Player ratings have been implemented to enable players to know where they can ring and for Team Organisers to see the make-up of their team to ensure it meets the criteria for the league they are playing in. Netball Fun League reserve the right to have the final say on where a team can register for. This is to ensure our leagues remain as fair and competitive as possible.

” Our aim to to ensure as best as possible that our social netball leagues remain as fair and competitive as possible “

TEAM MAKE UP CRITERIA

Teams must NOT have more than 2 players rated HIGHER than the Division they are playing in

If a team has a player or would like to add a player who is rated 2 divisions higher than the division that the team play in, then they would need to seek approval from Netball Fun League via our Contact Us page click here

Correct Player Rating Balance

Team called Fast Flyers wants to play in a Division 3 League and is made up of two players Rated 2 and five players rated 3 or below

Incorrect Player Rating Balance

Team called Hoopstastix wants to play in a Division 3 League and is made up of three players Rated 2 and four players Rated 3 or below

RINGING

Players can ONLY RING in a Division equal to or above their personal Player Rating – NEVER LOWER 

Example:
• Sharon has a Player Rating of 2 – she can ring in Division 2 or higher (not lower)
• Joanne has a Player Rating of 4 – she can ring in Division 4 or higher (not lower)

Please Note:  If one of your teams higher rated players is unable to play for your team one week, you CANNOT use another higher rated player as a ringer – this would be breaking the ringers rule.

Example:
Lucy is registered to a division 3 team and has a rating of 2. Lucy is unable to play this week. You must replace Lucy with a player who is rated 3 or below. You are NOT permitted to replace Lucy with another player rated 2 or higher.

A player who does not have a rating is NOT permitted to play as a ringer. If they are planning to join a team, then they need to contact us by clicking here before their first match, so that we can arrange for them to be rated. We would need at least 24 hours notice for this to happen.

It is the responsibility of ALL PLAYERS to make sure that nails are “MATCH READY” before taking to the court. Your fingernails should ideally be around 1mm long, and not visible over your fingertips.

There are NO NAIL KITS in the Netball Fun League Kit bag – you must supply your own if needed.

Gloves… Can I wear them?

Gloves are allowed BUT you are in charge of sanitising them at break time using your own sanitiser. (Until current Covid guidelines change)

Jewellery… Remove it!

All Jewellery must be removed (except wedding ring which must be taped up – player must provide own tape). Piercings must also be removed for your own safety.

Over the summer months, some of our netball leagues will be played outdoors. As we all know the English weather can be a little unpredictable and long hot summer nights for netball is one thing we cannot guarantee. However a spot of rain will not make us cancel a match! During winter months occasionally bad weather can also present problems for indoor venues/access etc. Should the weather cause problems here is how Netball Fun League communicate any match cancellations:

MATCH CANCELLATION PROCEDURE:

In the run up to match days and on match days themselves we monitor the weather at our venues very carefully via BBC, Accuweather and local radio, and are in contact with the venues themselves PLUS friends in the locality for weather updates. Should the decision be taken to cancel a whole evening of matches:

Team Organisers are sent an SMS Text message informing them of the cancellation (the number used will be 07398 956881) Please can Team Organisers add this number to their address book. The Team Organiser should then communicate with their team. PLUS they will be informed via their Facebook Messenger Group.

• The same message will simultaneously be posted on the main Netball Fun League Facebook page + Ringers Groups and Team Organisers will be tagged (if they are in that group)
• If the whole evenings matches are cancelled then these matches will be rescheduled at the end of the season where possible.

If the Umpires deem a change in the weather or any other situation warrants the cancellation of a match during play on the day then:

• If more than half of the match has been played, then the score at the time of stoppage will be the final match result – full match fees and umpire fees apply.
• If less than half of the match has been played, then that match will be rescheduled at the end of the season – teams do not have to pay umpire fees or match fees.

Netball Fun League will SMS Text Team Organisers and use the Facebook page informing about the cancellation for any remaining matches on the evening, and those matches will be aim to be rescheduled at the end of the season.
