Regional Target

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SECTION 1 – Good Governance Current Landscape •

•

The Yorkshire Region is the largest geographical area in the country and is made up of the following 4 four and very diverse constituent County Netball Associations: o North Yorkshire o West Yorkshire o South Yorkshire o Humberside (north of the Humber only) Both the Regions and the Counties are autonomous organisations in their own right and take responsibility for the management of netball in their areas, however, where possible, they work closely together to ensure that the development of netball activity is closely linked for the benefit of all its members.

SWOT Analysis Strengths • Affiliated to England Netball • Constituted organisation that works closely with its counties • Some expert volunteers • Regular meetings, including an AGM • Regional Manager supporting work within the Region, with support from 4 x NDOs / 1 NDCC and a Regional Coordinator. • Participation in EN initiatives and consultation • Financially viable from members affiliation Opportunities • To create a new a more robust governance and new board structure • Engage more volunteers, not just from within netball • Identify expertise • Develop clear roles and responsibilities for all volunteers and working groups • To undertake financial planning with controls in place

Weaknesses • Lack of volunteers to undertake all roles • Too many volunteers with more than one portfolio • Not identifying skills gap and expertise required • No recruitment process in place • No succession planning • Lack of financial planning and controls Threats • Lack of volunteers • Volunteer time • Increased costs

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) 2.6 Playing the Game – Facility Development Current Landscape • • •

The Region does not currently have an overall picture of the facilities, both indoor and outdoor, that can support netball activity. Equally the Region does not have a full picture of its requirements to aid facility planning for netball. Most of the netball within the Region takes place indoors and so competes with other sports for both time and space. This includes at the EIS, which was originally designated an EN netball centre in the Region The growth in usage of indoor facilities has seen a decline in the standard of outdoor courts which impacts on major tournaments, especially at school level

SWOT Analysis Strengths • Lots of indoor facilities • Good links between the region, counties and facility providers • EIS Facility

Weaknesses • Lake of awareness of where and what facilities there are • Knowing exactly what is required • Poor outdoor provision • Lack of access to indoor and outdoor facilities at the times when we need • Lack of a regional centre

Opportunities • To undertake a review of facilities in the region in partnership with other agencies and EN • To identify facility needed • RM / NDO work with SE / CSP / LA can ensure that regional and counties are aware of facility developments

Threats • Competing with other sports • Costs of facilities • Increase demand over availability

Facility Development National Objectives: •

In partnership with Badminton England and England Basketball actively influence the development of, and access to community facilities in common priority areas. Page 21

• • •

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) Establish a new network of appropriate standard indoor netball facilities (caged netball) through a partnership with the English Cricket Board (ECB). Increase and enhance the network of County and Regional Netball Centres providing central venue homes for netball. Support the provision of Intensive Netball Training Centres (INTC’s) offering high quality netball environments for performance athletes.

Regional Objectives/ Regional Priorities: • • • •

Conduct a mapping exercise to identify all levels of netball facilities within the region. Develop a Facility Strategy Support the access to and/or the development of new facilities where appropriate Support the Performance TSG to access suitable facilities for Performance Pathway programmes

What (Action)

2.6.1 2.6.2 2.6.3

2.6.4 2.6.5 2.6.6

Support the completion of a regional/county facility audit (as part of the nationally led EN facility audit). Assess current county /regional facility provision against 2013-17 participation demands. Identify a target location for a regional netball centre (if one doesn’t currently exist.

Identify target locations for county netball centres (if they don’t currently exist and are required). Identify community netball centre requirements and enhancements by local authority area. Work with EN to identify partner sports for community netball facility developments.

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SWOT Analysis Strengths • • • • • •

Weaknesses

Each county has teams participating in the senior regional competition 2013/14 – each county put forward 2 teams (in each junior age group) for the regional league Ethos and reason of the under 12 festival is widely accepted and understood by teams across the county New teams developing and participating in competition in (especially junior competition) Committed workforce amongst the region to support competition Central venue in the EIS, Sheffield – purpose built, good clean and all required amenities

Opportunities • • • •

•

• •

•

‘limited’ competition for senior regional league – as a region is the jump from Region to Premier to big (currently bridged by Northern League) ‘umpire’ pool to pull on to service junior and senior competition on the same day. Under 19 competition – not established, aware this is sometimes the drop out age group (leaving for uni, no club out lets etc) Limited schools with right number of courts to host schools competition

Threats

Further growth of the senior league – if level of competition is needed and/or frequency is increased Establishment of a structure linking schools and club competition (especially at under 12 age and then again at 16) Regional tournament (Either end of or start of season) Work with schools to seek funding to support development of outdoor courts

• • • • •

Drop out rate Limited club opportunities across all counties Limited venue space Geographical make- up of the region and the area the teams cover Limited facilities to host schools competition

Competition & Events National Objectives: • To provide increased playing opportunities for existing participants. • To provide more flexible opportunities to attract new participants. • To enhance the local and regional infrastructure to be able to deliver more competitive opportunities. • To enhance the local and regional infrastructure to further support the player pathway.

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SECTION 5 – Volunteering Current Landscape SWOT Analysis Strengths • Highly skilled and dedicated volunteers currently working across the region • Regional Goalden Globes well established • Region have had 7 national winners over last 4 years Opportunities • Develop a Regional YAG with EN rep on the national committee, linking in with those who are currently registered on the ‘Pass on Your Passion’. • National YAG rep sitting on RMB

Weaknesses • Lack of engagement with young volunteers • Lack of mentors and role models • Lack of GG nominations coming from counties Threats • Young volunteers falling out of the system • Unwillingness of young volunteers to attend meetings and training

Volunteering National Objectives: • • • •

A tailored volunteer support programme for all volunteer segments with a clearly defined pathway for volunteers. Increased levels of satisfaction amongst the volunteering community. More people volunteering in netball that we know about and can support. Clarity of committee roles and succession planning in place.

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SECTION 6 – Coaching Current Landscape • • • •

Currently there is no Coaching Group in place within the Region responsible for developments Coaching programme developed and managed by the Regional Coordinator with support from EN and County NDOs There is minimal support for coaches overall, although those involved in the Academy programmes have received support from the REC No accurate data on coaches currently working in the Region or the demand for coaching qualification s and support at all levels

SWOT Analysis Strengths • Regional Cord manages admin of coach prog • Regional Booklet (annual prog that Cty association and NDO knowledge involvement) • Email promotion and website of course. • CSP (some) provide support ie safeguarding etc. Inc bursaries • NDCC Lead – narrow area and role (B2N) • Winner Goalden Globes – inc National Coach of Year • REC

Weaknesses • Lack of coaches from top to bottom • We are falling short big time of targets • Do not know what coaches we have! Data not accurate • Don’t know what coaches want to do • Where are our active coaches and what support do they want • No follow up on coaches when been on UKCC and what want to do/are doing etc . • Too qualification driven • Lack of mentoring • Lack of knowledge of pathway • Out dated skills of coaches • Appropriate skills for type of coaching wish to do eg B2N, U11 , club, perf etc • (Perception is that some go ion courses for CV and not active – don’t know this!); • Lack of attendance at EN Coach conferences • Courses not filled • Evidence of need of courses and promotion • Lack of understanding of coach development at all levels – paid and volunteer • Not enough profile •

Page 38

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) Opportunities • Reverse of 1 below – we have real pathways for appropriate development • Creation of coach contact/development • Appropriate course • SCUK involvement in driving the TSG forward

Threats • Lack of coaches coming through on Performance • If Perf (Region) coaches leave, who will do (raised in Perf SWOT). Real issue • Coaches at County and Satellite need have the skills to deliver • Coaches not attending course/ updating skills. “Happy to stay where are when qualified” • No coaches = less clubs/less jnr clubs at worst or at best no increase in them!! • Netball does not develop • No flourishing clubs (or not enough) – need pathways for all the young athletes coming through academy pathway to competition/clubs appropriate- there are not enough • Lack of ambition for coaches to develop • Volunteer v paid impact • Change in REC role and paid staff

Coaching National Objectives: • • •

Increase the number of skilled, qualified and active coaches. Improve on-going support for and recognition of coaches. Increase deployment opportunities for coaches.

Regional Objectives/ Regional Priorities: • • •

Recruit a new Chair for coaching and re-establish the TSG Link in with Officiating TSG to develop an annual Education and training event for Coaches and Officials Support coaches through the UKCC pathway by developing a mentoring programme.

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SECTION 7 – Officiating Strengths •

• • • • • •

• • •

More opportunities being provided by TSG group to deploy developing officials to regional games. Improving quality of umpires being deployed Focused volunteer TSG group who have professional capacity to focus on officials (also threat & weakness) Competitive structure that encourages umpiring standards and umpires to seek to develop /achieve higher qualifications Y&H umpires officiating at NSL, National and International events Clearer pathway for talented C award umpires to /get experience to B award Good pool of umpire assessors Excellent group of dedicated, passionate and experienced volunteers across the region that deliver officiating at C & B level Regional officiating initiatives that can be developed and piloted for potential use at national level Increased opportunities for a wider age range of officials – e.g. Youth Officiating Consistently deliver officials to meet the demand across all competition

Weaknesses • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Opportunities • •

Open doors to “new faces” to extend/improve capabilities Tap into England netball framework for improved communications

Lack of tutors Lack of progression opportunities “where do I go from YUA” Communication – works well in a small environment but gets “stuck” going to wider community Location of key competitions restrict access to officials development Supply doesn’t meet demand, especially at B award No official mentoring programme Lack of people willing to mentor Officiating still perceived as “poor relation” Insufficient number of assessors at B level Inconsistency and lack of quality control in the structure and delivery of the officiating programme throughout the regions. Lack of flexibility and accessibility to training. One mode of learning (attendance at workshops or training courses) Unclear umpiring and administrative pathways and a perceived lack of transparency in the programme and equal opportunities At grassroots level, increased reporting by participants believing officials lack skills and are biased and inconsistent How to identify talented umpires Small numbers of volunteers undertaking a variety of different roles throughout the game – pressure on this resource Profile for officiating is poor. Players generally gravitate to coaching not umpiring Personal financial burden that volunteers have to make in order to participate in the officiating programme Poor communication channels restricting how we cascade information to the wider networks Lack of re-accreditation and quality control at lower levels Lack of a structured remuneration system for officials across the country

Threats • •

Changing culture in new umpires coming through. Less willing to travel. Payment becoming more important Narrow opportunities for existing, more mature, experienced umpires by introducing younger umpires

Page 42

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) • • • • •

Introduce younger, aspiring umpires to the game Use more experienced/mature umpires into other roles to develop the game, e.g mentoring, tutoring Introduce succession planning to engage new personnel Work closer with competition group to plan for development of officials aligned to planning of competition calendar Wide base of HE/FE institutions to tap into potential /new officials

• •

Remuneration for volunteers, increasing lack of volunteer time. Northern Clubs league is an additional drain on resource, requiring B awards at the same time as other competitions

Officiating National Objectives: • Increased levels of participant satisfaction with the quality of officiating. • A centrally managed officiating programme with clearly defined policies and procedures that assist in providing transparency and consistency across officiating. • A skilled network of officials accessing the right CPD more often, supported through the introduction of a continuous professional development (CPD) programme and additional development opportunities. • A world class officiating certification and support programme that ensures officials are proficient and competent for the levels at which they officiate. Regional Objectives/ Regional Priorities: • • •

Establish a Mentoring scheme Develop and expand the current workforce Establish a ‘Talent ID’ programme to ensure that talented Officials are supported to achieve their goals.

Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Plan – FINAL (October 2013) SECTION 8 – Communication and Marketing Current Landscape • •

No one person or group responsible for this area of work and consequently no strategy in place Communications do, however, get through to members via a variety of networks including the regional web-site and newsletter and through both the regional and county data.

SWOT Analysis Strengths • Website • Some opportunities events added to CSP websites • Course Booklet (if we exclude content of this years!!) – but WEL received • Reg Co- Ord gets email updates out

Opportunities • To start thinking proactively and recognise need for marketing and comms development

Weaknesses • Need people to give info to put on website – so lots of gaps – think all??? • Needs to be ownership by Region of what goes on and how we want developed • Q re group of people to do eg twitter/facebook…………..back to how recruit volunteers. At moment no-one • Some opportunities events added to CSP websites – BUT sometimes not on County website. So about needing recognition what needs to be where • EN do not think of asking eg local job adverts to be put on Regional Site/County • Regional Newsletter gone • Style of comms/recognition when need what type – eg EN Promote email to vote for B2N Lottery award – GREAt – then do not send email saying won it – POOR!! – apparently facebook etc !!! • Lack of clarity about how communicate – from top to bottom • Threats •
