2022 Season Covid-19 Update

We are very pleased to be able to tell you that due to the recent Government announcements and easing of restrictions under the Covid Protection Framework RED setting Hamilton City Netball Centre is able to revert to our normal season operating procedures with some restrictions in place.

What does this mean?

  • My Vaccine Pass is NOT required for anyone entering the Centre and does not have to be uploaded into our system.
  • Contact Tracing and QR Scanning is NOT required although will still be available.
  • There are no limits to the number of people we can have in the Centre so spectators are welcome.
  • Our published playing days and times will be used.

What restrictions will still be in place?

  • All players, coaches, managers and umpires will still need to be registered with each team in Friendly Manager.
  • Masks are strongly encouraged when not playing/umpiring and when spectating.
  • Physical distancing is encouraged - spectators you are encouraged to watch from up on the grass banks.
  • Our canteen is able to open but there will be no tables and chairs inside.


NB. Teams in the Premier Indoor Open Grade playing at The Peak will receive a further email with the restrictions in place at The Peak.
Should the government change the Covid Protection Framework again to increase restrictions then we will follow all restrictions, requirements and advice from the Government, Sport NZ and Netball NZ.
THANK YOU!!! We really appreciate the patience and support from our community as we navigate our way through the ever changing restrictions due to this global pandemic. We are so very pleased to be able to get our season up and going with few restrictions. We have our fingers, toes and everything crossed that we are able to have a full and un-interrupted 2022 season XX.

2022 Covid Protection Framework Policy - UPDATE
The HCNC Board have this morning implemented a change to the 2022 Covid Protection Framework Policy following the recent announcement from the Ministry of Education and advice from Sport New Zealand and Netball New Zealand. Full policy with addition available on the website.
This change means that a My Vaccine Pass is not required for any child or youth who is a player on a netball team which is representing a registered School.
If your child or youth plays for a Club team then a My Vaccine Pass will still be required if they are over the age of 12 years and 3 months.
If you are a coach, manager or umpire over the age of 12 years and 3 months for a School team then you will still require a My Vaccine Pass.
We hope this means that many more children and youth will be able to return to netball this season and will also decrease the administration requirements for Schools under the Covid Protection Framework.

2022 Covid Protection Framework Policy and Plan
The Hamilton City Netball Centre Board has implemented the 2022 Covid Protection Framework Policy (full policy attached and available on the website).
“From 08 February 2022 only workers, members, participants, and spectators who have a current valid My Vaccine Pass will be able to access the Centre at 6 Moore St, Minogue Park unless they are exempt due to being under the age of 12 years and 3 months or are exempt under clause 5.4.”
The policy has been implemented so that we can offer netball as fully as possible under the Governments Covid Protection Framework. We seek to be inclusive, however there are restrictions placed on community sport at the Red, Orange and Green settings in terms of capacity and separation of teams/groups, which the Centre exceeds in core competitions and programmes, if My Vaccine Pass is not used.
We appreciate that this may be frustrating and upsetting for some of our community. Please bear in mind that Hamilton City Netball Centre must follow the requirements of the government and our governing bodies. Please be respectful to the staff and volunteers who are doing their best to provide opportunities to our community.
The Covid Protection Framework Plan (attached and available on the website) sets out how the Policy will be put into action. This document will be supplemented by Entry and Exit procedures which has details for all who enter the Centre. The processes are similar to what we used in Covid-19 Level 2 in 2020. A Quick Summary Guide to the Covid Protection Framework is attached.
Summer League in 2022 will be offered to Open Grade (A grade, B Grade, Social and Mixed) on Monday nights from 28th February. A separate email will be sent out and information available shortly on our website.
Poipoia te Manawa Skill sessions will be offered for Year 3-8, U14, U16 from 28th February. A separate email will be sent out and information available on our website shortly.

Covid-19 (Omicron) Covid Protection Framework Update for 2022 Season
2022 has certainly not started how any of us would have liked with a move to the RED setting in the Covid Protection Framework (CPF).
We know that our Hamilton City netball community are wanting certainty on what the 2022 season will look like and we would love to give this to you. The reality is we can’t.   At present, requirements from the government and guidelines and advice from Sport NZ are literally changing daily. We are 3 months out from the start of the main season and many more changes are predicted.

What can we tell you as of today (28 January 2022)? 

  • The staff and board are working hard in the background attending meetings, seeking advice and making the decisions that are currently possible.
  • We are planning for a full 2022 season like we had in 2019 (Can you believe it has been that long since a full season?!)
  • If we are unable to deliver a full season we have plans A, B, C, D, E…….. if netball can happen.
  • It is very likely that My Vaccine Pass (MVP) for 12 years + will be required for entry into the Centre and participation in netball. 
  • As of today netball under RED in the CPF would look very similar to Level 2 in 2020 with extended days and hours of play, restricted numbers per block of court, no spectators and contact tracing. 
  • A decision on Summer Leagues and Poipoia te Manawa Skill Sessions will be made next week and communicated as soon as possible and registrations opened. These are still scheduled to start on 28th February 2022.

What are we going to do?

  •  After Netball NZ releases their next advisement (expected in the next 2 weeks), then we will release a brief overview of how we are expecting to operate in each setting in the CPF.
  • The Competition Structure and Regulations will be out 01 March when registrations for all competitions open.
  • Closer to the start of the season we will release the detailed Covid-19 processes and procedures for each competition as we did in 2020.

What can you do?

  • We suggest that all Clubs and Schools plan on MVP being a requirement for 12years + to participate in netball.
  • Be patient. We will give you as much information as we can, as soon as we can.
  • Be kind. This pandemic is hard on everyone and affects everyone in different ways. We are a community and we ask that you respect all members of the community and their circumstances and choices. Where we possibly can we will offer options or alternatives.

 

2021

08th September 2021
It is with deep disappointment that we announce that the remainder of the Hamilton City Netball Season has been CANCELLED.


Unfortunately operating netball under Level 2(Delta) is not the same as what we experienced in Level 2 in 2020. There are stricter guidelines that need to be adhered to and as we type this there is still uncertainty on the full nature of these guidelines from Sport NZ. The Centre does not feel that we are in a position to adhere to these guidelines in a way that keeps all of our netball community and our wider community safe in these circumstances.


This is a brief message as we felt that it was important to get this information out to you quickly. The Centre will be working on what the cancellation of the season means and sending out further communication to Clubs in the coming weeks.


We would like to take this opportunity to Thank all of the staff and volunteers who have been working long hours in the background to try to get the season back up and going in any form we could.

23 August 2021

The extension of the Government's Covid-19 Level 4 today brings an extension of the cancellation of netball through to Sunday 28th August.

We realise that only Auckland is at this stage in Level 4 for the weekend. However the short period between coming out of Level 4 and a move to a level where netball is possible, doesn't leave enough preparation time for a return to play.

When we return to netball we want to make sure everyone is ready: players, coaches, managers, volunteers and staff.

20 August 2021

Today's Government extension of Covid Level 4 until 11.59pm on Tuesday 24 August, was unfortunately not unexpected. That means Monday and Tuesday games and trainings are cancelled.

If you missed our previous Facebook post School Sport NZ have this evening cancelled Winter tournament week which includes UNISS.

Please check in on friends, family and neighbours. This a tough time for everyone and that phone call or message could really help someone who is struggling.

19 August 2021

With continuing COVID-19 community cases emerging today and the desire to keep our netball community safe and at home with their families, we have made the decision to extend the CANCELLATION of netball until at least Sunday 22nd August.

We do not know at this stage WHEN netball will be able to resume. We will make decisions, put into place our plans and pass on the information to you as quickly as we can. Our decisions and action plans are led by the Government, Sport New Zealand, Hamilton City Council and a range of other bodies.

Please remember that under the current Government COVID-19 levels netball can only resume under Level 2 with a range of processes and procedures in place. Our staff and volunteers need a minimum of 48 hours in Level 2 to be able to put these processes and procedures in place before netball in any form can resume.

If netball is able to resume then the structure of each competition will be communicated with you. These structures may be different to what we have been playing under up until now.If you are looking for something to do during lockdown check out our website and re-visit all of the activities we posted during the 2020 lockdown. https://netballhamilton.org.nz/covid-19#staysafe #wecandothisagain

17 August 2021

The Government has announced thatfrom 11.59pm tonight Tuesday 17 August, all of New Zealand will move to Alert Level 4. This measure will remain in place for 3 days from 11:59pm today.  This means that all netball at Minogue Park and at The Peak, including trainings, are cancelled on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We will update you as soon as we have information as to whether Saturday and Sunday games can go ahead.#staysafe #wecandothisagain

2020

28/02/21

The government has announced that we are in Level 2 again from 6am this morning until Sunday.  Monday Open Grade Double Up League and Friday Mixed Double Up League WILL go ahead with Level 2 processes and procedures in place. Emails will be sent to teams with further information. Please make sure that your contact details are up to date and that every person in your team, including Coaches and Managers, are registered with full contact details. All Skill Sessions WILL go ahead with Level 2 processes and procedures in place. Emails will be sent out with further information.We all did this last year, we all did this earlier this month, we can all do it again

21/09/20

The government has announced we will be in Level 1 from midnight tonight!  This means that netball can finish the season under Level 1 guidelines and Level 1 days and times for each competition. Our team is working on finalising details right now and will get the Level 1 draw times out to Club and Team Managers ASAP with some further information.

We have had feedback that some teams would like to stay with the Level 2 days and times for the last week. While we can see that this would be less disruptive for some teams, there are many teams who for a variety of reasons, have been unable to play under Level 2. We really want them to have the opportunity to finish the season with us and be part of the enjoyment of playing netball.Level 1 is going to mean more people at the Centre.

Please be patient and be kind as we all adjust to being back in larger crowds. And please extend this courtesy to our neighbours and think about where you are going to park your car.Covid-19 has not gone so please remember: Personal Hygiene Stay home if unwell Keep track of where you've been.  Lets finish this season with sunshine and lots of smiles!

24/08/20

Today's government announcement has us staying under Covid Level 2 until at least 11.59pm Sunday 6th September.

We have proven in the last 7 days that we can play netball at Hamilton City Netball Centre under Level 2 and meet all the guidelines from 7 different official bodies. It just takes all teams working together and following the processes and procedures and some hard work from the staff and volunteer team (worth it for the smiles we have been seeing!).  So we are going to do our very best to continue to provide netball for you in the next 2 weeks.

What we are asking of our community to make this possible is:

- Keep following the processes and procedures - they are there to keep everyone safe.

- Be patient - our staff and volunteer team are working long hours in the background to get all the information you need to you.

- Wait for information to come out - please don't phone or email the Centre or the staff unless it is urgent and directly related to netball in the next 2 weeks. The more time taken up with answering queries the longer it takes to get information to you.

- Be Kind - we are all in this together. It is "weird" and "strange" and "really detailed and time consuming" to be able to play netball in Level 2. But we all agree we want to play!

#staysafe #wecandothis

20/08/20

Clarification for Year 7-8, Secondary and Open Grades:
The TIMES ON DRAW INCLUDE THE WARM UP TIME.
eg Draw for your team says 12.15pm
12.05pm - you will line up at your court number cone outside the Centre
12.15pm - your team will be let into the Centre and move to your court for your Warm Up
12.45pm - your game will start

17/08/20

Further information on how entry and exit procedures will occur has been sent to Club Managers with Contact Tracing forms. There is a specific form for futureFERNs competitions .
Further information specific to each competition and the draw for each competition. There will be format changes to some competitions will follow in the coming days.
HUGE Thank you for all the positive messages you have been sending through - we really appreciate them :)

16/08/20


Club Managers, Coaches and Mangers have been emailed information on what days and times netball competitions will operate under Level 2 starting from Tuesday 18th August. We have included for a map of the courts with illustrations of how netball will operate, as well as a day by day timetable

Further information specific to each competition, the draw for each competition and entry and exit procedures will follow in the coming days. There will be format changes to some competitions.
The situation is changing constantly and quickly.  We are balancing the need to get information out to you with the need to wait for the government and the Ministry of Health to provide information to Sport New Zealand and other bodies who provide us with guidelines on how and if we can operate. 
Netball is the one of the most complex sports to operate under Level 2 as we hold all of our games in one location with so many people involved. (HCNC currently has 492 teams over 12 competitions – this equates to over 6000 people when you take into consideration players, umpires, coaches and managers).
Now is the time to work together, be patient and be kind. We are all in this together and we all want to keep everyone safe while at the same time remaining connected to the netball community and playing the sport we love.

Netball NZ - COVID-19 Alert Level 2 Announcement

With New Zealand moving to Alert Level 2 tonight, Netball NZ stresses the fact this does not mean a return to Netball activity as yet.

In light of Sport NZ today confirming that the 10-person gathering limit now applies to all community sport, Netball NZ will implement a three-phased approach return to Netball:

▪ Get Ready to Play ▪ Prepare to Play ▪ Return to Play

This approach is based off the Government recommendation of a considered return to community sport and is supported by all six winter codes; Netball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Rugby League and Rugby Union.

PHASE 1

Get Ready to Play - Netball Centres can open on or after 15 May 2020 but no training is to commence.

Centres must be confident that they fully understand all Level 2 guidelines for sport and ensure that the following requirements can be met to ensure the safety of all staff.

• Centres with staff must complete a Worksafe plan - https://worksafe.govt.nz/dmsdocument/27557-covid-19-safety-plan-templateword-version/latest

• Centres with staff must complete the Risk Assessment for returning staff and contractors form (attached and at this link here)

• All Centres must meet Hygiene and Sanitation requirements - https://sportnz.org.nz/covid-19/sector-advice/hygiene-and-sanitation-guidance/

• All Centres must meet Contact Tracing requirements (find the log here )

• All Centres must meet physical distancing requirements.

Netball NZ asks Netball Centres to adhere to a “Get Ready to Play’ period of a minimum of two weeks, subject to further government update on numbers permitted for community sport.

With this in mind, there will be NO Netball activity, training or playing permitted during this ‘Get Ready to Play’ period.

During the ‘Get Ready’ period we recommend Centres take the time to fully understand the guidelines and plan the measures that need to be taken to ensure their facility is prepared to safely move into the Prepare to Play phase (when trainings will be permitted)
These measures include what ‘must’ be done such as contact tracing, physical distancing & hygiene and sanitation requirements.

We will release further information on these requirements early next week and the timing around when we can enter the ‘Prepare to Play’ phase, and what this looks like in regards to training. Timings regarding when training can commence will be subject to government updates on numbers permitted for grassroots sport.

While Netball NZ is delighted that Kiwis are a step closer to retuning to netball courts around the country, it is crucial that all Centres, clubs and schools understand the requirements and are confident in implementing these to ensure the safety of all participants.

You are our experts in delivering Netball to our participants and we believe this is a great opportunity to show our communities how Netball can lead the way for organised sport in New Zealand. Netball New Zealand will provide detailed guidance around timeframes and the government requirements; however, Centres will be responsible to ensure that all safety requirements are met and Centres who will be held accountable if these guidelines are breached. We need to take the time to get this right.

Once again, we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time and will provide further information on the phased approach early next week.

Covid-19 Update

Following today's announcement by the government that we will be moving to Level 2 on Thursday 14 May, we would like to remind you that Netball NZ and our Centre will be releasing more information in the coming days.

The information coming out soon will provide more detail on when we can return to training, when and how competitions can start, how contact tracing will work, what hygiene measures will be in place and how this will effect the use of the Centre.

We Thank You for your patience in this while we work hard to make sure it is safe for everyone to come back to netball.

We are so very nearly there! Enjoy visiting your friends and family and giving them a hug from Thursday.

Sport NZ / Netball NZ Update

Today has been a huge day for Community Sport with important announcements from the Government and from Sport NZ as we look to move into Level 2. Netball NZ are working hard on guidelines for our sport from the general Sport NZ guidelines.

The below is the information just sent to us from Netball New Zealand. We will keep you updated next week as more details are determined. We Thank You for your patience as we work towards doing all we have to do to get everyone back on court safely.

"This afternoon the government announced the guidelines that will be applicable when we move to Level 2. The good news is that organised sport at Community level can start to work towards a return, subject to some very important conditions relating to hygiene, contract tracing and mass gatherings being met.
Sport NZ have published these guidelines on its website available at this link https://sportnz.org.nz/…/Play-Active-Recreation-Sport-Alert… These include guidance around hygiene, contract tracing and mass gatherings, and how these apply to various forms of play, active recreation and sport.

It is important that all sports take time to fully understand the guidelines and how they will be implemented to ensure that a return to participation and play is both safe and compliant
“We expect that sports will take some time to understand what this means, so people should expect a phased approach of getting organised, establishing appropriate protocols and ensuring volunteers, participants and supporters know how to follow them.” says Sport NZ CEO Peter Miskimmin

A key priority for Netball is having surety that we can ensure a safe well managed environment for return to play that complies with all ministry guidelines. We will need to ensure that not only our players, but our netball system is prepared for play before we can successfully return to play.

We will be giving full consideration to these guidelines, ensuring there is clarity across the system with robust and detailed plans before restarting any activity, be it training or competitions.

As a sport the risk is that any failure to manage health and safety effectively will come back in the form of another COVID-19 wave. We need your collective support in being measured in how operations are restarted.

We will update you further early next week on the ongoing process from here."

COVID-19 effects on Netball - Update

The move to Alert Level 3 from Tuesday 28th April, does not bring any change from Lockdown/Level 4 conditions in terms of being able to play or train for netball.  Staff will also continue to work from home at Level 3.

At this stage it is not clear what, if any, netball will be able to be participated in at Level 2.  Netball NZ is keeping us updated as they receive information and decisions from Sport NZ. 

Hamilton City Netball Centre is committed to getting people back out participating in netball.  This will only happen when it is safe to do so as per the Ministry of Health and Sport NZ guidelines.

Please make the most of the Hamilton City Netball Centre COVID-19 webpages, Facebook and Instagram to keep yourself engaged with the community and up to date with the latest information.

COVID-19 - Level 4 - Lockdown

https://covid19.govt.nz/

We are at Level 4 of New Zealand’s four-level COVID-19 alert system. It is likely Level 4 measures will stay in place for a number of weeks. 

Everyone should stay at home. This is the best thing we can all do to stop the spread of COVID-19. This will save lives.

The game of Netball will not be resuming in any form until the government lifts the Lockdown and allows sport to resume.

We will send out information to Club and Team Managers as and when it becomes available to us.

Do watch out on our website and Facebook pages in the coming weeks for ways in which you can still be part of the sport we all love from your home

Stay safe and stay at home so that we can see you all back on the courts in the near future.

2020 HCNC Netball Season Registrations

As you will be aware due to COVID-19 and the advisory of Netball New Zealand, all netball competitions are postponed until Saturday 2 May 2020 at the earliest.

Please enter your teams into the appropriate competition and grade by 09 April 2020.  If you have not held trials yet estimate the number of teams you have and the grade they will be in.  We would prefer you to over-estimate the number of teams that you may have.  Teams can be removed later if needed.  A Team Manager and Umpire are required before teams can be approved.  Players names can be added at a later stage when you have these confirmed. 

We will send out invoices as usual for entered teams that are approved.  Once the season starts we can process any refunds required.

Netball New Zealand Coronavirus (COVID-19) Community Netball Advisory

Netball New Zealand (NNZ) and the five netball Zones have met to discuss the latest developments and government announcements in respect of the national response to Covid-19.

NNZ has put out an advisory to all Centres today Tuesday 17 March

Hamilton City Netball Centre (HCNC) is adhering to all the items in the advisory of NNZ as follows.  HCNC asks that Clubs and schools also follow the NNZ advisory.                                                                                                                                           

All netball competitions are to be postponed until Saturday 2 May 2020 at the earliest. 

All community events, competitions, programmes, tournaments, workshops and player development programmes planned and in progress are to be postponed until Saturday 2 May at the earliest.  This means for HCNC that all Summer Leagues, Skills Sessions, Development Academies and Coach and Umpire course which are currently in progress or planned have been cancelled as of today.  HCNC will not be holding the Pre-Season Tournament on 18th April. 

Umpires, officials, coaches and managers meetings to prepare for a May start will be conducted online wherever practicable. Where this is not practicable, all current Ministry of Health recommendations around safe practises will be adhered to.

Recognising the need for teams to prepare for a competition starting from 2 May at the earliest, clubs and schools in the process of trialling, naming teams and commencing trainings are to postpone until four weeks before the start of their competition or the first week in April at the earliest.  Given the changing environment this position may change in coming weeks. HCNC trials were scheduled for after 01 April and at this stage will be continuing as planned.

The Centre AGM will be postponed until May at the earliest.

Court hireage for practices will be postponed until Tuesday 05 May at the earliest.

Netball New Zealand and the Zones are liaising with government officials at national and regional levels in both health and sport constantly, monitoring all developments and reviewing the above advisory fluidly and in response to the changing environment.  HCNC will stay in constant contact with NNZ and our Zone and will follow any further advisories.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we move through these difficult times.  We will do everything we can to get our community playing on our brand new courts as soon as it is safe to do so.
