI I TE MANUKURA
FROM THE CHAIR
Once again, we have had an exciting, challenging and successful year both on and off the court.
The highlight on court had to be, of course, the Silver Ferns superb victory at the Commonwealth Games
in Melbourne.
Not only was the Silver Ferns Netball of the highest quality but
the Board was delighted to receive feedback from many quarters
commenting on what magnificent ambassadors our players were
both for the sport and for their country. Of course that joy was
tempered by the way the Australians fought back in the subsequent
test series. However, that merely sets up a potentially wonderful
showdown next year.
Off the court, the Netball New Zealand team has constantly sought
to achieve that crucial balance between managing the current
business and stepping up to cover new ground. The game is at a
dynamic and rapidly changing stage of its development and the NNZ
Board believes our current staff continue to more than meet the
many challenges we face.
The main business of the Board was to focus on the following key
strategic issues:
Developing and enhancing our domestic game, especially our
elite competitions
Building the resources and strength of our regional
infrastructure to assist the growth of the game
Generating income to invest back into the sport
Winning on the world stage
Improving the state of International Netball
We have made good progress on all of these.
We conducted a comprehensive review of The National Bank Cup,
which was one of the Board’s key initiatives for 2006. That review
was independent confirmation that while the competition has
provided great impetus for Netball in New Zealand, it has reached a
stage in its development where it needs to be refreshed for 2008 and
beyond. A major priority is to now work with our various stakeholders
to complete that exercise and relaunch the competition in a manner
which is even more exciting for both the public and the participants.
We are also continuing to work closely with Netball Australia on
various trans–Tasman options. Our relationship with our Australian
counterparts is excellent and our two great Netball nations need to
lead the way on the international stage. Alongside these discussions,
we also confirmed our ongoing commitment to annual home and
away tests between each nation.
Our long term strategy to reduce affiliation fees to zero came to
fruition in 2006. This initiative is one way we have helped our
Regions financially. Another priority going forward is to work with
Regions to introduce standard accounting/reporting procedures
through MYOB. This will be an extremely positive step across the
country. We also realise that funding of the Regional Managers
programme is a huge issue for Regions and we need to work together
collectively to develop solutions which will provide more certainty in
this area.
As for the state of international Netball, there is still much to
be done to improve the game around the globe. However IFNA
President Molly Rhone and Vice-President Kereyn Smith are adding
real value to the international game and our relationship with IFNA
is very positive. We will continue to increase our support for and
commitment to various international initiatives. NNZ continues
to support Oceania via resources, administrative support and
comprehensive attendance at meetings.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board and staff of NNZ for their
expertise, energy and total commitment. In particular I acknowledge
outgoing NNZ Board Member Jane Wrightson for the incredible
contribution she has given to Netball over the last eight years. Jane
operates with passion, wisdom and a wonderful sense of humour and
she will be missed by us all.
I also acknowledge the ongoing and outstanding contribution of our
Finance and Audit Chair, Nelson Cull. The sound financial position
of the organisation has much to do with the wise and prudent
leadership Nelson provides commercially and financially.
I can assure the Netball community that both the Board and the
NNZ organisation bring a deep commitment and strong work ethic
to the game.
The highlight on court had to be, of course, the Silver Ferns superb victory at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
CHAIR
DON MACKINNON
I would like to thank Shelley McMeeken, who as our Chief Executive
continues to provide leadership with great energy, commitment
and professionalism. Shelley leads a team of staff who are
committed to doing their absolute best for the game. In the Board’s
view, the game is very well served by its national office.
Our President, Fay Freeman, ends her term in February 2007. Fay has
continued to fulfil her role with great decorum and wisdom and I
thank her for her sage and valuable advice.
Ultimately though, our game still depends first and foremost on the
efforts of our many volunteers whose tireless efforts at all levels of
the game, do the most to deliver a great sport for our players and
for our ever increasing fan base. The NNZ Board members attended
Regional AGM’s around the country in 2006 to hear first hand the
views of our members. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank
our volunteers for their efforts in 2006.
It is therefore with a sense of pride and satisfaction that I am able
to report on the eighty-second year of activities and achievements
for NNZ.

GOVERNANCE
1 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 used
to manage the organisation.
2 NNZ’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.
3 The Board continues to monitor best practice recommendations
and developments, as they occur to ensure that governance is
consistent with international best practice.
4 The Board currently comprises 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 responsible for the running of NNZ).
5 During the 2006 financial year the Board met ten times.

ANNUAL REPORT 2006 • MAI I TE TUMU WHAKARAE
FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
For 2006, our on–court highlight was winning our first gold medal at the Commonwealth
Games. Off–court, our aim was to consolidate our vision and values to set a clear strategic direction
for the organisation.
Netball New Zealand’s mission of developing The Game, The People
and The Business was further streamlined this year, due to the
outstanding internal work conducted by our staff. We now have a
clear mandate to use The Game as our lead driver, with The People
and The Business supporting these decisions and propelling our
organisation forward.
A significant initiative for 2006 was the CoachForce programme
supported by the New Zealand Community Trust. This has contributed
to the ongoing development of volunteer and high performance
coaches across the country. Ultimately it is about strengthening the
performance of teams whilst providing a support mechanism for our
Community Coaches.
Our challenge moving forward is about not accepting the status
quo – our challenge is to ensure Netball is attractive, relevant
and inspirational.
NGA TANGATA The People – In it for Life
At the heart of Netball lies our community, which is spearheaded
by our 12 Regions. Our thanks to Scottwood Trust who continued
the funding for our 12 Regional Managers in 2006 and part–funded
a marketing role to assist the Regions. This programme is the vital
glue which holds Netball together and enables the effective delivery
of national programmes and development pathways for our players,
coaches, officials and administrators. In 2007, NNZ aims to provide
further support to the Regions to help strengthen their financial
reporting systems. Planning is also underway to provide an online
coaching tool to offer resource for Netball Coaches at all levels
supported by Fisher & Paykel Appliances.
Te takaro The Game – Up with the Play
The Silver Ferns gold medal winning performance at the Melbourne
Commonwealth Games for the first time was without a doubt a
landmark event for NNZ. It was the first time New Zealand has
held all major international titles; World Champions, World Youth
Champions and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalists. A special
acknowledgment is made to our outstanding Silver Ferns team
and Management under the guidance of Coach Ruth Aitken. The
Silver Ferns team thrived in the supportive ONE TEAM environment
provided by The New Zealand Olympic Committee. The final of
the Commonwealth Games reminded us all that quality Netball is
compelling and plays an increasingly important part in the lives of
many New Zealanders. It was humbling to have the Nation behind
the Silver Ferns. We thank SPARC and the Acadamy of Sport for their
support of our High Performance programme.
The Silver Ferns were awarded Most Outstanding Team in the
Prestigious Commonwealth Sports Awards held on 29 November in
London, following their Commonwealth Games Gold Medal win in
March, and a record 61 - 36 win versus arch-rivals Australia on 29
October 2005, remaining unbeaten in the year 1 July 2005 – 30
June 2006.
The standard of netball and the number of closely contested games
in The National Bank Cup was another important achievement for
2006. It is worthy to note that 2007 marks the tenth anniversary of
our premier domestic competition and we look forward to another
exciting event.
10 • POITARAWHITI AOTEAROA • NETBALL NEW ZEALAND
Since 2003, NNZ has made a concerted effort to ensure there are
no barriers to entering our sport. This is a key focus of the work
of our Lion Foundation Te Kaihautu (Maori Co–ordinator) role.
Robin Manihera worked in this inaugural position and shaped the
way forward. As Robin leaves to travel with her husband NNZ
acknowledges the legacy she has left behind. A special luncheon
was also held to bring together Maori Leaders from various
backgrounds outside Netball to ensure the continuation of our
inclusive programme.
Our Life Members are an important aspect of the Netball family.
It is not often this group comes together, but 2006 saw a special
luncheon held for all Life Members at the Scottwood Trust Netball
Champs. This event provided a chance for the group to experience
heartland Netball at its best, and share memories of Netball from
their respective years.
Netball’s appeal was again broadened in 2006 through the Milo
Netball Discovery Days. These events give our young Netballers the

chance to learn from our best players in a fun environment.
We rounded off the year by taking the Silver Ferns to the nation
with the ‘Shine On Tour’ in October in conjunction with our premier
sponsor Fisher & Paykel. They visited five towns in New Zealand
supported by hundreds of fans throughout the country.
Alignment with our 12 Regions is critical to our ongoing success
and the NNZ Board met with them on several occasions. They also
hosted the 12 Regional Chairs for a meeting prior to hosting them at
the Fisher & Paykel International Netball Test against South Africa.
It is encouraging to see the continuing momentum of the game in
our Regions and Regional administrators should take pride in their
achievements over the year.
TE MAHI The Business – Leading Sport
The Strategic priorities as laid out in Outside the Circle assist us to
achieve our vision of being a standout sporting and entertainment
experience – inspiring New Zealand. The NNZ Board and
Management team have continued a high level of commitment to its
business objectives and have taken a number of important steps to
ensure value is added to our core offerings, generating sustainable
revenues and focussing on the future.
Our NNZ Board took a lead role in the review of The National Bank
Cup, which is an important part of how we will take the Game to the
next level. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Review involved consultation
with the Franchises and Regions as well as an overarching meeting
to present the final review. Whilst we need to confront the
challenges that are involved in running any sport it is encouraging
to see the focus on future delivery. The outcome of the review in
whatever shape it takes will ensure that Netball is well positioned
for the future.
Netball took a step forward in 2006 with the launch of our new
website www.netballnz.co.nz late in the year. This is now a revitalised
home of Netball with the content reflecting the look and feel of our
organisation whilst providing an appealing backdrop for our fans,
players, administrators, coaches, umpires and casual browsers.
International Netball aims to address ongoing issues under the
leadership of Molly Rhone from Jamaica and Kereyn Smith from
New Zealand. It has been a year of consolidation and strategising,
and they are looking forward with optimism due to the encouraging
support of sponsors and funders as well as growth in the number of
the countries participating in Netball. There have also been changes
at the Governance and Management level of Netball Australia and
the Board and Management of Netball New Zealand have formed a
leadership alliance with our Australian counterparts.
Our Prime Minister and Minister of Sport take a special interest
in our Game and we recognise the responsibility that we have to
our community, as we are representative of both our National
identity and diversity.
I would like to extend my thanks to the Management team at NNZ
with whom I am incredibly proud to work alongside. They enable
Netball to continue to grow and develop in all areas of The Game,
The People and The Business.
The NNZ Board has continued to push for excellence, governing
always as Directors who have growth of the game – in its widest
sense – as their number one priority. We appreciate the time and
the expertise each member brings to the Board. We look forward
to another year of celebration supported by an unflinching will
to succeed.

HIGH PERFORMANCE
HIGH PERFORMANCE
MANAGER
TRACEY FEAR
Winning the Commonwealth Games gold medal in March sealed a vintage era for
New Zealand netball. The Silver Ferns winning feats in Melbourne marked the first
time New Zealand has held all three major international titles — the World Netball
Championships, the World Youth Cup and the Commonwealth Games — at the same time.
The key challenge ahead is achieving another first in retaining the
world title in Fiji and winning back–to–back world championship titles.
The High Performance vision of unrelenting excellence where people
are valued, commitment is expected and challenge is embraced has
helped netball reach new standards of achievement.
Mindful of complacency and a rejuvenated Australia, the drive to be
better than before is paramount to future success.
Six key objectives have been part of the High Performance strategy
towards achieving success in 2007:
1. Winning Culture
An environment of continuous improvement with winning as the
fundamental driver: Highlighted by the Commonwealth Games
success and the New Zealand Secondary School team‘s success
against their Australian counterparts for the fourth successive year.
2. Peak Performance
The programmes and campaigns that prepare our National Squads
to perform: England’s cancellation of the Silver Ferns end of season
tour has added to the challenge of planning the best possible
preparation for the 2007 World Netball Championships. The
establishment of an annual U21 competition between New Zealand
and Australia is a welcome addition to the High Performance
programme and the U21 programme will increase as we head
towards the 2009 World Youth Netball Cup. The New Zealand
Academy of Sport’s (NZAS) performance services have been
individualised, resulting in an improvement in the conditioning of
netball’s elite and developing elite players.
3. Innovations
This looks at game-breaking ideas and strategies. Research
undertaken in 2006 through the NZAS will look at decision–making
for both athletes and umpires. It is hoped this research can
eventually be passed on to Regional and Franchise level. Moves
are afoot to take video analysis to the next level, reviewing critical
success factors in performance.
4. Pathways
The New Zealand Talent Development programme was rolled out
across all 12 Regions in late 2006. The 12 best young players aged
between 15 and 17 from each Region have been identified for
further development. They will be given sport science and injury
prevention support and education to foster their progress along the
national pathway. Eligible U21 players for the 2009 World Youth
Netball Cup now make up the majority of the current NZU21 Squad
resulting in a larger NZA Squad moving into 2007. The National
Umpires Squad and the National Development Umpires Squad
are also working to progress our most talented umpires along the
development pathways to elite level.
5. Best People
Consistently producing world class players, Netball is fortunate to
have some of the best coaches, managers, medical and support
personnel in the High Performance programme. Sparc’s Prime
Minister’s Scholarships have also offered coaches and support
personnel the opportunity for further development. This year
scholarships were awarded to lead nutritionist Katrina Darry,
Silver Ferns and NZA Performance Co–ordinator Tracey Paterson,
Silver Ferns Manager Jackie Barron and Netball New Zealand’s
physiotherapist group. Consistency of selections from National
Selectors Ruth Aitken, Leigh Gibbs, Te Aroha Keenan, Yvette
McCausland–Durie, Adrianne Hayes and Annette Heffernan has been
reflected in a greater consistency of performance in recent years.
6. Shared Vision
This is a philosophy shared with all key participants and ensuring all
who impact on High Performance are involved and understand the
importance of their role. Franchise Coaches and Regions play a huge
part in Netball New Zealand’s success at the international level.
Key Netball personnel across High Performance and Game
Development were involved in putting together submissions for the
International Rules Review, which will be confirmed by member
countries at the World Netball Championships in 2007.
SILVER FERNS
2006 was a demanding and full year for the Silver Ferns, beginning with the early preparation for
the Commonwealth Games and stretching right through until mid–October. The year provided action
aplenty and with it the emergence of new faces to the Silver Ferns line–up.
The Silver Ferns preparation for the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth
Games began almost immediately after their success in the 2003
World Netball Champs. It was a blow for the team to lose Silver
Fern shooter Jodi Te Huna just one day prior to the opening of
the Commonwealth Games competition. Jessica Tuki, on hand in
Melbourne with the NZA team, was called in as the replacement.
The setback did not deter the team and in one of the final
performances of the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne,
the Silver Ferns pocketed the coveted gold medal for the first
time after coming so close in 2002 and 1998. The five–goal win
over Australia proved the crowning glory of a dominant era by
the Silver Ferns and cemented their place at the top as World and
Commonwealth Champions.
The Silver Ferns were back across the Tasman in June for the
two–test series against Australia. Defender Joline Henry earned a
recall for the series while midcourter Debbie White made the team
for the first time as the replacement for Anna Rowberry, who retired
after the Commonwealth Games due to pregnancy.
The Silver Ferns celebrated the return of test netball to Brisbane for
the first time in 25 years with a resounding 12–goal win in the first
test. Highlights included the stunning performance of teenage shooter
Maria Tutaia in her debut against Australia and the ideal way for coach
Ruth Aitken to celebrate her 50th match at the helm. Australia turned
the tables in the second test in Sydney, winning by 10 goals and
recording their first win over the Silver Ferns in two years. The Silver
Ferns higher goal average saw them take the Holden series win.
The Silver Ferns all–encompassing 94 – 25 win in the one–off Fisher
& Paykel International Test against South Africa in Auckland, in July,
was a record total and a record margin. Debbie White marked the
occasion with her international debut at Centre during this match.
The build–up to the eagerly anticipated three–test Fisher & Paykel
Series in October threw a number of challenges with stalwart
shooter Belinda Colling withdrawing from the team due to
pregnancy. National Selectors chose the replacement shooter after
the completion of the Scottwood Trust Netball Champs. Veterans
Tania Dalton and Julie Seymour along with schoolgirl Paula Griffin
were added to the Silver Ferns Squad following the Scottwood
Trust Netball Champs with Dalton being named for the series
against Australia.
Injury to defender Casey Williams before the first test elevated
Seymour to the playing 12.
In a tight schedule where the three tests were played in five days,
Australia signalled their resurgence with a 2 – 1 series win. All tests
were hotly contested, Australia prevailing in the first in Wellington
51 – 47 and the Silver Ferns 43 – 37 in Auckland before the visitors
broke the deadlock in clinching the decider of the Fisher & Paykel
Series in Christchurch 46 – 40.
The Silver Ferns and all personnel involved have been presented with
the ultimate challenge as they prepare and plan to win back–to–back
world titles for the first time in 2007.
Fisher & Paykel APPLIANCES
Premier Sponsor
OVER THE PAST 11 YEARS FISHER & PAYKEL APPLIANCES HAS FORGED A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH NETBALL NEW
ZEALAND. IT HAS PROVED A WINNING PARTNERSHIP BOTH ON AND OFF THE COURT WHERE THE ExACTING PHYSICAL
STANDARDS SET ON COURT ARE MATCHED BY THE Silver Ferns POPULARITY AND ACCESSIBILITY TO THE PUBLIC
OFF-COURT.
Fisher & Paykel’s involvement has not been confined just to the elite
– their valuable support covers netball’s high performance teams
(Silver Ferns, NZA and NZU21 teams) as well as transcending to a
regional level. Fisher & Paykel is developing a strong affinity with
grassroots netball with a significant proportion of their promotional
support ensuring children have frequent and meaningful access to
their role models.
In early 2006, the Silver Ferns visits to Westfield Malls, jointly
promoted by NNZ and Fisher & Paykel, proved to be an increasingly
popular opportunity for youngsters to get close to the Silver Ferns.
Young fans had the opportunity to test their shooting skills, obtain
autographs and have their photo taken with their favourite Silver
Fern in a relaxed and friendly environment that was open to all
members of the public.
Another popular promotion, Feast with the Ferns, which was run
in Auckland–based Fisher & Paykel retail stores and via the
company’s website, produced six excited winners who along with
a guest were given the exclusive experience of visiting Auckland’s
Seafood School with six Silver Ferns. After being given a lesson from
one of New Zealand’s leading chefs in how to prepare and cook
a gourmet seafood meal, the group then moved into the Fisher &
Paykel kitchen to put their new found skills into action before sitting
down to eat their meal with the Silver Ferns. A great night of fun
and entertainment!
There are many areas of netball in which Fisher & Paykel play a
leading hand, and the success of the partnership was evident
when the company introduced a new set of television commercials
featuring members of the Silver Ferns. Within months the new
commercials had superseded those made in 2004, which until then
had been Fisher & Paykel’s most successful advertising campaign.
In line with their aim of connecting with grassroots netball, Fisher &
Paykel selected 36 local children in conjunction with the Scottwood
Trust Netball Championships, for the Fisher & Paykel Coaching Clinic.
Silver Ferns Assistant Coach Leigh Gibbs and a selection of Silver
Ferns and NZA players conducted a two-hour netball skills session.
This was the second year Fisher & Paykel has sponsored this popular
clinic; the first in Dunedin in 2005 and it will be run again in 2007 in
Palmerston North.
Fisher & Paykel is also the major sponsor of any home series played
by the Silver Ferns. New Zealand had increased opportunity to see
their national netball team in action in 2006, with the one–off
Fisher & Paykel International Netball Test against South Africa in
Auckland followed by the three–test Fisher & Paykel Series against
Australia in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch in October.
During the build-up to the Australian series, Fisher & Paykel ran
a nationwide retail campaign to select four lucky winners to
participate in the ‘Shine On Tour’ promotion. The four winners and
a friend each were given the fantastic opportunity of being on tour
with the Silver Ferns around New Zealand during the three–test
series against Australia. Hosted by Silver Fern Jodi Te Huna, the
winners attended each of the three tests, travelled and stayed with
the team, attended closed training sessions, as well as taking in
some sightseeing during their stopovers.
To give our World and Commonwealth Games netball champions the
opportunity to thank their many fans for their loyal support during
2006, Netball New Zealand and Fisher & Paykel created the ‘Shine
On Tour’. The five–day regional tour around NZ involved the current
Silver Ferns Squad visiting some of the country’s provincial cities
to conduct netball skills clinics and hold “meet and greet” sessions
in local shopping malls. These successful visits included Tauranga,
Napier, Palmerston North, Nelson and Dunedin, with hundreds of
fans turning out to see their netball heroes. This was a fitting end to
another busy and successful sponsorship year with Fisher & Paykel.
SPARC
OUR PARTNER IN SUCCESS
SPARC (Sport & Recreation New Zealand) is committed to getting
New Zealanders more active and winning in events important to new zealand. Netball is helping SPARC
achieve both goals.
SPARC plays a prominent role in netballers reaching the elite level,
through its high performance network, the New Zealand Academy
of Sport (NZAS). The NZAS provides facilities and comprehensive
services to benefit elite athletes in their sporting and non–sporting
lives. A large number of New Zealand’s top netballers have accessed
the medical and sport science services on hand at the three
Academies throughout the country and accredited providers in the
regions. Many Netballers also receive financial support through
SPARC’s Performance Enhancement Grants and Prime Minister’s
Scholarships. The NZAS also offers an Athlete Career and Education
programme which helps athletes manage their lives as well as
achieving sporting excellence. Netball coaches have also benefited
from the NZAS through financial support and the development of
coaching initiatives.
In some areas Regional Sports Trusts and regional Netball entities
have combined to put in place a CoachForce programme. Netball
Tasman is an example of a Region having joined forces with a
Regional Sports Trust to gain the services of a CoachForce person.
Counties Manukau has also been successful in getting the go–ahead
for a CoachForce position while other Regions are in the process of
going down a similar route.
Also in unison with SPARC, there has been an update and restructure
of the Netball New Zealand Coach Development Framework. The
previous coach education format is being phased out.
The new framework is a lot more flexible and more about coaches
learning at their own rate and also learning in the areas where they
feel they need expertise. The new emphasis is more on how to coach
rather than what to coach.
to sit alongside their Scottwood Trust coach at the national
championships as an observer continues to flourish. As well as
spending time with “their’’ team during preparation and matches,
the apprentice attends daily workshops.
Level 2 and 3 courses, which will be phased out by 2008, have
continued to be well subscribed, indicating Netball New Zealand’s
coaching programmes are popular and sought–after.
A two–day coach and umpires workshop held around the third
Silver Ferns vs Australia test in Christchurch had a special focus
on the attacking circle. Former internationals Julie Carter, Natalie
Avellino and Belinda Colling were on hand to run different sessions
in relation to the attacking circle.
As well as the group Prime Ministers’s Scholarship, Yvette
McCausland–Durie, Annette Pearce and Robin Manihera also
received individual Netball coaching scholarships from SPARC for
2006. NNZ also acknowledges the investment SPARC is making in
sport development.
NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITY TRUST
CoachForce
With its influence across the regions, the benefits of the
SPARC initiated CoachForce programme supported since its
inception by New Zealand Community Trust has become a real
success story. This has resulted in increasing numbers joining
the Netball coaching ranks in New Zealand.
The athlete–focused, flexible and user–friendly, coaching framework
will allow coaches to concentrate on and obtain coaching
information and activities specific to the level of athlete they are
working with.
The development of coaching through the CoachForce
programme, where the roles of Adrienne Morrin, Ivy Topping,
Dianne McTigue and Robyn Broughton (part–time) act as team
leaders for the Netball Regions, has proved a valuable initiative
in all aspects of coaching.
A progression path has also been included in the framework, which
will be introduced next year, for coaches wanting to advance
through the levels.
Focus areas include developing confidence in coaching,
increasing the numbers of coaches and ensuring coaches have
access to the latest information.
Several National Coach Development initiatives conducted
throughout the year by the CoachForce team proved highly popular.
There is growing awareness that the CoachForce programme
offers support mechanisms for mentoring and confidence–
boosting. This has had the flow–on effect of the CoachForce
team’s expertise being used more extensively, and the value of
the CoachForce programme more widely recognised.
Respective former Silver Ferns and Australian coaches Lois Muir
and Jill McIntosh headlined the ``Talking Tactics’’ seminars held
in Wanganui, Napier, Nelson and Ashburton. The two coaching
maestros talked tactics in relation to some footage played from one
of the matches at the Commonwealth Games. An open and informal
question and answer session involving all participants followed.
The recipients of a SPARC group Prime Minister’s Scholarship
allowed Netball to conduct a High Performance workshop with US
men’s volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon as the keynote speaker.
This very successful two–day workshop was attended by all National
Bank Cup coaches, national coaches, Scottwood Trust coaches and
CoachForce personnel.
The exciting spin–off is that coaching is becoming a popular
way to be involved in Netball.
NZ COMMUNITY TRUST
Hockey coach Ian Rutledge and All Blacks assistant coach Steve
Hansen also attended and took part in coaching discussions.
Now into its third year, the apprentice coach programme, where
each Region has the opportunity to appoint an apprentice coach

CORPORATE SUPPORT
SPONSORS, FUNDERS & SUPPLIERS
Netball New Zealand would like to formally thank its sponsors and suppliers for THE valuable
assistance provided over the past year. Without this ongoing support, NNZ would not be able
to deliver its vision of making Netball a sport that is more visable, more exciting, more now.

Television New Zealand
Netball’s Official Television Broadcaster, TVNZ, continued to bring live coverage of New Zealand’s premier women’s sport to more households
during 2006. Ratings for The National Bank Cup showed significant increases with two matches a weekend being broadcast for viewers. TVNZ
provided extensive coverage of the Commonwealth Games and all Test matches involving the Silver Ferns this year were shown live. In total
there were 25 televised games on ONESport in 2006.
Asics
In a major new partnership, ASICS became the Official Sports Apparel Provider to Netball New Zealand in 2006. All National Squads, including
the Umpires and The National Bank Cup Franchises, sported new uniforms featuring the latest innovative fabrics and designs. Asics provided
the new Silver Ferns match dress, featuring the sublimated Silver Fern, which had its first outing at the Commonwealth Games, and design work
is in progress on a new dress for the 2007 World Netball Championships. The sportswear company is also an official Sports Footwear Provider
to NNZ.
Qantas
Official Netball New Zealand Airline partner Qantas continued its long and valuable relationship with the sport as the naming rights sponsor of
the Qantas National Umpire Squad and the Official Match Ball sponsor for all games hosted by Netball New Zealand. Additionally, Cure Kids is
the official charity of Qantas and in a unique attachment between Qantas and NNZ, fundraising initiatives are undertaken at many matches in
support of this worthy organisation. Donations are collected at all Silver Ferns home Test matches, and a child supported by the charity is chosen
to be the Official Ball Deliverer, taking the Qantas match ball onto court to start each televised game.
The Radio Network
The Radio Network is the Official Radio Broadcaster for Netball New Zealand and provides live coverage from many of the major games
including Test matches, The National Bank Cup and Scottwood Trust Netball Champs. The promotion of players and games receives wide support
across Radio Sport, Classic Hits, ZM and Newstalk ZB while former Australian captain Kathryn Harby–Williams and Kent Johns host a popular
weekly netball show, The Shooting Circle, each Wednesday evening during the season.
Ford
Into its second year as the Official Vehicle Provider to Netball New Zealand and the Silver Ferns, Ford has proved an excellent partner. The Silver
Ferns Experience, a promotion run on children’s television programme What Now? was launched ahead of the October tests. The competition
gave 10 lucky children and their guardian the opportunity to spend two days with the Silver Ferns in the lead–up to the first Test against
Australia in Wellington. The winners attended a closed practice session, had autograph and photographic opportunities with the team, a fun
lunch followed by an afternoon activity with a selection of Silver Ferns, as well as a session with coach Ruth Aitken about what it takes to play
for New Zealand.
Health 2000
A new signing for 2006, natural health retailer Health 2000 was Associate Sponsor for The National Bank Cup. During an extensive retail
campaign, Health 2000 stores provided huge support for local Franchises and helped nourish New Zealand’s elite netballers by providing access
to the latest supplements and nutritional advice.
NestlÉ
Nestlé has had a long and successful partnership with netball at varying levels and 2006 marked 19 years of involvement with the sport. Most
recently, Nestlé has supported the popular Milo Netball Discovery Days that are held in each of the 12 Regions for children between the ages of
eight and 12. Up to 150 children attend each day.
Chrisco
An associate sponsor of the Scottwood Trust Netball Champs, Chrisco is also the naming rights sponsor of the Chrisco Volunteer Awards
programme. For the first time Chrisco flew the four category winners and their partners to Auckland, to attend the Final of the Scottwood Trust
Netball Champs, where they were presented with their awards and Chrisco hamper gifts.
Mitre
As the official ball supplier to all Netball New Zealand events, Mitre has been a valued and integral partner to the sport of netball, through the
provision of Match and Supporter balls. The end of 2006 brought to a close this 16-year relationship.

THE NATIONAL BANK CUP
The National Bank Cup has evolved into a keenly anticipated and intensely fought competition between
New Zealand’s netballing elite. The stakes continue to grow and the level of competition provides the
perfect environment to foster high quality playing depth.
The rising popularity of the Franchise–based competition, which
celebrated its ninth year in 2006, has continued to gain momentum
and is testament to the quality of the on–court action. This was
demonstrated in the significant rise in the numbers watching the
competition on television where there was a 17 percent increase
in 2006, or an additional 700,000 pairs of viewing eyes over the
2005 figures.
This year’s ‘Take Sides’ marketing theme did just that among
supporters, who were treated to the most even and hotly contested
season yet, with the final make–up of the semifinalists not able to
be confirmed until after the last Round Robin games. Goal average
was needed to decide the order of the top four. In the end, Waikato/
Bay of Plenty Magic, supported by Sleepyhead, finished the 2006
season in style with an emphatic 67 – 43 win over the Ascot Park
Hotel Southern Sting in The National Bank Cup Final to secure back–
to–back titles. The final Franchise placings can be found below.
Points for the Player of the Match awards were accumulated
throughout The National Bank Cup, and tallied to find the attacker,
midcourter, defender and the overall Player of the Series at the end
of the competition. Winners this year were Maria Tutaia (attacker),
Temepara George (midcourter), and Vilimaina Davu (defender).
Overall Player of The National Bank Cup was Temepara George. In a
follow–up to the popular ‘The Silver Ferns Way to Play’ Netball book,
The National Bank produced the ‘Way to Play’ Netball DVD in 2006.
The demand for the DVD far exceeded expectations and copies
continue to be cut as its popularity shows little sign of abating.
The National Bank’s Netball Ambassador, Belinda Charteris,
continued to front the KIDZ Coaching Clinics that are held in
conjunction with The National Bank Cup each season. Franchise
volunteers helped administer these sessions, while Franchise players
helped Charteris conduct the clinics. More than 800 children
nationwide were given the opportunity to participate, learning key
netball skills from their role models.

SCOTTWOOD TRUST
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN NEW ZEALAND COMMUNITIES
Scottwood Trust has had a growing partnership with netball since 2003 and supported Netball New
Zealand’s Scottwood Trust Netball Champs for the second year in a row in 2006.
Scottwood Trust has also invested significant support to local
clubs and regional associations throughout the country and made
numerous grants to school netball teams. Scottwood Trust has
also committed funds to develop management infrastructures
throughout the country by funding a Regional Manager
programme, facilitating netball programmes and developing
regional competition.
Auckland Waitakere hosted the 2006 Scottwood Trust Netball
Champs which involved 12 First Grade and 10 Second Grade teams
from across the 12 Regions and featured 78 games during the
weeklong competition in September.
2006 marked the 80th anniversary of the national tournament
which was first played in 1926.
The battle for Regional supremacy retained its special standing in
the domestic netball calendar with many of the games at the 2006
event being closely contested and going down to the wire.
SCOTTWOOD TRUST
NETBALL CHAMPS
25 – 30 September 2006
The Trusts Stadium, Waitakere
Waikato gave their departing coach Nicole Dryden the perfect send–
off with a narrow 40 – 38 win over plucky home team Auckland
Waitakere in a tight First Grade final. It was the third New Zealand
Cup win for Waikato in the past four years.
In a double triumph for the Region, Waikato Premier took out the
President’s Shield with a comprehensive 64 – 44 win over North
Maroon in the Second Grade final.
The Scottwood Trust Regional Manager Programme continued to go
from strength to strength.
Each Region continues to develop its identity and increase its
capabilities. There were a few changes in personnel among the
Regional Managers this year with Melissa Walker contracted to
Netball North, Julie Paterson took over in Southland while Clare
Kissick took up the role in Western. At the end of 2006, Brendon
Rope replaced Tanya Dearns in Eastern. All of these people are well
positioned to take their Regions forward.

GAME DEVELOPMENT
GAME DEVELOPMENT
MANAGER
KATE AGNEW
THE SUCCESS OF NEW ZEALAND NETBALL RETAINING ITS STATUS AS THE TOP NETBALLING NATION IN THE WORLD RELIES
ON THE PROCESS OF CONTINUING TO DEVELOP THE GAME.
PARTICIPATION AND PATHWAYS
Twelve Milo Discovery Days were held throughout New Zealand in
2006, reaching into areas where elite Netballers are not often seen
in person. The targeted 11–13 year–old players are provided with
skill–based activities considered valuable for development along with
nutritional information. They have the opportunity to meet Silver
Ferns and elite role models who help conduct the skill sessions.
2006 was the first full year where the coach–focused system of
umpiring development was implemented. The establishment of
Regional panels to support umpires is now working very successfully
with each Region gaining in understanding of the required roles.
Netball New Zealand Panel members have been assigned Regions to
support and assist. The first endorsements and upgrades have been
completed with the rewarding and recognition of consistency of
performance the key emphasis. In a new initiative, a series of Rules
in Action workshops were held this year targeting umpires, coaches
and players with the aim to improve understanding of the rules and
how they are applied in the game.
The Bench Official’s role has attracted an increased interest,
including a rise in the number of young people on the bench. New
score sheets and an updated manual were introduced in 2006, while
11 National certification and revalidations were achieved.
Michelle Crawford continued as the co–ordinator of the
NetballSmart programme, generously supported by ACC. The
programme focus is on performance enhancement and ensuring
ongoing participation in netball. The Are You Ready?/Kua Rite Koe?
netballs in bright orange, white and black colours proved a popular
way to reinforce the messages around preparation and recovery.
Work in the development of links with and opportunities for Maori
in netball continue to grow through the efforts of Te Kaihautu,
Robin Manihera. Further successful hui were held in Southland, Bay
of Plenty and Counties Manukau.
This year’s NNZ run events – the Scottwood Trust Netball Champs,
the NZ Age Group Netball Championships and the Lion Foundation
NZ Secondary Schools Netball Champs were the most competitive
to date. There was an intense level of competition across the first
grade teams at the Scottwood Trust Netball Champs, providing the
backdrop to the final, which went down to the wire. The NZ Age
Group Netball Championships attracted 32 teams and produced a
high level of competitive games. Nine of the final day’s matches
ended in three goals or less margins with two requiring extra time to
produce the winners.
The regional secondary schools events attracted the highest number
of entries ever across all three areas with over 2,200 players
competing along with over 400 umpires and coaches. The Lion
Foundation NZ Secondary School Netball Champs proved to be more
competitive than ever culminating in an extra time final, eventually
won by Massey High for the second consecutive year.
LINKS WITH REGIONS
The Scottwood Trust Regional Managers Programme continues
to provide a high level of consistency and structure for the
administration and effectiveness of the Regions. The focus in 2006,
through the Regional Marketing and Sponsorship role undertaken
by Val Hayes, was on developing links with potential sponsors
and funders. This has resulted in a number of new initiatives and
increased awareness of the opportunities which netball can offer
to sponsors.
The fourth annual Lion Foundation Youth Council was held in
Auckland this year with discussions held on the latest ASICS
sports gear, the evaluation of NNZ events and other levels of
Netball. Youth Council members Becky Oliver (Canterbury) reported
back on her involvement with the Rules Review process while Sarah
Sharp (Waikato) and Kate Hamilton (North) reported back on their
involvement with the under–23 umpire’s development camp.
LEADING TO HIGH PERFORMANCE
The New Zealand Secondary Schools Development Camp with
30 triallists as well as the under–23 umpires development group
provided a new coach observation opportunity. This along with
the introduction of the Talent Development Programme provides
invaluable opportunities to identify and develop players, coaches
and umpires.
BEST PRACTICE
Themed “Success of the Year’’, the 2006 Regional Development
Forum produced a large number of sponsorship/funding–based
ideas. The highlights included – Buy a Bib (Eastern), Top Ten
(Tasman), Regional Leagues (Bay of Plenty and Counties Manukau).
The opportunity to share Regional umpiring and coaching strategies
and activities as well as information on initiatives by NNZ continued
to be of value.
In September, NNZ was delighted to receive a Highly Commended
award from the Maori Language Commission for the use and
integration of Te Reo into its resources and materials.
UmpirING
2006 proved another successful year for New Zealand umpires under the guidance of National Umpires
Squad coach Jan Teesdale and Development Squad coach Jan Skilton.
Highlights from the 2006 season were:
Alison Cormack was awarded an IUA, the International Umpiring Award.
Four umpires gained SPARC Prime Minister Scholarships – Bobbi
Brown travelled to Brisbane and umpired in the Commonwealth
Bank Trophy in Australia; Alison Cormack travelled to Melbourne
and umpired Commonwealth Games preparation matches; Yvonne
Morgan travelled to Perth and umpired some matches; Mandy
Nottingham travelled to England and umpired matches in the
English Super League.
Development level. A new umpiring structure was introduced and
regions enthusiastically came on board. Sixteen new umpires gained
their NZ Qualifying Award bringing the total number of NZ Umpires
to 151.
Seven Rules in Action workshops were run around the country.
Coaches, umpires and players engaged in robust discussion on rules
relating to the centre pass.
A very successful Coach Umpire Workshop was run along side the
third test of the Fisher & Paykel Series in Christchurch in October.
The highlight of this workshop was an excellent agility and speed
session run by Matthew Ingram of Canterbury University and
visiting expert Dr Duncan Mascaren from Scotland who is assisting
umpires in New Zealand to develop coherent decision making.
A number of our Squad umpires were appointed by the International
Umpiring Committee (IUC) to officiate at matches and events
throughout the netball world. Special mention is made of the four
umpires who were appointed to umpire at the Commonwealth
Games in Melbourne in March. They were Bobbi Brown, Bronwyn
Meek, Mandy Nottingham and Pauline Sciascia. Mandy umpired the
semi-final match between England and Australia.
A special tribute to Dawn Jones who has stepped down from the
position of NZ Theory Moderator after many years serving in this
role and many other areas of Umpiring for Netball New Zealand.
Mandy Nottingham has been appointed as Dawn’s replacement.
2006 was also a successful year for umpires at the Game

MAI I TE TUMUAKI
from the PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT
FAY FREEMAN ONZM
As president of Netball New Zealand and representative of the netball community
I would like to extend congratulations to the Silver Ferns, for achieving their first
ever gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.
The 2006 Netball New Zealand Council Meeting was held at the Langham Hotel, Auckland on 25–26 February. NNZ Service Awards were
presented to: Norma Bates (North), Maree Bernasconi (Pukekohe Netball Centre), Annette Parkinson (Manawatu Netball Centre), Noeline
Ramsey (Counties Manukau) and Rebecca Tukukino (Bay of Plenty). A NNZ Life Membership Award was presented to Sheryl Wells, former Silver
Ferns Manager. Sheryl’s husband, John Wells, Chair of SPARC was in the audience to see Sheryl receive her award.
Many other people involved in Netball performed superbly this year. At the Scottwood Trust Netball Champs the recipients of the fourth
annual Chrisco Netball Volunteer awards were recognised on centre stage. The recipients for 2006 were: Margaret Marsh (Canterbury) Rachel
Whitcombe (Canterbury), Louise McDonald (Bay of Plenty) and Lee–Anne Clark (Auckland Waitakere).
It is appropriate to acknowledge at this time all those netball volunteers who have passed away during the year. In particular we acknowledge
the loss of NNZ Service Award holder, Mrs Shirley Smith who served on the NNZ Executive and was a member of the 1975 World Tournament
organising committee. Another NNZ Service Award holder and Manawatu Life Member Mrs Irene Gurr died suddenly but peacefully in August.
I wish to acknowledge and thank all of the volunteers who have stepped up in 2006 so that Netball remains the number one sport for women
in New Zealand. We acknowledge and thank also our Patron, Dame Silvia Cartwright who has now left New Zealand to take up an important
overseas posting.
In my final report as President of NNZ, I would take the opportunity to thank you for your support through my term and wish my successor all
the very best.
Fay Freeman ONZM, President
TRIBUTE – NETBALL NEW ZEALAND LIFE MEMBERS
Honoured for their outstanding contribution to netball for a range of services over the years, Netball New
Zealand’s select band of Life Members made a rare appearance at THE 2006 Scottwood Trust Netball Champs.
This special group who have left their mark on the sport in so many ways, had plenty of time to reminisce at
a lunchEON held in their honour as well as taking in some of the on-court action.
It was the first such gathering of the Life Members en masse and a tribute to their many years of service at local, regional and international
level. The 14 who attended spoke of their involvement in the sport and the highlights of their netball careers which included managing
National teams, serving on the International executive, organising World Championship events in New Zealand, participating in International
Council meetings, umpiring International matches, fulfilling vital administrative roles and coaching the Silver Ferns.
For some, the days of active participation belong to another era but it is a measure of the quality of the Life Members that their on-going
passion for netball remains undiminished.
