Facebook Page for Waikanae School Netball

After this season it has become evident that a 'go to' place for people to find information is on Facebook rather than a blog.

If you are interested in being part of the Waikanae School Netball community on Facebook, please click on the link below.

I will still try to maintain the blog for those who visit it frequently however the Facebook group will be updated more often.

FINALS DAY

FINALS DAY DRAW - click here for the draw for finals day 17th of September 2016.   

IMPORTANT - PRIMARY UMPIRES Please note that on primary games – you will NOT BE UMPIRING YOUR OWN TEAMS – your umpire is are allocated to a different team and different timeslot – this is to ensure impartiality.  It is so important that your team umpire is available at their allocated time.  Please check the draw carefully.  If your team umpire does not show up for the game that they have been allocated to then this could affect your teams’ standings.


Primary prizegiving is at 11am and Senior Prizegiving follows the final of the Premier Final at approx 2.45pm

Important Season Information

Hi All

Given the weather of the last two weeks and the ongoing unpredictability of the weather this season and with only 6 playing days remaining before the handover deadline of the Netball courts for the summer season to the Tennis club the board has decided that a variation to the publish competition schedule will be made.

This change will return the final scheduled season playing Saturday (24th of September) into the pool as a reserve day (currently we have none) and will bring the final scheduled playing day back within the school term window.

In order to facilitate this there is a need to modify the finals series from the current three-week series to a two week finals series. This will now take the format as below

Week one (Saturday 10 September) Semi Finals - 1st in grade plays 4th in grade, 2nd in grade plays 3rd in grade, 5th/6th playoff if applicable)
Week two (Saturday 17th September) Finals Day - winner of the two semi-finals play off in the final - all other teams finished

Finally, we know many have experienced the cold and wet conditions over the past few playing Saturdays and while netball is a winter sport we are aware that there are many views in our netball community about play continuing on these days and should a call have been made to cancel. The decision to either cancel or play Netball each Saturday is not one taken lightly and is not made by one person. The process involves input from both weather forecasts, live information such as rain radar images as well as inputs from people on the ground at the courts in real time. Many of our board members and officials are at the courts from 7.30am on a playing day till long after play has concluded for the day and many experience the weather conditions just as our players and spectators do. While they do their best to ensure that the correct calls are made each Saturday during the season this can prove challenging when conditions are changing over the course of the day round to round.

We would like to assure all our netball members that the board regularly reviews the decisions made with the aim of continuous improvement and the decisions regarding play from the last two Saturdays will be subject to this review process for future playing days/seasons with learnings factored in

Regards

JR

Dear Clubs, Colleges and Primary Schools

Netball Kapiti is tremendously proud of the Umpires that are placed on your players’ games.  We are working hard to develop all of our umpires, particularly our up and coming Junior Umpires.

Sadly, there has been two separate incidents on the last two playing Saturdays where two of our Junior Umpires were tormented, bullied and abused by senior players.

This is extremely disappointing to say the least.  The two umpires who were subjected to this behaviour are two of our most valued and talented umpires and to have them exposed to such disgusting behaviour where they were distraught after their games is categorically unacceptable.

If such behaviour is witnessed again by anyone towards an official, another player or spectator the person/s in question will be removed from the courts immediately.  The Netball Kapiti Disciplinary Committee will be informed and further disciplinary action may arise.

Netball Kapiti urge that you please speak to all your players/coaches etc about their conduct at the courts and that players must respect the decisions made by the umpires.  There will always be decisions players are unhappy with however players must abide by these decisions regardless of the outcome of the game.

If anyone has concerns during a game for any reason PLEASE send someone to the Control Room and an On Duty Board Member or Senior Umpire will be sent to the court.

COACHING clinic - Dennis Slade

Teaching games for understanding coaching course – Dennis Slade, Massey University

This unique course presents a game based teaching and coaching alternative to traditional methods of coaching sport at primary level.

slade-dennis-2009-01.jpgAbout Dennis Slade.
Dennis Slade is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Education at Massey University. Dennis has published several books and numerous articles on Game-sense and TGfU (Teaching Games for Understanding) and currently provides practical Game-sense workshops for various sporting organisations e.g., Netball New Zealand. His TGfU inspired CD-ROM Stick2hockey was officially adopted and distributed to all FIH affiliated hockey playing countries in 2010 as their small-sided games approach to teaching hockey to novices.



Who should attend?
All coaches can benefit from this course.  Both new coaches, experienced coaches and those interested in coaching will benefit from learning how this approach can create a more positive first impression of sport than traditional skill based approaches.
What?
Understanding team formations, finding space and developing a wide external vision within game centred learning contexts
In this course the method of play practice will be employed to demonstrate teaching shape in games and to introduce coaches to tactical games that are fun and competitive and employ implicit learning concepts. In addition, issues of mandate coaching, mastery learning and individual goal setting will be discussed as a means of improving individual technique and making effective use of team practice time
When?
Sunday the 10th April 2016 from 10:00am to Midday
Where?
Waikanae School, Seddon Street, Waikanae (entrance off Hira Street)
