Farewell to Ivy Topping
Sadly we say farewell to one of our LNISS Stalwarts Ivy Topping.
Ivy has given many years of service to netball and LNISSs. She has given her time to many whether it be coaches, players, officials, and families, because she wanted netball to be the vehicle to help individuals be better versions of themselves on and off the court. She achieved this and some. You will be missed by many Ivy. RIP lovely lady.

Registration of interest for the 2024 LNISS tournament

We are seeking team registration of interest so that we can gauge team numbers for A and B Grade. As part of this registration we are asking the name and grade of your umpire. Please note umpire must be Centre level of above to attend LNISSs. If you are finding it difficult to find an umpire please reach out to your Centre to see if they can assist you with this. This year teams are to bring their own umpires where they must provide transport, accommodation, and meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner).

We have also compiled our 2nd newsletter that has some key information. There are two new policies that we are seeking your feedback if you wish to do so. You can find the newletters here https://www.sporty.co.nz/lnissn/Newsletters/Current-Newsletter?em=1#

If you have any questions on any of the above please contact the committee on lnissnetball@gmail.com.


Fantastic Coaching opportunity - 13 April 2024 in Manawatu

Netball Manawatu is hosting Graeme Robson at Vautier Park on Saturday the 13th of April from 9:30 to 2:00 pm. There is a small investment of $20 which you will gain a truckload of knowledge, tips and tricks, plus a light lunch. AMAZING.
"Graeme Robson has been involved with high-performance sport for over 45 years, first as an international athlete and sport scientist before becoming National Coach for Badminton New Zealand for 7 years. He then transitioned into the NZ High-Performance sport system initially working at the NZ Academy of Sport North Island as Coach Support Manager before it became part of High-Performance Sport NZ. He has recently retired but still retains a huge passion for helping coaches coach skill and decision-making across several sports, including Netball which he has been associated with since 2003."
