    BALLS REMINDER – required to respond by 30th November

    Thank you very much to the clubs who have responded. Just a gentle little reminder that clubs need to respond by the end of the month regarding recommendation for what colour balls and what divisions they should be used. It is expected that this is to be a minuted and past resolution at club committee level.

    4. Forward Foundation is seeking applications for their 2017 Ambassador Programme.

    For those that don’t know the Forward Foundation is about inspiring the next generation of young female sports leaders in New Zealand.  The Forward Foundation run a series of initiatives across New Zealand that encourage high school aged girls to get involved in sport and leverage the potential in our young leaders to inspire those around them to do the same.

    One of these initiatives is the Ambassador programme which aims to increase participation in girls’ sports through identifying young female game changers and enabling them to inspire those around them to participate in sport.

     What Ambassadors do

    • Attend the annual Forward Foundation Ambassador Conference

    • Occupy an active role with the aim of increasing participation in their sport

    • Initiate self-driven projects for school or community sports

    • Participate in discussion forums with other Ambassadors from across New Zealand

    • Submit regular updates outlining project progress

    • Positively promote the Forward Foundation and the Ambassador programme

    This programme is not about the best player in the team, but for those girls who are willing and passionate about lifting the profile and participation levels of girls’ sport in New Zealand.

    Therefore, if you know of any young ladies, attending secondary school and involved in sport in any way, who you think would do a great job in encouraging girls into sport, then please send them this email.  They can also look on their website for more information. http://www.forwardfoundation.co.nz/initiatives

    The deadline for applications is the 4th of December.
