1NETBALL WA 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
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.
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.
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.
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.

Netball WA Staff
4 NETBALL WA 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
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
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
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.

6 NETBALL WA 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
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
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.

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 skill-
set 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
Smarter than Smoking
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
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.
Inclusion Program -
Disability
2011 saw Netball WA reconnect
with the Disability sector and take
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.

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
Smarter than Smoking
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.

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.

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 self-
esteem, 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.
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
Payne and Chloe Thurkle. Narelle
Foster also travelled to Adelaide
to umpire in the Australian Netball
League. The Member Organisation
Exchange Program operated in 2011
with Chloe Thurkle and Gemma
Nevin given the opportunity to gain
experience by umpiring in Netball
South Australia’s State Netball
League Competition.
Jacqui Jashari and Paula Ferguson
umpired in the ANZ Championship.
Paula Ferguson umpired at the World
Netball Championships where she
was allocated the semi-fi nal match
between New Zealand and England.
Ferguson was also awarded the
Gibson and Gibson Offi cial of the Year
at the 2011 ANZ Sports Star Awards
in December.
Jashari was also a member of Netball
Australia’s Grading and Endorsement
Panel in 2011.

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.

the year ended on that date in accordance with
the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the

the basis of accounting. The fi nancial report has

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.
