Netball New Zealand chief executive Jennah Wootton is reiterating the new domestic league will be set-up and run as a partnership. Investors Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams will fund a privatised competition, starting next year, where they will hold the licence for the league and teams. Wootten's insisting the national body will retain plenty of say in how the league is formed and overseen. She told Mike Hosking that was really important to them, as they want to make sure the new league is set up and operating with the ambition they've all talked about.

While team ownership, player contracts, scheduling and broadcasting are yet to be finalised, the initial agreement has Wootton eager for next steps.

Let's not underestimate just how bold Netball New Zealand's decision is to hand control of the ANZ Premiership to private investors. To be fair, the netball bosses have probably had little choice. The sport was heading towards ruin in this country without outside help. Eighteen of our best players have signed contracts to play in overseas competitions next year. That includes almost the entire Silver Ferns squad that went to the Commonwealth Games, with the exception of just two players, one of whom has suffered an ACL injury. No broadcaster wanted to put netball on television without Netball New Zealand covering the production costs. And in a single season, Netball New Zealand lost $3.7 million simply trying to keep the engine running. This could not continue much longer. Probably not even for another year. That's why the netball bosses have likely had no real option but to let private money take over. But the fact their backs were against the wall doesn't detract from how bold this decision is. Netball is the first of our traditional sports to truly pull the trigger on handing control to private interests. You could argue rugby went first with Super Rugby, but rugby's administrators never really ceded much control. In fact, they didn't give up any meaningful control at all. You could also argue cricket got there earlier with the T20 deal announced this year. But we don't know the full details of that arrangement, if the parties themselves even do. And that competition isn't due to start until January 2028, whereas this netball deal has to be finalised within weeks. The licence will soon be handed over to Ali Williams and Anna Mowbray. It's happening. This is the beginning of the privatisation of our traditional sports. Netball has probably been forced to move first because it's in the greatest financial trouble. But that may also prove to be its silver lining. Going first means getting the money first. And not just the money. It also means gaining the commercial expertise of successful business people such as Anna Mowbray. Don't underestimate the value of that. Here's hoping it works. Frankly, it probably couldn't have gone much worse than where it was headed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Netball New Zealand has latched onto the lifeline offered by Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams to keep the elite domestic competition afloat in 2027.

Financial wellbeing is one of the single biggest causes of stress for Kiwis. And money is a very emotional thing.Having forged a career as a tax specialist, business owner and Chartered Accountant, Jono Bredin is the proud CEO of Enable.Me - a business whose core purpose is to change the financial lives of hardworking New Zealanders.Enable Me has been around for the last 14-15 years and is the brainchild of Hannah McQueen, an amazing human who revolutionised the way Kiwis think about their finances. Jono shares how Hannah is a Visionary, with all the incredible ideas at rapid pace. He stepped in to run alongside her & help her with some of the heavy lifting, so that she could focus on what she is best at.That's what really brought EOS to the front of his mind as a tool that could take Enable Me to that next level - being able to harness the absolute best of Hannah in an organised way. He shares how they started implementing with 15 people on their leadership team, and through EOS introducing more rigor and accountability to these roles, they now have a leadership team of 6.Not only is Jono the CEO & Integrator, he is also a customer of Enable.Me."What sticks with me, as I went through my journey, was that I thought I was good with money. I was an accountant. But when you actually turn up the dial, what are you frittering away each week? And how could we be using that to get you ahead faster?For people who've got family, how do we help them achieve the goals that they've got for their children and for the next generation?We are ultimately trying to build out a personal or a family's cash surplus, that's the first stage of the journey. Then it's how do we put that surplus to work? How can it be multiplied by doing things in a certain way?"Every person in New Zealand can use financial literacy and financial accountability to get ahead faster. Even those people who think they are good with money, Jono included, can benefit from a layer of accountability that Enable Me provides.In his spare time, Jono is a National Rugby Referee, having also officiated Netball to the highest international level.

Doesn't it feel like the last netballer out can turn out the lights? By my count, 13 of our best are off. Eight to Australia, four to the UK, and it could be 16 by the time it's all over. Like Super Rugby, hockey, and cricket, netball is not, it seems, commercially viable in a national organisation type of way. TV rights are an issue, and they are an issue because the inescapable truth is a lot of us aren't that gripped by the sports anymore. The world is full of entertainment and the more accessible it is the more we drift off to new interests. I read a worthy piece by a bloke called Dr Chris McMillan, who bemoaned private money coming to potentially save these sports. He argued private money is not good because it put owners before players and, most of all, before the wider community. The trouble with academics of course is they don't live in the real world. What does he want? Netball run as a national organisation going broke (they are millions in the hole), or a millionaire with good intentions saving the sport? You should read his piece. He tells you everything that's wrong and tells you these are tricky issues but offers no solutions. The solutions are simple and they are global. Virtually all great, popular, and successful sports are run with private money. My sport, the NFL, is almost entirely, bar one of the 32 teams, owned by rich folks who are normally old white guys. The sport is booming and the players are wealthy beyond most expectations. Sport is actually a simple formula: you need eyeballs, TV rights, and a competition that attracts attention. The NRL is your best local example: a record TV deal, massive fan base, plenty of hype, and an expansion plan. Sport isn't the problem. I increasingly think not even the running of the sport is a problem. In NZ the problem is population. If Super Rugby can't make money, nothing locally can. We are too small and the fan is too international. But if there's a model that can help locally it's the people with a cheque book. Sport is business. Arguing it's community-based goodwill is like arguing AI isn't taking your job. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Netball New Zealand is closing in on a decision over the future of its elite domestic competition. RNZ understands a series of key meetings are being held this week as pressure mounts on the national body to make a call on what shape the ANZ Premiership will take next year. Netball NZ has been unable to commit to running a professional league next season as it faces losses of up to $6 million for the current financial year. Sports editor Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Cricket New Zealand's books have now been opened and it's ugly in there. They've lost $7.3 million. Some of it is because they've lost the sponsor for the Super Smash. Some of it may be because they had to pay out their CEO quite a significant amount of money. And some of it is because someone in cricket thought they were going to get some broadcast revenue and were expecting it and were spending like they were going to get it, but they'd already got the money a few financial years ago. So whoopsie, they overspent. And just like in the case of netball, they have a problem figuring out how to put their sport on TV, so they're simply not going to do it. 40 of the Super Smash games will not be broadcast. Only 12 days' worth of games will be. Now, obviously, some of what's happened in the last year in cricket is as a result of incompetence and/or distraction during what was a shambolic time with the CEO departing and a board member quitting on principle over what was going on with the NZ20 privatisation debate. But some of what is going on here is a theme, as I said the other day, across all three of our traditional sports. All three of them are in trouble financially in some way. Cricket hasn't got enough money to broadcast the Super Smash. Netball hasn't got enough money to even be sure that it can hold a professional domestic competition next year. And Super Rugby has just had a report commissioned the other day that found that the Super Rugby clubs are not together profitable. Now here's my question for you. Are we now at a point where each of the governing organisations needs to let go of their sport and let the private guys come in and save the thing? For rugby, I think they may have to give more power to the private owners of the Super Rugby clubs. For netball, give Ali Williams and his wealthy friends the power to run a commercial competition. For cricket, is it the privately owned NZ20 competition? It might be a goer. Privatisation might be a goer. It might actually be the only answer because this is a pattern, isn't it? Our traditional sports are no longer making enough money, are they, to pay the bills. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As administrators grapple with decisions over the future of New Zealand's domestic netball competition, the country's leading players are headed for the exits. This week will provide the clearest picture yet of the scale of the talent drain facing Netball New Zealand, as the contracting window for the Australian league opens today. NZ Herald sports journalist Nathan Limm says there's a handful of players also being approached by UK-based clubs, and not just Silver Ferns either. "Each UK club can only take on two imports, and those imports cannot play in the same area of the court. So while we're hearing a lot about different players getting talked to, it's fair to say that not everyone is going to be able to get a contract."

Netball New Zealand said it's a priority to have a domestic competition in 2027 and beyond. Speaking publicly for the first time since officially becoming CEO, Jennah Wootten said today that the organisation is looking at a number of options but could not guarantee anything would be ready by next season.

Let's talk netball. It's been the number one sport for women and girls in this country for more than a century. The Silver Ferns just won the gold-medal at the Commonwealth Games But we can't seem to get the domestic league firing .. which has led to very real concerns about not having a domestic competition in 2027. RNZ reported this week that a proposed netball league backed by Anna Mowbray and Ali Williams could be up and running as early as next year, after the high-profile couple put forward a new proposal to Netball New Zealand to fast-track the establishment of a privately-owned franchise competition. To discuss the state of netball and where to from here, Jesse is joined by sports journalist and founding editor of LockerRoom, Suzanne McFadden.

With a proposal for a fast-tracked new netball league announced earlier this week, the long-term future of netball in New Zealand is unknown. Jennah Wootten is wrapping up her first week as CEO of Netball New Zealand. She spoke to John Campbell about her priorities in the role and turning success into momentum following a Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Netball New Zealand chief executive Jennah Wootton is conscious of rushing a decision which could define her tenure. She's officially started in the role as of Wednesday as the sport grapples to salvage its domestic competition. The Herald reports Ali Williams and Anna Mowbray have pitched a professional competition to bridge the gap to a fully privatised 2028 league. Wootton told Mike Hosking time is crucial as players weigh up options offshore, but they need to do their due diligence. She says it's a decision that will have impacts for years to come, so they need to make sure it's the right decision, it's responsibly made, and that it works really well for the game's future.

Netball New Zealand is understood to be in talks with a private investor to secure the future of the domestic competition. It comes amid a period of uncertainty for the sport, which is facing losses of up to $6 million. Sports editor Dana Johannsen spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

New Zealand's professional netball ranks could be about to undergo the biggest shake-up in a generation. A private investor described as "a high net-worth family with sporting links" is in talks to take over the ANZ Premiership licence. Any new model would see a franchise league established for the 2028 season, not next year. Former Netball New Zealand chair Don Mackinnon says the move is timely in the current sporting landscape.
