President’s and CEO’s Report 2011 

2011 was a fantastic year for netball. The World Championships in Singapore 

highlighted the global aspect of the sport, and showcased the incredible talent that 

Australia is producing. Our West Australian Diamonds, Susan Fuhrmann and Caitlin 

Bassett continue to amaze and inspire, and we could not be more proud of them for 

the gold medals that they bought back to the state. 

West Coast Fever had a challenging 

season, with some extremely exciting 

and intense matches against some of 

the heavyweights of the competition. 

Wins against the Tactix, Steel and 

Thunderbirds along with narrow losses 

against the Magic, Mystics, Swifts 

and eventual champions the Firebirds 

showed the potential of the team. 

Following the ANZ Championship 

season, Netball WA’s recruitment 

of national coach, Norma Plummer, 

was a massive coup for netball in our 

state. A legend of the sport, Plummer 

personifi es not only everything that 

is netball, but has an extraordinary 

record of success at all levels. 

We look forward to her having an 

effect on every level of the sport in 

Western Australia. 

At a grassroots level, the 

Development department continues 

to work tirelessly to develop players, 

coaches and umpires across the 

state. We experienced fantastic 

growth in our programs, none more 

so than in our Scoolnet NetSetGO! 

and Step up clinics with participation 

growing to 7,096 from 1,975 in 2010. 

The State Netball Centre development 

has been a long process, but through 

the hard work of Scott Henderson 

and his team, we are confi dent that by 

the beginning of 2014, WA will have 

a world class facility where we can 

work to develop our players, coaches 

and umpires. 

Robert Shaw 

President 

We thank the State Government for 

their support and look forward to 

moving into the new home for netball 

in our state. 

From a fi nancial point of view, Netball 

WA recorded a modest surplus of 

$44,395. Netball continues to enjoy 

a solid fi nancial position thanks in 

no small part to our major funding 

partners, Healthway and Lotterywest 

through the Department of Sport and 

Recreation’s sport fund. We are proud 

of the way Netball has embraced the 

healthy living message across every 

level of our sport. 

We also would like to thank our 

commercial sponsors. In 2011, Telstra 

become a national sponsor of netball 

and we welcomed the Sunday Times 

and PerthNow as a sponsor of the 

West Coast Fever. Their support 

means that the Fever was, for the fi rst 

time, able to produce a surplus that we 

could reinvest in our sport at a grass 

roots level. Skywest provided a great 

deal of support for our development 

programs and we looking forward to 

continuing this relationship. 

In 2011 Netball WA saw some familiar 

faces leave, but also some exciting 

new faces arrive. I would like to 

welcome High Performance Manager 

and West Coast Fever Assistant Coach 

- Stacey Rosman, Marketing Executive 

- Emily Wise, High Performance 

Analyst - Megan Lorains and Inclusion 

Offi cer, Jamie-Leigh Strickland. 

Scott Henderson 

CEO 

At a national level, we saw some 

encouraging signs with both the 19U 

State side and our newly christened 

ANL team, the Western Sting both 

fi nishing on the podium in 3rd place. 

The Sting had a particularly successful 

campaign, fi nishing the round 

matches in 2nd place. Both the 21U 

and 17U teams fi nished in 5th position 

in very tight competitions. 

The Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League was won by Coastal 

Sharks, leaving Midland Brick Demons 

without that elusive 5th championship 

title in a row. Congratulations to Sally 

Ironmonger and her team once again 

for winning what was one of the most 

hotly contested leagues in the history 

of the competition. 

The Netball WA Board continues to 

work hard behind the scenes for the 

good of the sport in WA. I would like 

to thank them again for their time and 

their expertise in guiding our sport. 

Finally, and on behalf of the Netball 

WA Board, I would like to take this 

opportunity to thank the dedicated 

volunteers who work tirelessly for this 

great sport. It is often easy to overlook 

those that give so much of their time 

and energy, to ensure that netball 

reaches the impressive heights that it 

deserves. So to all those that do play, 

coach, offi ciate, volunteer or support - 

thank you. Without you, netball would 

be nothing of what it is today.

NETBALL WA 2011 ANNUAL REPORT 

3


The 2011 season was the fourth 

ANZ Championship the West Coast 

Fever has participated in since the 

competition’s launch in 2008. Fever 

Coach Jane Searle was in her third 

year at the helm, however there was 

little change in the ANZ Championship 

history, fi nishing in ninth place. 

The performances of Caitlin Bassett, 

Andrea Gilmore and Susan Fuhrmann 

were highlights from the season. 

Caitlin fi nished the year as the number 

one shooter in the competition in 

goals/attempts with 362 goals from 

409 attempts at 88.5%. Caitlin was 

awarded the Holden Grassroots 

Best Player of the match 3 times 

throughout the season. Wing defence, 

Andrea Gilmore had a stellar year, 

fi nishing in the top 10 for intercepts 

West Coast Fever Awards and Achievements 

West Coast Fever Player of the year: Caitlin Bassett 

Coach’s Award: Caitlin Bassett 

Members’ Player of the year: Andrea Gilmore 

West Coast Fever Best Club Person: Andrea Gilmore 


and defl ections in the competition. 

Goal keeper Susan Fuhrmann was in 

the top 10 for rebounds in 2011. 

Australian Diamond honours were 

bestowed upon Caitlin Bassett 

and Susan Fuhrmann, with both 

completing the Gold medal 

winning match at the World Netball 

Championships held in Singapore. 

Promising young Fever athlete, 

Courtney Bruce, also donned the 

green and gold after being selected in 

the Australian 19U team. 

The 2011 ANZ Championship started 

earlier this year because of the World 

Netball Championship in July. Despite 

this challenge, TV audiences and 

attendances at stadiums remained 

consistent with previous years. In 

general, the team has approximately 

Caitlin Bassett 75 Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship matches 

Susan Fuhrmann 75 Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship matches 

Andrea Gilmore 50 Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship matches 

Ashlee Howard 25 Commonwealth Bank Trophy/ANZ Championship matches 

100,000 viewers per match and 

around 2,000 spectators. The 

members support at home remained 

steady with 819 Fever members. Away 

games continued to prove taxing with 

the extensive air travel reaching over 

53,000km covered in 2011, and those 

athletes with Diamonds commitments 

fl ying approximately 90,000km. 

Fever athletes spent more time 

playing in the State Netball League 

competition during and at the 

completion of the season to sustain 

match fi tness. They spent time 

engaging those in the netball 

community by attending association 

appearances at Southern Districts, 

Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, 

Noranda, Foothills, Eastern Hills, 

Kalamunda, Swan Districts, Belmont, 

Rockingham, Mandurah, Success and 

Wanneroo. Fever held Netball Clinics 

at Wanneroo and Fremantle in 2011. 

The Fever Athletes coached at these 

clinics and 370 netballers attended 

the clinics held in June and July. 

Placing 9th - Won three, Lost ten


National Teams 

Three Western Australian athletes 

were selected in the 2011 Australian 

Diamonds Squad, these being Caitlin 

Bassett and Susan Fuhrmann from 

the West Coast Fever and Kate 

Beveridge from the Melbourne Vixens. 

In January 2011, the Diamonds 

toured Jamaica. Beveridge and 

Fuhrmann were named in this team, 

where Australia won the fi rst game, 

drew the second and lost the third 

match of the series. 

Bassett and Fuhrmann were named 

in the Diamonds team that played two 

test matches against the Silver Ferns 

in June 2011 in the lead-up to the 

2011 World Championships. 

Both athletes were selected in the 

Australian Diamonds Team for 

the 2011 World Championships, 

held in Singapore in July. After 

a comprehensive round robin 

competition, Australia faced a 

determined Malawi team in the 

quarter-fi nals, comprehensively beat 

the Jamaican Sunshine Girls in the 

semi-fi nal before beating the New 

Zealand Silver Ferns by one goal in an 

overtime heart stopper. Bassett shot 

the winning goal for the Diamonds. 

Following the World Championships, 

Bassett and Fuhrmann were again 

selected for the Diamonds to play in 

the 2011 Holden Netball Test Series 

in October against England and 

6 NETBALL WA 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 

New Zealand. Fuhrmann sustained 

an ankle injury which prevented 

her from playing the three tests 

against England; however she was 

included for the three tests against 

New Zealand. Bassett played all six 

matches against both teams. The 

Diamonds won both test series. 

Sarah East was selected in the 21U 

Australian Team that toured New 

Zealand in June 2011. Sarah, a 2011 

AIS Scholarship Holder, also travelled 

to Singapore with the AIS Squad 

to train and play against several 

international teams in the lead-up to 

the World Championships. 

West Coast Fever player and WAIS 

scholarship holder, Courtney Bruce 

was named in the 19U Australian 

Netball Team. 

Western Australian Institute of Sport 

(WAIS) Program 

The WAIS Netball Program provides 

the daily training environment 

and support services for Western 

Australian athletes, either currently 

in the National Program or identifi ed 

as potential international or emerging 

international athletes. World-class 

coaching, training facilities and 

support services in the areas of sport 

science, sports medicine and athlete 

education are offered to selected 

athletes as they progress through the 

elite pathway. The WAIS Program 

is led by highly credentialed Head 

Coach Michelle Wilkins; a former 

Australian representative, AIS Head 

Coach and High Performance Coach. 

Australian National League - 

Western Sting 

Western Sting was Netball WA’s 

representative in the 2011 Australian 

National League (ANL). This 

competition is an amateur open 

aged round robin, home and away 

competition consisting of preliminary 

rounds and fi nals contested by every 

state and territory. This competition 

provides a crucial development 

opportunity for those potential and 

emerging international athletes looking 

to gain selection into the West Coast 

Fever team. 

Western Sting had many strong 

performances in 2011 and fi nished 

in 2nd place after the round robin 

competition. Following a tough 

encounter against Victoria Fury in the 

semi-fi nal, they played Queensland 

Fusion in the 3rd place fi nal. Western 

Sting had a narrow 1-goal win 

against the Fusion in the round 

robin competition and had to fi ght 

hard in the play-off to secure third 

place overall. 

Jon Fletcher was appointed coach 

of the Sting in 2011 and was well 

assisted by Michelle Wilkins. 

State Teams 

The 2011 17U and 19U National 

Netball Championships were held 

in Brisbane in April. The Western 

Australian 17U Team was competitive 

and fi nished the round games in equal 

4th place. A lower percentage saw 

the WA team relegated to the bottom 

half of the draw for the play-offs and 

they fi nished 5th after fi nals. 

The 19U Team, showed huge 

improvement in 2011 with some close 

and inspiring wins during the round 

robin competition. After a strong 

showing against New South Wales in 

the semi-fi nal, Western Australia met 

South Australia in the play-off for third 

place. In a convincing display, where 

they led from start to fi nish, the 19U 

Team fi nished in 3rd place overall. 

The 2011 21U National Netball 

Championships were held in Melbourne 

in August and the Western Australian 

21U Team, although determined, faced 

some tough and tight competition 

against other states and achieved a 

creditable 5th placing. 

National Selectors attended 

all National Underage Netball 

Championships and the following 

Western Australian athletes were 

selected in the 17U and 19U National 

Squads to attend the National Talent 

Camp at the AIS in May: Numi Tupaea 

was selected in the 17U Squad and 

Courtney Bruce and Denise Shepley 

in the 19U Squad. Additionally Jessica 

Penny and Kaylia Stanton participated 

in the 17U National Talent Camp as 

invitees and Ellie Smart was also an 

invitee for the 19U camp. 

Courtney Bruce was selected in the 

21U Australian Squad named after the 

completion of ANL. 

Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League 

The 2011 Smarter than Smoking 

State Netball League (STSSNL) once 

again proved to be a showcase for 

Western Australia’s best netball talent. 

8 of our 11 Regions were represented 

across 3 Divisions - League, Reserves 

and 18 & Under, with Coastal 

Sharks, West Coast Falcons and 

Midwest Tigers deservedly taking the 

respective titles. 

Games were played in Perth, 

Geraldton, Eaton and Dongara, and 

with games scheduled for Albany and 

Northam in 2012, the competition has 

become a truly statewide event. 

2011 was a year of consolidation for 

the STSSNL following on from the 

many structural changes implemented 

in 2010. However, it will most 

certainly go down on record as one 

of the most even and closely fought 

competitions across all divisions, for 

many years. 

The STSSNL plays an integral role 

in the Netball WA Development 

pathway for Players, Coaches, 

Umpires and Score Bench Offi cials. 

There is a direct link from Association 

Netball through to high performance 

representation at State, ANL and ANZ 

Championship level. 

Smarter than Smoking 

Association Championships 

231 teams, comprising of 3465 

athletes and offi cials, competed from 

all over the State in 32 divisions, with 

104 teams from country associations 

and 127 from the metropolitan 

associations. This event is the largest 

held in WA for Netball and was 

hosted by Perth Netball Association 

in conjunction with Netball WA. Open 

1 Division was won by Southern 

Districts in a very close match vs 

Fremantle. All Division 1 results are 

listed in Section 2.

Development Programs 

Academy Program 

The 2011 Netball WA Regional 

Academy Program continued to 

provide a talent based tiered training 

program, including off court education 

modules for athletes 13-16 years 

of age. 

The Regional Academies incorporated 

structured programs for coaches and 

umpires which were run jointly by 

Netball WA and the 11 metropolitan 

and country netball regions forming a 

state wide program. 

The Netball WA Academy Cup held 

in July 2011 at Arena Joondalup 

provided the regions with the 

opportunity to compete in a state 

wide competition as a fi nale to their 

involvement in the Regional Academy 

Program. The competition provided the 

athletes with the opportunity to gain 

additional development and experience 

at a state level as well as assisting in 

their preparation in trialling for state 

17U Phases. In addition the Academy 

Cup provided a platform for mentoring 

of WA’s up and coming coaches 

and umpires and the opportunity for 

selectors to view country athletes 

and coaches for selection into the 

Department of Sport and Recreation’s 

Talent Development Program. 

The Regional Umpire Academy 

provides a pathway for talented 

umpires into the Smarter than Smoking 

State Netball League Squad or State 

Academy, as well as providing the 

opportunities to develop skills, gain 

practical experience and be mentored 

by some of the state’s best umpires. 

24 Regional Academy Umpires were 

invited to umpire at the Academy 

Cup in which they received valuable 

coaching from Umpire Panel 

Members and Cadets. Regional 

Umpiring Development Offi cers and 


Association Umpiring Development 

Offi cers were also invited to this event 

to enhance their knowledge and skillset 

to assist with developing umpires 

in their associations and regions. 

The 17U and 19U State Academy 

program provided an intensive 

training program for the best 14 -18 

age group athletes to help them 

gain selection into the 17U and 19U 

State Teams. The State Academy 

program educates athletes on a 

daily training environment and the 

commitment, preparation, intensity 

and performance it takes for them to 

reach their potential. 

The Netball WA State Umpire 

Academy seeks to offer umpiring 

opportunities, programs, theory 

and coaching and mentoring from 

members of the Umpire Panel with 

a view to promoting these umpires 

to the Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League matches. In 2011 

we saw 10 umpires selected into 

the State Academy with eight of 

those being introduced onto the 

Smarter than Smoking State Netball 

League court. 

Approximately 60 coaches, 

330 athletes and 210 umpires were 

involved in the Netball WA Academy 

Program in 2011. 

Department of Sport and Recreation 

Regional Talent Development Program 

The Department of Sport and 

Recreation (DSR) Regional Talent 

Development Program (RTDP) is 

designed to offer talented athletes 

residing outside the metropolitan 

area development opportunities and 

support as they progress through 

the Netball WA Player Pathway. 

The program aims to ensure that 

these athletes have the opportunity 

to continue their netball development 

through the provision of appropriate 

support and skills based programs 

some of which is completed in their 

home environment. 

An important component of this 

program is the future development of 

local coaches by offering opportunities 

for mentoring and assistance in 

advancing in accreditation levels. 

The DSR RTDP Network Coach 

plays an important role in coaching 

and mentoring as well as guiding the 

development opportunities for athletes 

and future coaches in country regions. 

Fifteen athletes and fi ve coaches 

were offered full scholarships for the 

2010/11 scholarship round. 

Four athletes from the DSR RTDP 

Program were chosen to represent 

Western Australia in the 17U State 

Team - Charlotte Donovan, Maddison 

Schultz, Kate Sidebottom and 

Ashleigh Haydock. One athlete 

from the Program was also chosen 

to represent Western Australia in 

the 19U State Team - Ingrid Colyer. 

A further fi ve DSR RTDP athletes were 

selected in the 17U and 19U State 

Squads and one DSR RTDP coach 

was appointed as an Apprentice 

Coach to the 19U State Team. 

Netball WA would like to thank 

the Department of Sport and 

Recreation for its continued support 

of the program. 

Indigenous Program, supported by 


Netball WA continues to deliver 

the Indigenous Netball Program to 

support and assist community groups 

in participating in netball within their 

community. The program aims to 

increase participation of Indigenous 

players, coaches and umpires through 

exposure to: 

• Coach and Umpire 

Education Courses 

• Player, coach and umpire 

pathways that lead into mainstream 

competitions and programs 

• Development and talent 

identifi cation opportunities 

• Up skilling of coaches, umpires and 

other volunteers within their local 

community 

• Event and program coordination 

Indigenous Data for 2011 

Netball WA continues to foster and 

strengthen relations with Indigenous 

communities and organisations 

such as the Department of Sport 

and Recreation and indigenous 

support agencies including the David 

Wirrpanda Foundation and Nyoongar 

Sports, to ensure a successful and 

sustainable program.

the fi rst steps to having a sustainable 

‘People with Disability’ program and 

competition structure across the 

State. Netball WA has taken the 

approach to increase exposure of 

children with a disability to netball 

and to work on ensuring they also 

have clear pathway into their local 

association. Netball WA believes 

that with increased interest and 

a commitment from associations 

on the importance of providing 

a truly inclusive sport a player 

pathway would emerge. 

Netball WA rolled out the Inclusion 

NetSetGO! Disability program to 

13 Education Support Centres 

across the state totalling in 325 new 

NetSetGO! participants. 

During the year Atwell College, 

Endeavour Education Support Centre 

and Rockingham Senior High School 

Education Support Centre joined 

together and took their NetSetGO! 

students to Success Netball 

Association for a NetSetGO! Fun Day. 

A major component for the day was 

a round robin competition allowing 

for participants to get a sense of 

what it might be like to play at a 

netball association. 

Endeavour Education Support 

Centre were lucky enough to ‘Win a 

Diamond Clinic’, with many fantastic 

entries being received. The clinic saw 

Caitlin Bassett and Susan Fuhrmann 

conduct a fun and interactive clinic. 

The current PWD competitions for 

adults in Geraldton and Fremantle 

are still going strong and with further 

assistance will continue to grow.

Through 2011 Netball WA has also 

developed a strong relationship with 

key disability support services such 

as DSR-SportsCONNECT, Inclusion 

WA, Therapy Focus and Disability 

Services Commission. 

A major focus for the future will be 

the re-engagement of people with a 

disability who have previously been 

exposed to netball. To ensure the 

program can take the next step we 

believe that it is essential that we 

support association and clubs to 

be inclusive through training and 

education. With the assistance 

of Inclusion WA a Netball specifi c 

“Disability Awareness” training package 

will be developed and the NWA 

Development Unit staff looks forward 

to delivering this to associations and 

clubs throughout 2012. 

Thanks to the Department of Sport 

and Recreation for their continued 

support of this Program.

Coach Education and Development 

The Foundation, Development, 

Advanced and Elite Coach 

Accreditation Courses were delivered 

in 2011 with good participation rates 

across all courses. A few minor 

changes to the accreditation courses 

in 2011 saw course presenters 

attend an up skilling day in October 

with Carol Byers - Netball Australia 

Coach & Athlete Development 

Manager. The Intermediate course 

was not delivered in 2011 however 

participants who had commenced 

courses in 2009 and 2010 completed 

the fi nal units of the course gaining 

their Intermediate Accreditation in 

2011. The manuals, workbooks 

and DVD resources provided by 

Netball Australia for the Foundation, 

Development and Advanced coaching 

courses continue to be a valuable 

coaching tool and provide great 

references for the coaches.

The Down to Earth coach education 

program was rolled out by Netball 

Australia in 2010. Up-skilling of 

presenters commenced in 2011 

to enable delivery in 2012 of this 

valuable coach education program 

within the Associations and Regions. 

The Coaches in the Field programs 

continue to be delivered by the 

Associations and the Regions. 

Coach Education sessions 

commenced in February with former 

Australian captain and player Vicki 

Wilson, AIS coach Sue Gaudion 

and former Silver Ferns coach 

Yvonne Willering visiting WA and 

delivering some very interesting 

sessions to the High Performance, 

State, State Netball League and 

Specialist School coaches. Netball 

WA High Performance Manager 

Jon Fletcher provided coach 

education opportunities through 

the Locker Room series at Fever 

home games and April saw High 

Performance Coach Lyn Pemberton 

deliver a session on shooting 

technique to the attendees at the 

Netball WA AGM Conference. The 

Smarter than Smoking Association 

Championships in June provided 

another coach education opportunity 

for coaches and players alike, 

having High Performance coaches 

Jon Fletcher deliver sessions on 

circle defence and Lyn Pemberton 

deliver coach education sessions on 

shooter movements and rotation. 

Regional visits provided another 

platform for the regional coaches 

to get the opportunity for coach 

education sessions. 

State Netball League, High 

Performance Coaches and State 

Team coaches were invited to 

attend sessions with Jill McIntosh in 

September. The sessions covered 

analysis of the Australia versus New 

Zealand World Championship game, 

The Art of Winning and Staying 

Positive / Mental Toughness. 

In November Glenn Stewart, High 

Performance Manager of the West 

Coast Eagles followed up on Jill’s 

session on the Art of Winning 

delivering a session on Good Player 

or Good Coach. Jill also worked with 

potential High Performance coaches 

delivering a court session to the 19U 

State Academy athletes and gave 

the coaches valuable insight into the 

requirements of the High Performance 

Course on how to prepare themselves 

for the course. 

State Netball League Coaches, High 

Performance Coaches, Netball WA 

Specialist School Coaches, State 

Team Coaches, Regional Development 

Offi cers and Coaching Course 

Presenters were invited to attend the 

Netball WA professional development 

weekend based around the 

International Games in October. 

This professional development 

provided opportunity for our course 

presenters and coaches to attend 

presenter and coach up-skilling 

sessions with Netball Australia, 

Netball WA and Jill McIntosh. 

Netball WA once again looks 

forward to providing coach education 

and accreditation opportunities for 

members in 2012. 

Scoolnet, supported by 


ScoolNet has continued to maintain 

its high profi le status as a sporting 

program option in primary schools 

within Western Australia. The program 

has been able to directly infl uence 

and expose thousands of Western 

Australian primary school children 

by promoting, developing and 

providing access to netball in a fun 

and safe environment. The ScoolNet 

program continues to grow strongly, 

with 12481 students participating 

in the program through clinics 

or competitions.

Specialist Schools 

Netball WA in consultation with the 

Department of Education (DoE) 

continued to endorse four high 

schools as Specialist Netball Schools. 

These schools were Aranmore 

Catholic College, Darling Range 

Sports College, Melville Senior 

High School and Warwick Senior 

High School. 

All schools were required to meet 

specifi c standards and criteria set 

by Netball WA and the DoE and 

demonstrate that they could provide 

a program that follows the Netball WA 

athlete, coach and umpire pathways 

and focuses on the holistic approach 

to student development. 

Additionally, the Specialist Netball 

Schools received servicing from 

Netball WA in the areas of athlete, 

coach and umpire development and 

were expected to establish links to 

local clubs and associations and be 

affi liated to Netball WA. 


San Remo NetSetGO! 

San Remo NetSetGO! has been 

developed to provide children from 

5 to 10 years with the best possible 

learning and playing experience to 

develop a positive introduction to 

netball, ensuring enjoyment and 

continued participation. Individuals 

experience personal achievement in 

terms of competence, enhanced selfesteem, 

social co-operation and skill 

development in a fun environment. 

The San Remo NetSetGO! Program 

continues to support the broader 

community by offering Inclusion 

NetSetGO! to CaLD, Disability and 

Indigenous participants. The Inclusion 

NSG! Program is funded by Australian 

Sports Commission through Netball 

Australia to increase the quality 

of opportunity for marginalised 

or disadvantaged groups to play 

or volunteer in organised sports 

such as netball.

Umpiring 

The umpiring focus in 2011 was on 

talent identifi cation throughout all 

regions to increase the number of 

umpire coaches, mentors and testers 

across the state. During the season 

a total of 50 umpires were talent 

identifi ed. A total of 48 Umpires 

have been invited to participate in 

the Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League umpire squad in 2012 

with a further 28 umpires invited to 

participate in the 2012 Netball WA 

State Academy. 

2011 saw a marked increase in the 

number of badges awarded across 

the state, with a total of 158 umpires 

receiving badges in 2011, compared 

to 103 in 2010. This was a signifi cant 

improvement and the Netball WA 

Umpiring staff, Association and 

Regional Umpire Development 

Offi cers along with Netball WA’s High 

Performance Umpire Panel should 

be commended for the outstanding 

efforts during the season. 

Netball Australia Accredited Umpire Courses 

The badges were as follows: 

A Badge: 4 and 3 Endorsement 

B Badge: 13 

C Badge: 138 

The Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League Squad achieved a 

number of outstanding results in 2011 

including successfully exposing a 

number of new and young umpires 

to the Smarter Than Smoking State 

Netball League. Tara Crowley and 

Gemma Nevin were selected to 

umpire at the 17U and 19U National 

Netball Championship in Brisbane in 

April. A number of squad members 

were also given the opportunity to 

umpire during the Australian Netball 

League; Jaclyn Berry, Nathan Cera, 

Narelle Foster, Gemma Nevin, Laura

Green Shirt Program 

Netball WA continued to facilitate 

the Green Shirt Program, which was 

developed and supported by the 

Department of Sport and Recreation. 

The Green Shirt Program identifi es 

and promotes community awareness 

of umpires, recognises new offi cials 

and is used as an avenue to up 

skill the Green Shirt Coordinators 

within the associations. The program 

provides a clear pathway for umpire 

development and encourages 

beginner umpires. 

Umpires within this program were 

encouraged to complete the Level 1 

Umpires Course, Section 1 Theory 

Exam and Rules in Action session. 

A total of 31 netball associations took 

part in the program in 2011, thus 

representing an increase in both the 

number of associations and umpires 

participating in the program. 

Country Umpire Advantage Program 

The Country Umpire Advantage 

Program saw eight identifi ed umpires 

offered the opportunity to participate 

in a specifi c development weekend 

that included theory sessions and 

practical umpiring at the Perth 

Netball Association. Several of these 

umpires were then invited to join the 

2012 Smarter than Smoking State 

Netball League and State Academy 

Umpire Squads. 


Netball Australia - MO 

Development Squad 

Netball Australia identifi ed the 

need to provide a nationally 

consistent development program 

at Member Organisation level to 

increase the number of umpires 

successfully progressing to higher 

performance standards. 

Up to ten umpires can be selected 

in each MO and are provided with 

practical and theoretical development 

opportunities. Selected umpires may 

be umpires already in the national 

system working towards a higher 

badge or umpires identifi ed with 

the potential to be included in the 

national system. 

A senior mentor was appointed to 

each squad and was responsible for 

coordinating the Program on behalf of 

Netball Australia. In 2011 this mentor 

was Darlene Regali. 

The 2011 Netball WA MO Umpire 

Development Squad Umpires were: 

• Tara Crowley 

• Adriana Foster 

• Abigal Garay 

• Naomi Garay 

• Gemma Nevin 

• Chloe Thurkle

Note 1: Statement of Signifi cant Accounting Policies 

This fi nancial report is a special purpose fi nancial report prepared in order to 

satisfy the fi nancial reporting requirements of the Association’s Constitution. 

The Board has determined that the Association is not a reporting entity. 

The fi nancial report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements 

of the following Australian Accounting Standards: 

ASSB 1031: Materiality 

No other Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements 

of the Australian Accounting Standards Board have been applied. 

The fi nancial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based 

on historic costs and does not take into account changing money values, 

or except where specifi cally stated, current valuations of non-current assets. 

The following specifi c accounting policies, which are consistent with the 

previous period unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation 

of this fi nancial report. 

(a) Income Tax 

No provision for income tax has been raised as the Association is exempt from 

income tax. 

(b) Plant and equipment 

Items of plant and equipment are measured at cost less 

accumulated depreciation. 

When parts of an item of plant and equipment have different useful lives, they 

are accounted for as separate items. 

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of plant and equipment are determined 

by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of plant and 

equipment and are recognised net within “other income” in profi t or loss. 

Depreciation 

Depreciation is recognised in profi t or loss on a straightline and 

diminishing basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item 

of plant and equipment. 

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are 

as follows: 

2011 2010 

Plant and Equipment 3 years 3 years 

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each 

reporting date.

Notes to the Financial Statements Notes to the Financial Statements 


Note 1: Statement of Signifi cant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(c) Inventories 

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost 

of inventories is based on the fi rstin fi rstout principle, and includes expenditure 

incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing them to 

their existing location and condition. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 

business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. 

(d) Employee benefi ts 

Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefi ts arising from 

services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee benefi ts that are 

expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts 

expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefi ts payable later 

than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future 

cash outfl ows to be made for those benefi ts. 

(e) Provisions 

A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Association has 

a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and 

it is probable that an outfl ow of economic benefi ts will be required to settle 

the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future 

cash fl ows that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of money 

and the risks specifi c to the liability. 

(f) Revenue 

All revenue is recognised when received and is stated net of the amount of 

goods and services tax (GST). 

(g) Goods and services tax 

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods 

and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not 

recoverable from the Australian Taxation Offi ce. In these circumstances, the 

GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of 

the expense. 

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net 

amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Offi ce is 

included as a current asset or liability in the balance sheet. 

Cash fl ows are included in the statement of cash fl ows on a gross basis. 

The GST components of cash fl ows arising from investing and fi nancing 

activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classifi ed as 

operating cash fl ows.

Report on the Financial Report 

We have audited the attached fi nancial report, being a special 

purpose fi nancial report of Netball WA (Inc) for the fi nancial year 

ended 31 December 2011 as set out on pages 36 to 44. 

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Report 

The Association’s Board is responsible for the preparation of the 

fi nancial report and has determined that the basis of preparation 

described in Note 1 to the fi nancial report is appropriate to 

meet the requirements of the Association’s Constitution and is 

appropriate to meet the needs of the members. 

The Board’s responsibility also includes such internal as the 

directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a 

fi nancial report that is free from material misstatement, whether 

due to fraud or error. 

Auditor’s Responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi nancial report 

based on our audit. We have conducted our audit in accordance 

with Australian Auditing Standards. Those Standards require 

that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to 

audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain 

reasonable assurance whether the fi nancial report is free from 

material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence 

about the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial report. 

The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, 

including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement 

of the fi nancial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making 

those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control 

relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the 

fi nancial report in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of 

expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 

control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of 

accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall 

presentation of the fi nancial report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient 

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Independence 

In conducting our audit, we have complied with 

the independence requirements of the professional 

accounting bodies. 

Audit Opinion 

In our opinion, the fi nancial report of Netball WA (Inc) 

presents fairly the Association’s fi nancial position 

as at 31 December 2011 and its performance for 

the year ended on that date in accordance with 

the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the
