Papakura Netball Centre Weekly Update

BE THEIR BIGGEST FAN, BE A GOOD SPORT!

Good Sports® is all about creating positive sporting experiences for children and young people. It does this by supporting and educating parents, caregivers, coaches, teachers and sport leaders, who all contribute to children’s sport.

Netball is one of the national sport organisations that promotes the Good Sports philosophy.

Both practitioners and researchers agree that many issues in youth sport stem from adult involvement. These issues include poor side-line behaviour, overuse injury, burnout and disaffection with sport - and they can hinder success on and off the Netball court.

To address these issues and give children and young people the best chance of developing a lifelong love of sport, Good Sports focuses on raising adults’ awareness about their behaviours in youth sport and, if necessary, promoting a positive shift in that behaviour.

Unacceptable side line and on court behaviour is not acceptable here at Papakura Netball Centre.

DID YOU KNOW?

If you have ANY issues during a Saturday game you can call for the Duty Umpire? All you have to do is send ANYONE to the Control Room and let them know what court.

Duty Umpires are able to come and observe the game, support and coach the umpires controlling the game, provide rule clarifications and help diffuse situations.

On Saturdays we have rostered Duty Umpires. On other days we have staff members and volunteers available.

Year 5&6 Grade Reminders:

Year 5&6 is a non competition grade. We ask you to use the online scoring app to:
- Prepare coaches and managers to Year 7&8.
- So that the office can move teams around when required.
ALL PLAYERS MUST be rotated each quater: Players should be given the oppourtunity to explore each position throughout the season. They should NOT be specialising in any one position yet.
The skills and tactics are introduced in a progressive manner, building on the foundation skills.
Focus on developing all-round player development and, each week, see the improvements in the individuals and the team.
The Umpires of your Games are learning too - they are also your own umpires from your clubs. They require support as well, from coaches, players and sideline spectators. Year 5&6 is where umpires begin their umpire journey.
MOST OF ALL - KEEP IT FUN!
