3 Objectives Grow and Sustain Participation Strengthen Delivery Structure

(volunteers) Improve Regional Capability and

capacity to deliver (Regions, Associations, Clubs & Schools)

1. Grow & Sustain Participation

Small Sticks – completed into 21 schools 3 still to complete

Summer Hockey – 52 teams 16 Stratford/32 New Plymouth (2013 37 teams 14 Stratford/23 New Plymouth)

Increase winter numbers ^ by 258 players

Holiday/after school programmes STAR/HEAT Fun

Fun Sticks - NP every term, Stratford 2 terms, Waitara offered but no one turned up, Inglewood term 4.

Hockey in Opunake – now well established after 3 years in term 1.

New Youth Programme – Renegade Hockey - no details yet from HNZ currently under Pilot at several associations

2. Strengthen Delivery Structure

Volunteers – Still needs work to attract new volunteers rather than over utilize our current ones!

Grow and sustain coaches 2 x coaches supported to attend HNZ courses. Mark Hager talk

attracted a few. Coaching Director in place but JD needs to be reviewed.

Grow and sustain umpires Kiwisport umpire development (still requires further work) plus have

invited new umpires along to be supported at summer league.

Train new coaches Through the small sticks in school programme. Open sessions for junior

coaches held after junior hockey in New Plymouth well received.

Increase new umpires – what more can we do?

Constitution

Act to maximise the number of people playing youth hockey.

Assume a secondary or primary school has acted in good faith.

Provide secondary and primary schools with the opportunity to remedy any deficiencies without penalty

Encourage rather than compel compliance with the rules.

5 members form a quorum The Youth Council shall have sole power to appoint

selectors, coaches, and managers of the youth representative teams, subject to ratification by the Board.

Proposal

5 members of THF community representing Representative Hockey

5 members of THF community representing High School Hockey

5 members of THF community representing Junior Hockey

Ideally there will be some element of regional or school based representation in each group. Appointments made on best fit for group. - (i.e. all high school members aren't from the same school and both co-ed, large and medium sized high schools are all represented and not all Junior members are from North and both Central & North are represented).

Members will be elected at the AGM by the THF board.

Members will be given between 1-3 year terms ensuring that members are not all retiring at the same time.

Members of sub-committee to hold meetings as required and join together as TYC to share joint issues twice yearly (minimum).

Jobs for Rep Committee

Confirm to OM rep team entries annually (which comp we should enter). – Representative Strategy.

Shoulder tap and advise OM of potential candidates for teams. Formal recruitment process for coaches & managers.

Follow and action representative policy. Organise specialist rep training by specialist coaches to

be attended by all teams in advance of rep season. Inform OM what gear is to be purchased for the year. Organise a meeting (training) for coaches and another for

managers to pass on best practice and information around tournaments.

Review rep season with parents, coaches, managers and players – feedback to TYC.

Jobs for High School Committee

How can clubs support High School. Advise OM start dates for season by January. Advise OM tournament formats for comps Advise of finals formats for comps. Support OM with comp draws and team

placings. Source tournament controllers for comps. Allocate umpires to games. Identify new volunteers. Be a point of contact and visible for High

School hockey.

Jobs for Junior Committee

Propose how to merge intermediate grade. Format for Pennington Cup. How can clubs support juniors. Advise OM start dates for season by January. Advise OM tournament formats for comps. Support OM with comp draws and team placings. Source tournament controllers for comps. Allocate umpires to games. Indentify and engage new volunteers. Be a point of contact and visible for junior

Taranaki Youth Council

Four meetings per year attended by all members of sub-committees.

Goal – grow/sustain/develop hockey in Taranaki

1 pre season – term 1

1 during season – term 2

1 – term 3 1 post season – term 4

Feedback from each sub committees. -Reps

As required. Review all feedback. New projects for 2016. Confirm season start dates & formats.

TYC Comments/Recommendations

Group agreed with the principle of the proposal (split into three sub-committees) although concerns around the removal of regional representation.

Important to ensure that there is one member that oversees/reports to each sub-committee this will ensure consistency of decision making in areas of overlap.

Should be 5 people (one to ensure votes can be moved one way or the other) on each committee.

Need to ensure that sub-committee and TYC have specific guidelines and clear outlines as to their role and responsibilities and what decision making they are responsible for.

TYC suggested that the presentation is forwarded to hockey community for feedback.

No. of TYC meetings held is not to be set, has been suggested to hold termly but maybe keep this open depending on demand.

What’s Next – Public Consultation
