Netball Hutt Valley Executive Members

Joanne Paora

Netball Hutt Valley President

I'm sure most of you know who I am, either attended one of my many courses or even heard me on Atiawa Toa FM radio station.

My interest in Netball started back in the late 1960's playing for Graelyn, Valley United, Naenae Old Girls and now Naenae Collegians.  I then progressed to coaching many teams, club, secondary schools, age group teams and still currently coach a club team for Naenae Collegians United.

I retired in September 2015 from my role as Netball Development Officer for Netball Hutt Valley, working with kids from fun ferns age right up to our development players and also working alongside a strong coaching team here at Netball Hutt Valley.

I am still involved with netball as a coach for Naenae Collegians United.

Genny Jarvis

Netball Hutt Valley Treasurer

I am a mother of four and grandmother of four.  I've been involved in netball for what seems like forever.  I coached at primary school level for many years when my children were at primary school and also at college level.

I started playing netball again after my two eldest children were born and played for St Bernard's for three years and when that club disbanded played for Marist HV for a season.

I've been involved in Maidstone Netball Club for over 20 years as a player, coach, manager and committee member.

I've been a member of the Hutt Valley Executive for over 10 years and have served 4 years as Vice-President before becoming President in 2011.

I'm passionate about netball and love to watch and participate at all levels.

Jodie Robertson

Netball Hutt Valley Umpires Representative

I am a mother of 3 grown children and a grandmother to 1 little cutie.  I have been playing involved with netball since primary school and have never had a year where I did not do something with the sport since that beginning. My husband calls himself a netball widow when the season begins J

I started coaching a college team about 23 years ago so as I could give back to the sport.  Since that beginning I have developed my coaching skills to be able to coach college premier teams, club premier teams and now will embark on coaching a representative team for Hutt Valley.  I have enjoyed success with developing teams and players skills over that time and always thrilled when I see players learn things, achieve their goals and have success on the court

I also took up umpiring when the girls started playing the sport when they were in primary school.  I am also part of the Hutt Valley Umpires Association Committee as the secretary.  I am a coach/assessor for umpires to Zone level.  This means that I have the opportunity to help young umpires hone their skills and become awesome umpires. 

The reason I joined the committee is  I would like to do as much as I can to help keep the excitement in netball in the Hutt Valley.  We have some talented players in Hutt Valley and I would like to see more girls follow the netball pathways and represent Hutt Valley at a high performance level.  I look forward to working with the Executive team to provide a great atmosphere at the courts with a lot of opportunity for talent development.
