1 Strategic Direction & Operations Summary

2 Background Wellington Basketball Association (WBA) is the affiliated body to Basketball NZ (BBNZ) covering Wellington City Council boundaries. It is one of four associations (with Porirua, Hutt Valley and Kapiti) that make the CapitaI zone. Wellington Basketball Association recognises that basketball is one of the most popular games as determined by young people world-wide. The potential for participation growth at national, regional and local levels is recognised by Sport NZ. Basketball has the challenge to grow its leadership, management and administration at all levels as identified by BBNZ s All of Basketball strategy plan. Locally, WBA believes that our game is more than just a game. It s popularity across cultures, socio-economic status, genders and differently-abled communities places it in unique position to influence broader community outcomes. However, while the ASB Centre in Kilbirnie provides more than triple the court space for basketball than previously, turnover of governance and management personnel have limited the WBA s ability to fully gain traction to maintain and grow, affordable and appropriate services for the Wellington community. Positive, cohesive leadership and management and creative and collaborative approaches with a range of stakeholders in our community is seen as the key to realising the potential. This strategic plan sets out to: consolidate our core services at ASB Kilbirnie competitions, age-group representative programme and children s holiday programmes prepare for satellite growth of these services Implement participation pathways with emphasis on referee/official, coach development pathways strengthen our connections and support of and with our key stakeholders better value, support and acknowledge volunteers 2

4 Opportunity The Wellington basketball landscape includes a number of entities capable of supporting the delivery of services to contribute to the WBA strategic goals. A collaborative approach to service provision will require WBA to move from a delivery role to a stronger facilitation role. Growing our People capability and demanding improved performance in all areas and levels is the overarching intent. We have committed to establish WBA as a well-resourced, sustainable and cohesive lead association that is able to deliver inclusive, equitable services across the development pathway for and with players, coaches, officials, clubs and administrators. To achieve this we will focus on five areas: - Grow participation pathways in basketball with an emphasis on coaching and refereeing. - Grow quality, relevant competitions and in-house management capacity - Consistent sustainable representative programme system - Strong positive relationships with our key stakeholder organizations - Improve governance, management and financial performance Strategic Goals and 2014 operations summary Goal 1: Grow participation Pathways emphasizing coaches and referees Activity Success Measures Outcome Establish regular annual Training calendar complete referee training Updated referees database and opportunities gradings Align grading with appropriate pay scales for all WBA leagues Regular resourced mentoring grading programme is implemented in WBA leagues Standardised fair and reasonable More and improved quality referees High quality referee/officials development programme leads to 4
