In the Zone – February 2019
CEO Update
On 23 February, Netball New Zealand held their annual Council meeting and it was great to
see so many of Northern Netball Centres in attendance. The aspect I like most about
Council is the presentation of Service Awards. Netball cannot survive without the efforts
of every single volunteer, and we thank everyone that contributes to quality netball
experiences. The Service Awards provide an opportunity to acknowledge those volunteers
who have been involved in netball for an extended period. 2019 Service Award recipients
from Northern are Lyn Barr (North Harbour), Lillian Cattell (Manurewa), Elaine Curtis
(Waitakere), Gail Griffiths (North Harbour), Marcia Hardcastle (North Harbour), Lee Manaia
(Manurewa) and Zora Vitasovich (Waitakere). Thank you all for your efforts.
Netball Manurewa Open Day a huge success
Netball Manurewa held its first Open Day on
Saturday 16thFebruary 2019. The desire was to
showcase the Netball Centre to the Manurewa
Community for FREE. Clendon Park School
opened the day with a beautiful kapa haka
performance.
A variety of stalls showcased FutureFERNS,
NetballSmart, Player Development Programme
and clubs taking registrations. Demonstration
games of Walking Netball and an adult version of
6v6 were very popular. The Netball Leaders
group were big helpers on the day. Storm Purvis
from the Northern Stars added special assistance
at the netball stations. Well done Netball
Manurewa along with your sponsors and
volunteers who delivered such a successful day.
Mangonui Community Led approach to addressing Sideline Behaviour
Mangonui Netball Centre have taken a very personal approach to addressing side-line
behaviour. New posters use people from their own community to let their netball
community know how much they value their volunteers. The posters provide a useful
reminder of the real people who can be hurt by poor side-line behaviour. The hope is seeing
their own people in the posters will provide a real connection for the netball whanau.

St Mary’s College Netball Leaders
Netball Northern Zone in partnership with
Auckland Netball Centre delivered Netball
Leaders to 27 St Mary’s College students. The
two day leadership course provided a deep
learning about leadership with all students
walking away with positive learning. All 27
students have completed coach and umpire
training which will be applied over the 2019
season. We were also very lucky to have 10
Netball Leaders assist at the Mystics Open Day
on 17 February 2019, where the amazing
leadership and communication skills were on
display. Thank you and good luck for the season.
NZPP Northland Cluster Coaches got to observe
“game day” processes for the coaches and
athletes of the Northern Marvels. It was a great
opportunity for our Northland Coaches to share
questions and conversations with each other, Tia
Winikerei Northern Zone Performance Manager
and Ripeka Pire, Head Coach Northern Marvels.
This opportunity resulted from the commitment
and hard work of the Northland EPP Coaches
since the Northland programme started in
October 2018.
Northern Zone Coach Developer Forum
23 brightly clad Coach Developers from
across the Zone, gathered at Trusts Arena
for the 2019 Coach Developers Forum. The
theme of “Let’s Get Physical” rang true
throughout the day.
These amazing Coach Developers were put
to the test of delivering parts of our
coaching modules in an interactive, fun,
physical, less complicated and engaging
manner to meet the needs of coaches.
The forum was supported by the expert
Coach Leads from across NZ who shared
their tips and tricks to deliver a workshop.
A lot of laughs and knowledge shared meant that our Coach Developers walked away feeling more
confident in their workshop delivery. Special congratulations to Kathryn Stonehouse from Howick
Pakuranga Netball Centre who won best dressed. Olivia Newton John would be proud! #YOUROCK!

Raewyn Mills’ tenure as President comes to an end
Raewyn has been a member of Papakura Netball Centre for 50 years and for 40
years, has held an official role with the Centre Executive or Umpire Committee.
Raewyn was instrumental in many futuristic endeavors of Papakura Netball
Centre over the years starting with initiating the Association’s first ever Umpiring
“Whistlers”, which was an innovative and successful club for beginner umpires.
Raewyn was part of the forward thinking group of the Papakura Netball
Association members who dreamed of owning their own netball pavilion.
Dedication and hard work came to fruition in 1997, when Papakura Netball
Centre moved from Smiths Ave courts to the new 27 outdoor courts and newly
built pavilion. It was a dream come true after sixty years of hard work, lobbying
fundraising, begging, and fighting for netball in the Papakura community.
Raewyn, remaining with the futuristic and forward-thinking theme, also instigated
the Papakura Netball Centre working group who negotiated the new 6 court
indoor venue which opened in 2017.
With 50 years affiliation to Papakura Netball Centre, 22 years on the Umpires
Committee and 18 years as President, Raewyn is the heart and soul of the Centre
and has dedicated many volunteer hours to ensure netball can be enjoyed by the
Papakura and wider Counties Manukau community.
Umpire Coach Assessor Training CAT Workshops in March
During March, Netball Northern are holding CAT Workshops at Netball Centres across
the Zone. The Umpire Coach Assessor Training (CAT) workshops are an important
training opportunity to provide Umpire Coaches with the skills and knowledge to coach
and develop umpires at each level with all Umpire Coaches attending one workshop
each year to stay current.
Knowledgeable and competent Umpire Coaches and Umpire Coach Assessors are vital
to support umpires in developing and achieving high standards of umpiring and
accreditation. The role of the Umpire Coach and Umpire Assessor is to empower
umpires by using effective coaching methods that promote Umpire Centred Learning
(UCL). Netball Northern are very pleased to have over 30 new Umpire Coach
applications in 2019. The increased capacity will help our centres to grow, develop and
support umpires and encourage progression along the umpire pathway.
NetballSmart in Coach Modules
NetballSmart is delivering alongside
other Community Coach Modules. A
recent Developing Physical Capacity
workshop at Howick Pakuranga Netball
Centre had great attendance.
The workshop has been updated to be a
practical approach to applying the six
components of NetballSmart. Coaches
had an opportunity to get creative turning elements of the NetballSmart Warm-up into
drills and how to implement principals of smart movements in their training sessions.
