High Performance Planning

What prompted the review and subsequent changes? • As an organisation we had never developed a ”comprehensive” high performance plan • We had clear performance targets but no road map to guide us to performance • Our thinking has evolved due to the re-structure with West Coast Fever to balance professional athletes with development athletes • Very clear in our thinking that the “plan” needed to be inclusive of Players, Coaches and Officials (umpires and bench officials).

What was the process undertaken? • The NWA Board set in 2016 the strategic priority to deliver a High Performance plan by 2017 which defined the scope of the project • Engaged an External Consultant; Trish Heberle to lead the consultation through • Desktop research • 1: 1 interviews • Working groups • At the conclusion of the consultation phase we where presented with key considerations and themes to underpin the High Performance Plan • Developed a draft plan which has evolved and been tested and challenged whilst gathering further feedback before presenting to NWA Board.

What have been the outcomes? • Clear measures of success across our system and partners • Development of a High Performance Working Group that connected both sides of our business to keep focused and balanced around performance • West Coast Fever evolved the WAIS Netball Program (WCF Academy) to shift the leadership of the program back to the sport whilst retaining our funding and servicing from WAIS and Netball Australia. • As a result of a review and restructure of our competitions (including WANL) has commenced for implementation in 2019 to enhance our High Performance Pathway • Depth chart management of talent from WCF to Emerging Athletes • Depth chart development for coaches, umpires and officials.
