Best practice guidelines, templates and governance resources for Netball Centre Management.

Empowering dynamic leadership, innovation and operational excellence.

Introduction

As a Netball Centre, there are different requirements about what policies and documents you need to adopt, follow, report and review. Our aim is to provide Centres with links to examples, templates and the resources needed to act as a best practice tool kit.

This content aims to assist small to medium size Netball Centres in New Zealand, however it’s still relevant to larger Centres too. These resources will be added to over time.

It is not intended that every Netball Centre have all of these policies and documents. This is a guideline so please discuss and select what is most relevant and important for your Centre.

The minimum Centre requirements are:

• Be registered as an Incorporated Society
• Have a Centre Constitution
• Have Centre Regulations
• Hold an annual AGM
• Have a Health & Safety Policy with Risk Management and Incident/Accident Reporting Processes
• Have a Safe Netball for Children Policy
• Other policies if not covered in your constitution: Conflict of Interest Policy, Privacy Policy
• Produce an Annual Report (including Financial Report)
• Keep a Register of Members
• Complete a bi-annual Membership Return to Zone/NNZ
• Have an annual Centre Plan
• Have an annual Budget

We have used an asterisk (*) to identify resources which are required either as an Incorporated Society or by NNZ. These documents are listed under “Essential documents”.

A double asterisk (**) means a policy or document is highly recommended. You do not have to have the specific policy that we offer an example of here, the intention is to let you know that you need it.

Resources/ guidance on specific programme areas such as coaching, umpiring have not been included here. This is intended as a high-level Centre overview. Coaching and Umpiring resources can be found on NNZ Sport Tutor or the NNZ Resource Library.

Feedback: Centres, if you have a template you are happy to share or any feedback/ requests about content, please send it to Jenna (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
