NORTHERN ZONE NEWSLETTER | MARCH 2024

I hope everyone had a very enjoyable Easter break. The weather turned out pretty good, which made it even better!

It marks the end of summer and the beginning of netball season for most! The ANZ Premiership and Synergy Hair National Netball League is just a couple of weeks away from starting, and I know all the Centres will be humming with activity as the winter season gets underway.

As a parent of two daughters who are keen netballers, I know I will be spending plenty of time courtside this winter!

Thank you to everyone that joined us for the Zone AGM last week. It was a pleasure to see you all online, and hopefully many will be able to make the Centre Connect session on the 5th May.

Thank you to those of you that made a submission to the Auckland Council Long Term Plan. Whilst it might seem that one submission won’t make a difference the collective voice of Sport and Recreation certainly can. For those of you in Northland you still have time, with submissions to the Northland Regional Council LTP closing on the 19th April. Read
on for more information!

As you will see throughout the newsletter, there is plenty going on, and there are plenty of opportunities on offer to upskill our very important volunteers. Please encourage the people in your Centre to take up these opportunities. It was great to see the Good Sports workshop get underway at Papakura Netball Centre – there are resources available to help anyone that wants to know more about this important area.

We are pleased to launch an extended Scouting Group this season. We are calling for Expressions of Interest for representatives who would like to be part of the Northern Zone scouting group. The objective of this group would be to identify players with the potential to play performance and high-performance netball in the future. More details can be found later in the newsletter. Please encourage any interested people to put their name forward.

Good luck for the season ahead – I look forward to seeing the courts filled with happy people and giving netball their best.

Please do get in touch if you need support or assistance from the Zone team. We are here to help!
