Guidelines
Rules
of Participation
1. All teams MUST
rotate positions each week so that over seven weeks each player will
experience playing in each of the seven netball positions.
Templates for working out rotations are available here. At
half time only substitutions can be made. No changes of position are allowed
2. Each team is to supply an umpire. Two umpires control the game in the Netball
NZ format, with some small variance based on age group and ability. Please refer to the back of the scorecard for our guidelines
which are also published on our Umpires page.
3. Players are NOT allowed on court wearing
earrings (including keepers), watches or other jewellery. Taping of ears or
bangles is also not allowed.
4. We expect supporters on the sideline to leave
the coaching of the teams to the coaches and ask that they give only positive
support to all the players and umpires.
5.
Games will not be cancelled due to weather unless an Extreme Weather
warning has been issued by the Met Service. A notice will be posted on this
website if games are cancelled. See the FAQ for
further detail.

Players cannot play down a grade or a year level
7.
A maximum of two boys may play per team. They must play in different thirds of
the court

Winter
League Grading
The
first three weeks of the league will be grading games. To help us, please grade your
school teams so we can ensure that they are placed at the most appropriate
level. We also ask that if you think
your team should be playing in the top grade of their age group to mark this on
the registration from. This does not
mean they will automatically play in this grade. After grading teams will be put into a section and a draw will be
issued for the remainder of the season. Where possible we will not play semi-final, final games but this
will be dependent on the number of teams in each section. Note there is no
grading for Year 1 teams.
Spring
League Grading
The
Spring League is non-competitive. Depending on the number of
registrations teams will be informally grouped to match skills and experience
Draws and Notices
All
draws and related information will be posted on this website.
We do our best to get the
draws out as quickly as possible each week.
Please be patient with us!
When necessary teams will
be contacted by email or telephone using the information provided on the
registration form.
