Exciting umpire news from our zone, with SASHA MCLEOD (Wakatipu) achieving the very prestigious International Umpire Award (IUA), successfully endorsed by World Netball during ANZ Premiership in April 2023.
NetballSmart engagement across the zone remains at an all-time high with our NetballSmart Development Officer, Gwen, delivering 20 workshops alone across the month of May.
Netball South have been supporting netball centres throughout our zone to deliver U14, U16 and U18 development sessions to help prepare players for their centre representative trials.
It has been a busy start to the season with many coaches across the zone keen to engage in coach development.
It was fantastic to see South Otago take the opportunity to run the Get Ready For Netball Programme for their year 5&6 and year 7&8 players in April with the support of Netball South staff Lana Morrison and Gwen Harrop.
A warm welcome to the beginning of the 2023 season.
The Real Steel Southern Roadie has been a huge success bringing our Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel players into our community.
It has been a fabulous start to 2023 with NetballSmart engagement through term 1 hitting a record high.
