Netball New Zealand has released a statement giving an update on the coaching and high performance crisis scarring the sport at present.


The governing body of the sport in New Zealand has come under intense criticsm from current players such as Grace Nweke; former players and coaches as well as netball fans around the country for their handling of the saga.


LATEST HEADLINES:


The statement is as follows; "Despite considerable and genuine effort from Netball New Zealand and Dame Noeline Taurua, a resolution regarding the Silver Ferns high performance programme and environment has not yet been reached.


Over the past few weeks NNZ has pursued every pathway with Dame Noeline to bring her back into the Silver Ferns environment at this time. NNZ is disappointed that this has not been possible.


We understand that there will be questions about this process and strong interest in the future leadership of the Silver Ferns, but we can’t make further comment right now.


Yvette McCausland-Durie has agreed to remain as interim coach for the

Constellation Cup and Northern Tour, supported by Liana Leota as assistant coach"


The Constellation Cup starts 17 October in Melbourne before a test in Sydney 22 October followed by games in Hamilton and Christchurch on the 26th and 29th of October.
