Kia ora koutou You are a highly valued member of Christchurch Netball Centre. This update is designed to provide you with the details you need to make the most of your season ahead. When visiting Christchurch Netball venues, we want you to make yourself at home. This week, we have important updates and specific guidelines for supporters and participants at Ngā Puna Wai in particular.
Coming soon - Delivering netball across four different venues is a learning curve for your CNC team. Thank you for your patience, for asking great questions and awaiting very important answers. Last week as Season 2024 opened at Ngā Puna Wai, we ❤️’d the vibe and seeing our participants, volunteers, clubs and supporters shine ⭐️ in this new environment. Thank you to everyone who made it cool to follow the rules 😎 The rules are designed to keep our community safe and manage the game space. If you were mindful and stood behind the colourful dots on the mezz, you rock 🎸
We are also preparing a handbook for clubs to help inform your members. This will contain clear information on how to navigate Season 2024 at Ngā Puna Wai and beyond, for example:
We appreciate you sharing our excitement around this inaugural season for netball across four venues in Christchurch - Ngā Puna Wai, Hagley Park, Wilding Park and Rāwhiti Domain.  |

Where can we watch the games? Please respect the seated spectator zone in front of the glass on the mezzanine floor.
Please stand 1m from the glass. Never touch or lean on the glass. Courts 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and10 have red and black seating, so spectators can sit there, or stand against the wall that these seats are attached to. Court 2 – At this stage, standing is available on the opposite side of the court to the team benches – in a single straight line against the backs of the team benches on Court 3. Court 5 - At this stage, standing is available on the opposite side of the court to the team benches – in a single straight line against the backs of the team benches on Court 4. ⚫Supporters can share positive messages that lift the mana of participants and umpires 🚫Please do not stand on the team sideline or at the end of the courts We appreciate this is a change. We look forward to the way this will "Give them space" - in this new space! This allows game officials, coaches and participants the space to play and manage the game 😎
Please e-mail comms@cnc.org.nz with any questions or specific seating queries and requirements related to mobility. We're listening. The Freemasons New Zealand Spirit Fairy will be back in action, looking for shining examples of outstanding Christchurch Netball supporters ⭐️ |

Be cool and play by the rules. When you are playing, volunteering or supporting, whether you are at Ngā Puna Wai, Wilding Park, Hagley Park or Rāwhiti Domain...here’s how you can help prepare for the new season. 1. Manaakitanga | Caring for people and place 🥰 2. Kaitiakitanga | Being guardians of our new home for future generations 🏡 3. Whanaungatanga | Making sure our netball environments lift the mana of our members 🙌 Best practice at the new indoor facility includes: Only water (no other food and liquid on the courts) 🚫 Only soft soled shoes on the courts 👟 If there is a spill on the courts, please wipe it up immediately 💦 And, most importantly, be mindful on the mezzanine. Please never touch or lean against the glass 🙏 (The clear area in front of the glass is designed to keep clear as a seating area for wheelchairs and people of all ages who wish to sit on the carpet, so spectators have a view through the glass) 👀 Make yourself at home | Haere mai 😎 |
