Let's all play our Part
Netball Fun League strives to keep our leagues, fun, fair & competitive
Player ratings have been implemented so that:
A) Team Organisers ensure their team meets the “TEAM MAKE UP CRITERIA” for the league they are playing in
B) Players know where they can “RING”
Both of these are explained below :)
A) Team Make-Up Criteria
To try and keep any league/division as fun, fair and competitive as possible a team MUST NOT have more than 2 Players whose personal Player Ratings are higher than the Division the team are playing in
Correct Team Balance
Fast Flyers wants to play in a Division 3 League and are made up of two players Rated 2 and five players rated 3 or below
Incorrect Team Balance
Hoopstastix wants to play in a Division 3 League and are made up of three players Rated 2 and four players Rated 3 or below
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, contact us below
B) Ringers Rule
A "Ringer" is a Player who helps out a team (other than their own they are registered to and playing with). A Player can only Ring in a division equal to, or above, their Personal Player Rating
How many Ringers can a Team have for a Match?
A Team can field a maximum of 5 Ringers for any match – any more than that and they automatically lose the match 15-0. Read about this and more in our Terms & Conditions click this link: https://tinyurl.com/3e53pyxy

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when a new player joins my team?
If the player is already in the Netball Fun League system (i.e. created their personal profile) then their Player Rating will already be in place (if they were rated prior to March 2020) and will automatically transfer. The Team Organiser would need to make sure that this new player would fit with the TEAM MAKE UP CRITERIA for their division.
If the player is NEW to Netball Fun League (they must first create their personal profile by clicking here) then, once completed The Team Organiser will need to contact Netball Fun League via the Contact Us page (click here) to arrange a trial match to ascertain their rating and suitability for your team/division.
How are the Player Ratings Worked Out?
A players’ ability is judged upon different characteristics that span across all positions (Delivery of passes, spacial awareness, ability to work with others) as well as positional specific attributes such as shooting accuracy, defence of a shot. This takes into account any team member that plays a number of positions.
Can a Player Rating Change?
Yes of course it can. Over time players inevitably improve and we will constantly try to keep on top of ratings and adjust in accordance with progress. Likewise, should a player for any reason no longer be of a higher standard, we can adjust.
Who can see a Player Rating?
Your individual player rating is visible to you when you log in to your Netball Fun League account via our website. In addition to this your Team Organiser can view your rating. The ratings are not meant to be a closely guarded secret. They are there to help you source the correct ringers for your team in matches where needed. No excuses.
