Christchurch Netball Centre is one of the largest netball centres in New Zealand and caters for netball players, coaches, umpires and officials in and around the city and environs.  All outdoor courts, some resurfaced and realigned are situated in Hagley Park. The Centre has the luxury of a stylish building nestled amongst the trees in Hagley Park where administration offices, physio clinic and caterers are situated. 

LATEST INFORMATION AND EVENTS

We have had a great start to the season and thanks to all of you who made comments about the re-aligned courts, the additional space between the courts and how it is making the spectator experience so much more pleasant and safe for all.    Some finishing touches still to be done, which will be completed over the next few weeks.

Especially good to see so many people sideline for the New World Senior grade games - some exciting netball on display in this grade as teams vie for opportunities to move up divisions etc.

Volunteer umpires, why do we ????

You want to support your son or daughter with their weekend sport ?

You work full time and weekends are sacred ?

You manage, coach and even umpire for your kids' club, whether it's football, rugby, netball or cricket.

But it only takes one parent on the sidelines to make your life a misery and make you regret that you ever stuck your hand up to help.

Why do some parents feel they can belittle the efforts of volunteer umpires ?

What can we do? 

The extroverts out there would confront them, but what about those shy, introverted types who are not so brave?

Those are the ones who will walk away feeling down and upset, and take it to heart.

How can we turn this wave of sideline bullies to make sport fun and enjoyable for the kids, parents and most importantly volunteers ??? 

We can follow the Positive Sideline Supporters Code: 

#1 Cheer smart - Learn about the game, so you can encourage friends and family to take part.
#2 Cheer with honour - Respect the rules and traditions of the game, and all participants.
#3 Cheer proud - Set an example of fair play for alls; Give the cold shoulder to abuse & bad sports.
#4 Cheer fair - Be dignified and gracious whatever the result, whatever the ruling.
#5 Cheer loud - Give it heaps in a way that lets everyone know we love the game.
