WELCOME TO THE 2015 NETBALL SEASON
Welcome to the 2015 RHS Netball Season and our first Newsletter of the season.
NETBALL NEWS
We are pleased to advise that all our trials have been held and we have a total of
17 Teams – 1 up on 2014.
Congratulations to all players, you made the selectors jobs very difficult and it is
great to see the high standard of Netball being played from Year 9 right through
to Year 13.
A big thank you must go out to all our selectors and umpires who gave up their
time to volunteer for such a hard job!!! All the teams look fantastic and we are
looking forward to a very exciting 2015 season.
We are currently in the process of finalising team Coaches and Managers, once
this is done they will be in touch to organise team trainings. In the meantime
please keep up your own fitness ready
for the season ahead.
We are pleased to announce that this
year we have purchased 180 new
dresses, which is fantastic news. This of
course was an expensive exercise but
will be worth it to have all the players/
teams in the same dresses and looking
nice and unified.
We have many plans for 2015 and beyond and this is the first step in moving
forward and installing a valued culture
within RHS Netball.
Netball is one of the largest sports
played at RHS and along with having
so many Netballers out there playing
comes a lot of necessary background
work to be completed. We are lucky to
now have a small group of volunteers
helping the school in making sure
Netball continues to thrive. This small
group have been brain storming over
the summer months and have come up
with some fantastic ideas to make RHS
Netball a force to be reckoned with!!!.
If anyone has some ideas or suggestions
that they would like to share, please feel
free to let us know.

of the Player Developement
Programme which is run by
North Canterbruy Netball
Centre. A large number of
Rangiora High School netball
players have benefited from
the 10 week programme
that was offered to North
Canterbury Netballers.
Over the 10 week programme the girls participated in Skills and Drills and
Fitness.
Gemma Hazeldine from the
Tactix Netball Team took
the girls through a 10 week
programme invovling skills,
drills and fitness.
On the last night of the
programme Gemma arranged for Mwai Kumwenda
, Bailey Mes and Zoe Walker
her fellow team mates from
the Tactix to attend and join
in for the session. Caitlyn
Hepworth was the last girl
standing in the goal shootout competition, beating all
3 Tactix shooters. Well done
Caitlyn.
Rangiora
High
School
Netball thanks North Canterbury Netball Centre for
offering such a wonderful
programme which benefits
so many netballers.
Our Senior Coaches
Our Senior A Coach for the 2015 season is Amy Eckersley. Amy joined the Netball Mainland team in 2012 as
the Youth Development Officer and in November 2014 took over the role as Community Netball Manager.
Amy is responsible for supporting the Netball Centres in the Mainland Zone to grow and sustain participation numbers for players, coaches, officials and administrators. Amy has a Bachelor of Sports Coaching from
University of Canterbury and this will be her 3rd year with the
RHS Senior A team.
Amy is supported this year by Hayley Fletcher as Assistant
Coach. Hayley is born and bred Rangiora High School Girl and
a very talented netballer having played at Premier level and
represented Canterbury Country. Hayley has been involved
in North Canterbruy Netball in roles as President of Ashley
Netball Club, as a coach, selector and umpire. It is exciting to
have Hayley with school netball this year.
SPONSORSHIP
One of our goals is to have all the girls wearing the RHS black
hoodies as soon as we can. Therefore we want to put this out to
the RHS Netball community and see if there are potential sponsors
out there who would be willing to contribute to this.
To purchase a Team set of 10 RHS black hoodies it is an approximate cost of $500.00. This includes the printing of the RHS logo on
the left chest, Rangiora down one sleeve and of course the players
last name on the lower back. We envisage that the sponsors logo
would either go on the right chest or on the other sleeve.
If you would like to sponsor a team, your daughters team or know of
anyone out there who would be keen to sponsor a team we would
love your help to be able to achieve this goal for the 2015 season.
Therefore if you are interested please make contact with either
Wendy Cathcart or, Leigh Bolton 311 8888 ext 506 or our RHS Netball
Funding/Sponsorship Co-Ordinator Mel Calvert on 027 306 8148.
Pictured above is last
years 10A Team at Grand
Finals Day wearing the
RHS black hoodies.
FUNDRAISING
This year we are planning on doing a raffle. This is the first time in many years that we have organised
fundraising and for some of you perhaps the only one you will ever do for RHS Netball.
We have a massive wish list of items, all of which will benefit everyone. We feel the only way to be able to
achieve this quickly is to fundraise.
We already have some sponsored items for the raffle, however we will be asking each player to donate a
small grocery item and sell tickets so we can make this fundraiser as successful as possible.
This is only a little heads up and details of the raffle will come out at a later date.
