Netball - Poitarawhiti
Playing times on Saturday are only an indication and will depend on the number of team registrations and our ability to fit all teams on 19 courts in one-time slot.
Cancellations
Please note that if we will only cancel due to severe weather conditions that pose a Health & Safety risk. All cancellations will be posted on the website, Facebook and emailed to co-ordinators. Please note there are NO BACK UP DATES. If games are cancelled, all teams receive 0 points and games will not be replayed. This may affect Year 6 teams going into semi-finals.
Cancellations times:
- Saturday 9am Future Ferns Years 1-4
- Saturday 11am Future Ferns Years 5&6
Defaults
Five (5) players constitute the minimum number for a playing team. Defaults are of concern and SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. It is extremely frustrating and inconvenient for both the centre and non-offending teams. Teams need to be more committed and must take every effort to field a team week in and week out for the duration of the competition. Regulation changes have been made to make this easier for teams to abide by. Any defaults that are not reported at least 24hours prior to the start of game day will be fined $30. This will be invoiced to the school.
Uniform and Dress Code
The playing uniform of a school must be approved and registered. A school team may not change their uniform without the approval of TNC.
Correct Netball Uniform is to be worn by all teams at all times during play.
Players are not permitted to wear coloured stockings, rugby socks, skivvies or bike pants that hang below the uniform. Players need to set an example and take pride in the uniform they wear and the club/team they represent.
Players will be allowed to wear a black long sleeve thermal top under their uniform.
Dispensation may be approved for any medical issues. Approval must be sought from TNC management.
Jewellery, Fingernails and Hair
As per rule 5.1.1 (iv) of the Rules of Netball:
Players may not wear anything that could endanger themselves or other players, specifically:
a) No adornment or jewellery may be worn other than a wedding ring which must be covered with tape
b) A medical alert bracelet may be worn provided it is covered with tape
c) Fingernails must be short and smooth
d) Hair must be suitably tied back
Changing Goal Ends
Year 5 and 6 teams change goal ends after half time.
Rotation is Compulsory
It is the responsibility of the coach to ensure all players are rotated. Rotations are made at the end of each quarter of play. All players are on the court for at least half a game and must be given the opportunity to play and develop in all six/seven positions. Please refer to Future fern information on our website

To avoid any confusion Netball New Zealand recommends a size 4 netball for Year 5 & 6, but a size 5 netball is also acceptable
