Podcasts about Netball

In 2014, Tonga had no national netball team, coach, squad, or training facilities. Determined to change that, former television news anchor Salote Sisifa became CEO of Tonga Netball and promised the board that within five years she would build a team capable of competing internationally and reaching the world's top 10 by 2025. If she failed, she would resign. Alongside, Head Coach Jaqua Pori-Makea-Simpson, Salote propelled Tonga from 42nd to seveth in the world rankings navigating national disaster, the Covid-19 pandemic, and restricted resources along the way. This episode of The Documentary Podcast examines Tonga's extraordinary journey and how they have become a formidable force on the international stage. Their next milestone is their Commonwealth Games debut in 2026.

Question marks continue to hang over the future of Netball's ANZ Premiership. It is the third straight year players have entered the season without certainty over the competition's future, with Netball NZ relying on a series of short-term broadcast deals to keep the league going. Players' Association General Manager Pippa Moore spoke to John Campbell.

The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games are due to get under way in a couple of weeks, and the pressure's on for the Silver Ferns. The team are in camp currently, and their first match against Scotland will mark 634 days since Dame Noeline Taurua's last match in charge after she was controversially stood down. Taurua says getting back into coaching the side was like 'riding a horse' and she's 'amped' to get things going. "There's just a really good vibe out there, so I believe we have selected well."

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Netball: 7/10 Because the pleas I have heard this week from players, and coaches, and fans to save the thing have all had passion attached to them, and passion is no bad thing. Michelin: 9/10 It did exactly what we paid for; got buzz, got vibes, got tables booked, and reps confirmed. It's quite possibly a tourism-cum-marketing masterstroke. Chris Hipkins: 4/10 The Michelin misread was next level cloth-ear. Keep that up and the campaign is over. Serena and Mark: 4/10 As in Williams and Mitchell. The common thread? Age and injury. You've got to know when to fold 'em. The All Blacks: 8/10 New era, new season, easy spanking for the opener given it's the French away, and not even a good French away.

The ongoing uncertainty surrounding netball's ANZ Premiership looks set to remain. A group of players, along with the Netball Players Association, sat down with Netball New Zealand this week to discuss the future. No broadcast partner is signed for 2027, leaving the league in limbo. NZNPA General Manager Pippa Moore wouldn't go into the detail of the talks, but told Mike Hosking there's no simple resolution. She says it's not about the players getting a better deal, it's about making sure there's a future for the game they love. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand netballers are nervously awaiting a decision about the future of their domestic competition. For the third year running, players went into the ANZ Premiership unsure about the future of the league. Some players have been looking to Australia for their next contract. Former Australian Diamonds Coach Lisa Alexander spoke to John Campbell.

There's concerns New Zealand's top netballers could be pushed to look overseas, amid concerns about the future of the nation's domestic competition. The Northern Mystics recently won the ANZ Premiership, but there's no word yet from Netball New Zealand on plans for next season. Northern Mystics goal shooter and former Silver Fern Maia Wilson says there's a lot of 'uncertainty' around the future of the sport. "It's really scary times for us as professional netballers in New Zealand. I guess, as a part of the Mystics, we've had a delay in that because we've focused on the last two weeks about having a grand final...but since the dust has started to settle on that, a lot of people are scared."

Some of New Zealand's best netballers are questioning the lack of transparency around the future of the professional game on Kiwi shores. It's the third year in a row that Netball New Zealand is negotiating the future of the ANZ Premiership, with players already taking a 20 percent pay cut. Silver Fern Amelia Walmsley spoke to John Campbell.

Angst continues to surround netball's future. Players and coaches alike are lashing out, saying there's still no clarity on next season's ANZ Premiership. It comes after a 20% pay cut, another expiring TV deal, and three straight years of uncertainty. Northern Mystics Head Coach Tia Winikerei told Mike Hosking the product is great, and she's not sure what would need to change to get people to invest. She says they've regularly had sell-out crowds throughout the regular season and have performed on the world stage for many years. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lock-down defensive effort on the Steel shooters by Mystics' goal keep Phoenix Karaka has been highlighted as key to the Mystic's ANZ Premiership title win.

Netball New Zealand officially has a new CEO. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited deputy chairwoman Jennah Wootten has been appointed to the role, taking over from interim CEO Jane Patteron in August. Her appointment follows a troubled year for Netball NZ, including the resignation of former CEO Jennie Wyllie, the situation surrounding Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua, and their struggles to find a new broadcast deal for the ANZ Premiership. Wootten has plenty of experience in both the business and leadership side of things, and she told Mike Hosking they'll be helpful in ensuring the sport and the organisation can reach its full potential. She says there will be a focus on ensuring the grassroots game is thriving, and that the elite competition is doing incredible things, but a big focus for her coming into the role will be the commercial pressures. And one of those pressures is broadcasting, with the current ANZ Premiership deal set to end at the end of this year. Wootten told Hosking the Board and team at Netball NZ are working really hard to find a solution, but things aren't yet at a place where they can be shared publicly. “We want to make sure that we have got as many eyeballs on the sport as possible, because that helps all of us into the future.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Six rounds in and we have a new ladder leader. It was the match we'd all been waiting for and in their first meeting of 2026, the Melbourne Vixens surprised the Adelaide Thunderbirds shooters by injecting Jo Weston into goal keeper. The rest is history. The other big thing to note of course, was netball's new broadcast agreement, as we switch back from Fox Sports to Nine for the next five years. A good deal? Or is it like going back to a shitty ex? We explore all the details left off the announcement that fans need to know.

Hands up—who knew the ANZ Premiership starts tomorrow? This is netball. I'm guessing not many hands went up, which is a worry. It's somewhat forgivable, given the state of netball's head office at the moment. It doesn't have a permanent CEO, and the chair and several board members have recently resigned. So you can understand why things are a bit of a mess and the communication strategy isn't quite working. But it's also not forgivable, because this is a pivotal season for netball. This season has to work. It probably won't, but it at least needs the best possible chance, because professional netball in this country is fighting for its life. There's no broadcast deal this year. Sky pulled out at the end of last year, so netball has had to pay TVNZ just to get it on TV2. That means there's no money coming in from Sky, and players have had to take a 20% pay cut—those who are still here, anyway. Nine Silver Ferns have already moved to the Australian competition, where they earn double what they do here. And that will keep happening unless the local competition can start generating revenue again and paying players properly. So you can see how important it is that this season gets things moving in the right direction. It seems netball bosses are pinning their hopes on free-to-air TV being the game changer. Before, you had to pay to watch; now you can watch for free on TV2. The idea is you might fall in love with it again, start watching regularly, maybe even go to matches—and before long, netball secures another deal with Sky. But will you watch it again? Will you love it again when nine Silver Ferns are already gone, and the competition isn't as strong as it was last year—when you probably weren't watching anyway? Probably not. And the fact that neither of us even knew the season was about to start is probably not a good omen. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
