From the Board Chair and Chief Executive On behalf of the directors and staff, greetings and welcome to the ninth annual report of Netball South Zone Incorporated for the year ended 30 November 2021. This year will be known in the South for the recovery achieved by the zone and centres as we reclaimed the majority of our competitions after the disruption to 2020 caused by Covid-19. We say majority because unfortunately, our competitions were not entirely free of infection. The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel was able to get through its entire ANZ Premiership season without impact, but several of the South Centres’ community competitions and a few of our own zone tournaments were not so lucky. The return of Covid-19 in the form of the Delta variant in August cut some competitions short and unfortunately, hardearned semi-final and final berths were not realised for many teams. For the Zone’s Netball Development Managers working one-onone with South Centres, it was impressive to see the learnings of 2020 come to the fore as centre committees and staff navigated late disruptions to their season. Their ability to adapt, make sound decisions and manage change with confidence in a pandemic impacted world was strong. If there was one thing Netball South observed more impressive than the Centres’ ability to adapt, was the ability to recover. The shortened, late and heavily disrupted season of the previous year caused a 13% reduction to participation levels across the zone. It is a credit to the diligent work of our centre committees and staff to replenish their volunteer ranks and plan and deliver competitions, that participation rose by 10.9% in 2021. Overall, the South is just 2.8% shy of the participation levels of the pre-Covid 2019 season. The three centres in the Central Lakes area; Wakatipu, Upper Clutha and Central Otago Netball Centres deserve special mention. While finding volunteers can be a massive challenge for these centres, often leaving the running of competitions to a small handful of dedicated enthusiastic volunteers, their ability to raise the profile of netball in schools and attract new participants is exceptionally strong. In a study of participant trends in these centres, Netball South’s Georgie Bryce discovered 8% growth in juniors playing netball since 2019, a growth rate that is 2.2% higher than population growth in this age group. The trend is even stronger for secondary school level netball. Growth was 16% in the same period, 4.4% higher than secondary school student population growth. This is an exceptional achievement by these three centres.
of the good work happening in Centres. Our members are generally satisfied with their netball experience, but if we hold the bar a little higher and look at the top five characteristics that our members are very to extremely satisfied with, they include; the clean and well-maintained facilities centres provide (70%), the safe environment (64%), the friendly and welcoming atmosphere (63%), the well-maintained courts (62%) and the good sportsmanship and fair play (62%). Our members are significantly happier across these attributes compared with the national averages. The survey also gives insights to the areas of improvement opportunity which for the South is similar to the national picture. Our members believe improvement opportunities lie in the quality of officiating (20%) and the availability of player development opportunities (17%). We were pleased to see 67% of South members agree they receive value for money from their netball experience compared with 62% nationally. Netball’s future vision of Poipoia talks about the importance of affordability of netball. Netball centres in the South are clearly working hard to ensure that vision is a reality at the grassroots. It is fair to say there are centres in the South Zone who saw 2021 as more than a season for recovery. In the spirit of Poipoia, centres such as Dunedin and Invercargill moved forward with numerous innovations to either improve the netball experience of existing members or create new offerings for new members. Netball South was delighted to partner with the Dunedin Netball Centre (DNC) to offer a netball leadership programme for Maori and Pasifika secondary school netball players in 2021. Featured on One News, the six-week programme was led by Southern Steel shooting sensation Tiana Metuarau and coordinated jointly by staff at DNC and Netball South. Another innovation run by Invercargill Netball Centre (INC) was the Term Four competition for Secondary School boys only. INC have led strongly in the men and boys’ netball space for several years. Their men’s netball competition is four years old, building a strong profile for netball for males in Invercargill. So, when the feelers went out for a new netball competition for boys, they were delighted to see 14 team registrations flowing in. The centre experienced considerable loss of centre personnel just ahead of that competition and still managed to forge ahead for the benefit of those 14 teams. A credit to the INC committee and the staff remaining at the centre. These initiatives are Poipoia at its best as centres begin to consider the differing needs of their members and experiment with innovation to their competitions and events. Netball South has a vital role to provide player development pathways and 2021 was a good year. After the disappointment of a twice cancelled Beko National Netball League season in 2020, the Southern Blast, ably led by Head Coach Jo Morrison, was grateful to have a 2021 National Netball League to compete in.
Recently, Netball New Zealand Jennie Wyllie publicly reported participation rose by 1% for the country in 2021 compared with the 2020 season. When we compare our overall participation growth of 10.9% to 1% for the country, we can be proud of our efforts. But while it is good to acknowledge our achievement, we also need to spare a thought for our extended netball whanau in the centres of the Northern Zone. Covid-19 severely impacted their competitions earlier than ours and over a longer period. When we look deeper into participation trends, we see steady growth and recovery in the secondary school and adult netball categories, but junior numbers are more volatile across the centres. As the zone and centres work together planning for 2022, participation initiatives in the junior space will be a focus. The release of the annual Voice of the Participant (VOP) satisfaction survey results brings more colour to the picture

To increase the visibility of the zone pathway, the talent development programme was refreshed, and connection established with the development coordinators at centres. They played an important part in helping Netball South identify talent for development programmes at various tournaments. Netball South had a record number of players make the Netball New Zealand development camp in Ashburton with several putting their hand up for NZ Secondary School trials. Netball South puts significant time and energy into the preparation of these players for these camps, so we were delighted to see how well prepared and competitive they were. VOP survey feedback continues to emphasise how important player development programmes are for members. In 2022 we will work even more closely with centres to help local programmes get off the ground.
knowledge of the game at both grassroots and governance levels will be sorely missed. Likewise, having served the Board for nine years, appointed director, Alastair Mckenzie also steps down. As previous Deputy Chair and Chair of the Audit and Risk subcommittee Alastair’s commercial focus was a strength for the Board. We wish Alastair and Adrienne all the best. In 2021, one of our great Dunedin Netball Centre volunteer legends, Colleen Lyons, was awarded a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to netball and education in July’s Queen’s Birthday Honours List. Colleen has given generously of her time and energy for decades fulfilling every role possible from umpire to coach, secretary to Board member and this recognition of her contribution was richly deserved.
The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel welcomed five new young exciting players at the induction of the 2021 ANZ Premiership pre-season. Retaining our experienced coaching and management team led by Reinga Bloxham was key to a highperformance environment that brought out the best in these players. Not fancied by the commentators after a six game-six loss pre-season record, this young team shocked many with an 18-goal win in their first-round robin game against The Trident Homes Tactix. It was an exciting beginning to a heart-stopping season that saw the team win 10 of their 14 round robin games and hosting the Elimination Final in Invercargill. Three Steel players went on to be selected for the Silver Ferns while English player George Fisher was selected for the Roses. This team has a very special culture captured in the fresh new design of its dress and brought to life by the players. Since the establishment of Netball South nine years ago, one of the strategic goals of the zone has been the financial sustainability of not only Netball South but the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel as an independent entity. This was under significant pressure in 2021. In the aftermath of 2020 our most significant funder, the ILT, alerted the sporting community as a whole that funding in the following year would be halved. This alert occurred three months ahead of our preparation of the 2021 operating budget and was vital to our ability to prepare for the coming financial year. When one stream falters, it is a sign of organisational resilience if others are able to pick up the load. At first ticket sales were bleak when membership sales dropped by 29% as long-term loyal members opted not to return after the Ticket Rocket debacle of 2020. Fortunately, thanks to some clever marketing, casual sales were stronger than normal, particularly toward to end of the season, offsetting the impact of reduced membership sales.
It’s been a 14-year high octane journey for Sonya Fleming, Netball South’s Event Manager. On 24 July 2021, she reached an outstanding milestone of 100 games she has presided over as Event Manager, making magic happen across both the ANZ Championship and Premiership for loyal Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel fans and partners. It was a fantastic occasion to see Sonya’s achievement recognised and we are hugely grateful for the masterclass expertise she has amassed and perpetual passion she brings to her work every day.
The heroes for revenue however were our commercial partners. It is quite special to have an increase in sponsorship cash of 24% from new and existing partners the year after a Covid-impacted 2020. Our family of sponsors held strong in 2021 while new partners were welcomed. While these revenue streams played their part, our staff worked incredibly hard to keep a lid on costs and make ends meet. We ended the financial year with a $7,000 surplus for Netball South and a breakeven, small positive surplus of $485 for the Southern Steel. We are very proud of this financial result and wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff of Netball South for working so hard to operate within our means. As we farewelled Paul Buckner, Kerry Seymour and Colin Weatherall from the Netball South Board in March 2021, we were pleased to be joined by Noelene Scott, elected director from South Otago, and Jackie Barron, the NNZ representative replacing Colin Weatherall, from Dunedin. Existing appointed director Dean Johnston moved into the role of Chairman. During the 2021 AGM we will be very sad to see the retirement of elected director, Adrienne Ensor from the Board after nine years of exemplary service to the Zone. Like Paul and Kerry before her, Adrienne has exhausted the constitution’s maximum limit of three terms of three years. Adrienne’s wisdom and vast

Netball South thanks the volunteers and staff at the centres for their passion and commitment to the game, and the Steel family of funders, commercial partners and fans for their unwavering support. And a big well done to the Netball South staff and Board for a great year of hard work and success.

Community Entering 2021 after the New Year break, Netball South’s team were refreshed and ready to go. Prior to Christmas the team’s work with centres to plan and prepare had gone very well and calendars of tournaments and development opportunities were released, setting schools and centres up with a clear view of delivery in Term 1 and beyond. The team were given special leave of an additional two weeks to extend their Christmas break. Approved by the Netball South Board, it was well-deserved recognition of a grueling year that was 2020, but also the reductions in remuneration taken by most Netball South Zone staff during the lockdowns of the previous year. During the first quarter, our community team ploughed into their work, with player and coach development, in particular springing forward. The strong numbers and positive feedback our team got to their development delivery was reassuring for a community team that was operating under a dark cloud of uncertainty. On 14 March, they watched a presentation by NNZ to the Centres at Netball South’s AGM whereby the Centres were shown newly established variations of structures for regional support in WaiBOP and Mainland. It was a theoretical discussion meant to expand the thinking of centres, but for the zone staff attending the meeting, who knew transformations in Mainland and WaiBOP had resulted in significant downsizing and job redundancies, it was disheartening. It is testimony to the character and resilience of the community team, that they were able to muster their energy and passion for their roles, stay focused on their operating plans and continue support and delivery for the balance of the year. As the year progressed there were few answers for the Netball South team in respect of where the future lies, but the consultation and research efforts of NNZ’s Kate Agnew uncovered several areas in need of attention that have gone on to heavily influence the content of Netball South’s community netball operational plans in 2022. NNZ’s encouragement for locals to design solutions that fit local needs does seem a better fit with the Southern Cross values of Poipoia. What keeps Netball South’s community team motivated is our reason for being and the opportunities we are empowered to create to make a difference for players, coaches, umpires and volunteers alike. That coupled with the absolute pleasure of working with some outstanding centre volunteers and staff leading their committees and running junior netball programmes and player, umpire and coach development at the centre level. Those volunteers and staff that welcome us in to help plan and develop the best possible programmes for their centre and empower us to share our resources and expertise are shrewdly optimising the value of their zone membership fee while simultaneously lifting the netball experience of their members. Our netball centres in the Central Lakes area are a prime example. When the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel came through for another blitz on netball fun for junior and secondary school children in Wanaka, Cromwell, Queenstown and Alexandra, the local netball centres were making the most of it, ensuring the Steel players were able to connect with 100’s of players and coaches. We were also able to bring the Te Wananga o Raukawa Pulse to Queenstown for a pre-season game, attracting a crowd of enthusiastic netties and a cohort of coaches getting some rich coach development from Coach Lead Lana Morrison. This is Steel’s third consecutive annual pilgrimage to the Central Lakes region and we like to think it is playing its part in these netball centres achieving participation growth faster than their population growth. With an energized President at the helm it was great to see Central Southland Netball Centre get in on the act. Steel players arrived into a small village on the western southern coast called Colac Bay, and over the space of 22 hours helped fundraise
7
$2000 for the local club and centre, attended a pot luck tea and a music quiz, then while the sun came up the next morning ran a boot camp followed by a fun skills session with the local college. Neither of the trips to Central Lakes or Colac Bay would have been possible without the energy and enthusiasm of leaders from the local centres, clubs and schools. In 2022 we look forward to opening the doors to more netball promotional visits to the nooks and crannies of Southland and Otago in 2022.
COACH DEVELOPMENT In 2021, 47 coach workshops were offered across the zone either in person or via online zoom sessions with 560 attendances by coaches (averaging 12 coaches per workshop). Two hundred coaches attending workshops provided feedback via Netball New Zealand’s satisfaction survey link with 88% rating themselves as either very or extremely satisfied. Coaches have been highly engaged in developing their skills and Netball South is proud to be achieving satisfaction levels well above the national average. Connecting with coaches and providing resources and mentoring goes beyond delivery of development workshops for Netball South’s Coach Lead Lana Morrison. Lana maintains a database of coaches that keeps her in touch with those that have attended courses and importantly those who are closing in on achieving coach qualifications. It was fantastic to celebrate the achievement of the Community Coach (CCA) Level 1 Awards by Nicole Verco, Ariana Cunningham, Jasmine Hamilton and Maigan Fright. While Kim MacDonald was successful in achieving her CCA Level 2. Connecting coaches has been a pleasure in 2021. Netball South introduced the concept of ‘Coach Champions’ at centre level to provide a liaison between the zone and the centre, and for many centres these coach champions have been instrumental in guiding Netball South on the needs of local coaches and promoting development opportunities as they arise. Alongside the introduction of Coach Champions has been the growing ranks within the Coach Developer Network. Seven coach developers were at work delivering mainly in the Junior Netball space, with the exception of three coach developers able to deliver Community Coach level modules in Invercargill and Cromwell. As we strive for a better balance of coach development delivery across the zone in 2022, an increase in coach developers and the range of modules they can deliver will be crucial. On the social media front, we have been delighted by the number of followers on Netball South’s coach development page. Born in the aftermath of the 2020 lockdown, this facebook page ballooned to 1900 followers in 2021. Quite an achievement for a zone with just under 900 registered coaches. Of course, the explanation is, we have netball coaches joining and engaging from other parts of New Zealand and other countries. Coaches are telling us the work of our Coach Lead Lana Morrison to regularly inform coaches with engaging posts is highly appreciated. Our thanks goes to Lana, the coach developers and coach champions that have educated and nurtured quality coaching by our community coaches.
UMPIRE DEVELOPMENT Netball South continued to support umpires and bench officials across all levels of the game with development a strong focus in 2021. For umpires, there was increased purpose and interest in delivering the Introduction to Umpiring program. While development delivery via zoom for Coach/Coach Assessor Updates continued to prove itself as an effective mode of delivery. At the community level the development of young umpires has been exceptional. The umpire development group run by Rachael Smith at Southland Girls High School is a fantastic umpiring

initiative, while Central Southland Netball Centre have nurtured a strong crop of secondary school level umpires powering through their qualifications. In 2021, Netball Eastern Southland Centre continued with their consistent gold standard umpire development practices. The availability of quality umpires is an ongoing challenge for many centres so to see investment like this across the zone in our young umpires is fantastic. Despite the challenges and disruptions brought on by Covid 19 for umpires in 2021, a significant number of umpires increased their qualifications by passing exams and receiving awards. There was one NZC Endorsement Award and sixteen new Zone Award Qualifying awards surpassing high pass numbers achieved the year before. A special thanks must go to the senior umpires that were willing to visit other centres or help umpires from centres other than their own. Senior umpires like Maree McMillan of INC, responded to a call from Umpire Lead Colleen Bond, to support Dunedin Netball Centre umpires prepare for their theory exams when their theory tutor was no longer available. Maree was also known to pop up at Winton to support the assessment of umpires at the Central Southland Netball Centre as well. A big thanks to Maree and all of the umpire coaches and coach assessors who helped umpires both in and outside their centres, grow their skills, knowledge and qualifications. The results of Sport NZ’s survey are emphatic, the quality of the umpires is vital to the enjoyment of the netball experience. Thanks to the generosity of senior umpires throughout the centres, the nurturing of young umpire talent is alive and well. The regional tournaments run by Netball South give our Umpire Lead a birds-eye view into the great work by centres. As umpires flow into the tournaments, they are allocated to games, assessed and offered feedback and mentoring support by Colleen Bond, as they push their way into the coveted finals and semi finals berth. At the high-performance end, umpires Kristie Simpson and Sasha McLeod were members of the National Squad. Jonathan Bredin & Danielle Maulder were not available for the National Squad in 2021. Kristie and Sasha represented the south in the Cadbury International and National fixtures, including the ANZ Premiership. Due to the impact of Covid-19, the International Netball Federation (INF) approved Kristie to join two other NZ IUA’s umpiring the International Cadbury Series at Hamilton between NZ Silver Ferns v England. Sasha McLeod gained a wonderful appointment to umpire in the Cadbury Series between the NZ Silver Ferns and NZ Men, played in Wellington. The trophy cabinet is filled to the brim at the Simpson house. Congratulations to Kristie Simpson who was announced ANZ Premiership Umpire of the Year at the NNZ Awards. She was also awarded the Creation Signs Official of the Year Award at the 2021 ILT Southland Sports Awards and the Colleen Bond Umpire of the Year Award (Zone trophy), while Shannon Michelle received the Louise Smith Talented Umpire Award (Southland trophy). It was great to see Morgan Craig identified as a Watch List umpire gaining reserve appointments in the NNL League.

BENCH OFFICIALS We had four National and one Zone Bench Official retire this season so the increase in cadets in 2021 is fabulous news. Invercargill Netball Centre provided great training opportunities and saw interest grow, while Joyce Barron is doing a great job in Gore. Tournament attending for revalidations and accreditations has been addressed nationally and now we have a four-year cycle. Bench officials can revalidate locally at four years but must attend a Tournament within the next four year to revalidate. No national tournaments due to Covid was tough, however gaining approval from Garratt Williamson (NNZ) to use Netball South’s South Island Senior Championships held in Dunedin was a huge help for our qualifications this year. This tournament was the only one available to bench officials in 2021 so it was gratifying to see an excellent performance put in by the bench officials and hear that everyone enjoyed it and were grateful for the experience. Almost everyone, including the cadets, achieved success in some form. Lyn Wilson has taken over the allocations for Dunedin games and continues to do a great job with training and marking. We are in regular contact throughout the season with updates. The team based there are in good hands. 2021 was a bit tough for bench officials in our Zone but we are excited about moving forward and navigating the challenges ahead.
ANZ Premiership and National Netball League Covid interruptions were minimal this year so everyone got games. The lack of games in 2020 had effected our performance but we will be ready to go when the 2022 season starts.
MORE FM League Availability of bench officials was light this year and a few had to do benches with only one or two. It was good were able to cover all of the required game particularly given the multiple locations we were covering. Managers were more receptive to our presence working with us this season which was excellent and the excellent administrative support from Netball South made the Zone Coordinator’s job much lighter this year.

Talent Development
As far as our talent development pathways went, 2021 was a great year. We were able to deliver a range of regional Steel Steps one day camps throughout the zone for U14, U16 and U18 players, coaches and umpires. These were well attended in all regions and it was pleasing to see the players that attended these programmes playing in their centre representative teams later in the season at the various age group tournaments around the zone. We were thrilled to hold a three-day camp in April in Alexandra for players identified in the Steel Steps Accelerator Programme from the previous year. Attending the action-packed development camp were 40 players, 4 umpires and 4 coaches, gaining experience and knowledge from a host of topics and activities including Netballsmart, pool recovery activities and plenty of oncourt sessions. As part of our ongoing talent development programme, 80 players were selected to be in the 2022 Steel Steps Accelerator Programme during the age group and secondary school season. These players will be supported with an off-season training programme, mentoring from the Southern Steel players, preseason and specialist coaching sessions and the opportunity to attend training camps in April 2022. Netball South was also pleased to host the Otago Polytechnic South Island Senior Champs in Dunedin in early September. Ten teams from around the South Island, including two men’s teams competed over the two-day tournament. Dunedin Netball Centre were the eventual winners in a closely contested final against South Otago Netball Centre.
ASCOT PARK HOTEL SOUTHERN STEEL As the Southern Steel entered the 2021 ANZP season we had a fresh new look about us. We recruited five new players into our roster and knew we had a team full of talent, ability and excitement. The best thing was we were a bit of a mystery package for our opponents. As we worked through the pre-season, we discovered this young talented bunch was also vulnerable and not quite up to the fitness standards we were accustomed to seeing in our players. This meant we had to manage loads and bodies very carefully to get us through to the first game. Given how strongly our players performed in the season our management of this was effective, although it might have given Steel fans some nervous moments to see us come through the pre-season games without winning a quarter. When George Fisher arrived, we had three weeks to fully prepare as a team. We went into 2 ½ weeks of intensive training. It was a netball pre-season on speed. We had to make changes and rapidly. We set about spending as much time as we could on and off the court to get to know each other and learn more about what made each other tick. Heading into game one against the Tactix at home, I felt we had done everything we could to get ourselves ready. After winning that game it gave us the confidence and drive we all needed to help us on our way to getting to those finals. Our performances on court were inconsistent at first, but by midway through the competition we had become real contenders and the belief and confidence of the team grew. Everything our fans could see about the connectedness of the team was rooted in a strong team culture that became the driver of our success. The team bonded well off court which meant they were happy to push each other and have performance conversations that left it all out on court. The drive to keep performing well and improving kept us honest and the success felt great.

Our home run into the five final games for us was amazing. We took our own destiny into our hands to ensure we made the top three and were in contention to make the finals. With a home Elimination Final we gave it our all, but after falling short, took plenty of learnings from the game. The success of the season meant we had players and management moving into national roles. Shannon, Kate and Tiana was named in the Silver Fern Squad with George Fisher named in the English Roses. While Dayna Kaio the team manager was also called up to work with the Silver Ferns along with Steel’s strength and conditioning coach Michael Jacobs. Head Coach Reinga Bloxham was lined up to coach NNZ’s development side, NZ A however planned games were cancelled. At the end of the 2021 season, we bade farewell to our Physiotherapist Corina Ngatuere. After ten years of service to the Steel, Corina’s burgeoning private practice in Invercargill, finally absorbed her fully. Corina is a powerhouse of expertise and care. She was with our players as they rode the highs and lows of their career, becoming not only their physiotherapist but their friend. We wish to thank Corina for her diligence, hard work and sacrifice for the players she cared for.
NATIONAL NETBALL LEAGUE Jo Morrison was re-appointed Head Coach of the Southern Blast team along with co-assistant coaches Lana Morrison and Abbey McKenzie. After an extremely disrupted 2020 season, the management and players were eager to get back out on court and compete against the other NNL teams from around the country. The Blast played eight games, finishing the season in fifth. It was great to see many of the Blast players gain opportunities to train and play within in the Southern Steel environment, with five players brought in to cover ANZ Premiership games and two taking the court. Few of us will forget the stellar performance of Grace Namana filling in for George Fisher against the Magic in Dunedin. It was great reward for the hard work these players had put in and showed a great connection and pathway from the Blast to the Steel.
NATIONAL AGE GROUP PERFORMANCES Three teams from the South zone attended the U18 National Tournament in Rotorua in July. Wakatipu, Dunedin and Invercargill displayed some excellent netball skills throughout the week with Invercargill and Dunedin matching up against each other in their last game to decide the final placings. Invercargill the eventual winners, claiming 6th place overall and Dunedin finishing in 7th. Fantastic to have two teams from the south in the top eight, this bodes well for the future.
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAMP NNZ in conjunction with the South zone identified a number of secondary school players to attend the National Development Camp - South Island, held in Ashburton in January 2021. Ten players were selected from around our zone to be part of a nationwide programme to provide the top secondary school players an opportunity to be immersed in a three-day programme and be considered for selection into the NZ Secondary School trials later in the year. The NDC-South Island is one of three camps being held around the country, with 85 athletes attending. The camp programme includes fitness assessments, specialist coaching, NetballSmart screening and workshops, drug free sport workshops, individual player improvement plans and match play. It is an action packed three days for both players and coaches.

Optimising the Zone When Netball South’s strategic plan was last reviewed by the Board in 2018 the focus on optimising the zone was primarily about building the financial sustainability and the organisational capability of the zone. By the end of 2021 we completed year three of that threeyear strategic plan. So how have we done? There are several financial indicators of sustainability that an organisation might use. For Netball South, converting $177,333 of negative equity accumulated in the first three years of operation into positive equity through consistent delivery of positive surpluses was a priority. This was achieved in the 2020 FY when five successive surpluses brought us to $7,000 positive equity. In 2021, with our sixth surplus of $7,000, we further increased this equity to $14,000. Within this achievement is the contribution of the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel. We can be very proud of a breakeven small positive surplus in 2021, achieved despite a significant one-off drop in funding. Alongside plenty of warning from funder ILT so we could prepare, we have our commercial partners to thank for absorbing the impact of the funding loss. We welcomed new partner McDonalds to the whanau, but it was loyal existing partners that increased their commitment to the Southern Steel like Road Safety, Unichem Waikiwi and MacCallum that helped us stay on our feet. Their contribution led to a lift in cash sponsorship of 25% compared with 2020. And while the sponsorship revenue line shone, it was fantastic to see ticket sales take off towards the last three games of the season in Invercargill. Ticket sales for young people under the age of 12 went through the roof filling the upper SBS Bank stand of the ILT Stadium Southland and forcing us to bring out the SIT court end stands. We were really disappointed by a heavy loss to membership sales before the season started. Many longterm loyal members had been badly stung by the Ticket Rocket debacle and were yet to be convinced the 2021 season would not be disrupted by Covid. So it was great to see them return using casual tickets along with young families. The new organisational structure continues to strengthen as our Netball Development Managers in Central Lakes and Otago built their connections with Centres. It is disappointing we have been unable to fill a key vacancy in Southland for a Netball Development Manager. The very tight labour market In Invercargill continues to challenge our priority to complete the team.

2021 Honours and Achievements In 2021 Netball South players, teams, coaches, officials and administrators continued to make an important contribution to regional, national and international netball. These honours demonstrate excellence and this list would not be as large without a very strong netball base in the Zone. Each individual or team honour represents many more at lower levels. Success at the top sets the standard for others to aspire to. Role models are essential to the success of netball in our Zone and we are proud to have a significant number of them.

Netball South Zone Incorporated Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 30 November 2021
1 Accounting Policies
Reporting entity Netball South Zone Incorporated (NSZI) is an Incorporated Society in New Zealand, incorporated in November 2012. NSZI is a Public Benefit Entity. The special purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with s23(i) of the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of the special purpose financial statements. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated:
Basis of Reporting The special purpose financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting principles of accrual accounting and double entry accounting, and have been prepared on the basis of historical cost. The special purpose financial statements comprise of Statement of Financial Position, Performance, Movements in Equity and accounting policies as well as the notes to these statements. The special purpose financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars (NZ$).
Going Concern The special purpose financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
