Hamish Barton

Hamish Barton comes to the Netball Northern Zone from a cricketing background. He spent the last 4 years working as the National Coach Development Manager for New Zealand Cricket and also worked as assistant coach for the New Zealand Women's cricket team, the White Ferns, the highlight of that role was being part of the team that competed at the 2012 International Cricket Council T20 Women's World Cup in Sri Lanka.

Previously, before starting at New Zealand Cricket, Hamish spent 4 years as National Coach and High Performance Manager for the Argentinian Cricket Association. In that role Hamish was responsible for the U17, U19, Argentina 'A', National Team and the Women's National Team. He was also heavily involved with the establishment of the National Argentine Officials Association.

Hamish is honoured to be in the role as High Performance Manager for the Netball Northern Zone, he knows there is a huge amount of talented players, coaches and officials in the area and is excited about the prospect of working with the great people who are involved with High Performance Netball within the Netball Northern Zone.

Hamish's role entails developing a High Performance Strategy for the Netball Northern Zone and he believes the success of that programme will be judged by the amount of players, coaches and officials we have involved in the Netball NZ High Performance Programme, "our overall objective with the Zone's HP Programme is to develop players, coaches and officials who have the right skills, a strong work ethic, who understand what HP sport is all about, have quality support structures around them and have a balance in their lives that enables them to be successful in a High Performance Netball environment".

Hamish is in charge of managing the U23 programme and establishing clear links with the U23 programme and the Northern Mystics, working with the Netball Centres to assist them in developing their U17, U19 and LFNC programmes, and working with Performance and High Performance Coaches and officials across the Zone to ensure the standard of coaching and officiating is of the highest quality which of course enables the development of high quality athletes and ensures the game is being officiated at the highest standard.
