from the previous year. The grade will play Open Day (optional) and then a round
robin followed by semis and finals.
Premier One games will be played at 6.00pm or 7.45pm, the doors will be open by
5.00pm and this season there will be no door charge fee. Games will consist of 4 x 15-

Our Premier Two competition is played on a Saturday and is a combined Club and
Secondary school grade. Premier Two will operate on the same format as Premier
One with a round robin followed by semis and finals. The winner and runner up of
Premier Two will earn the right to contest a promotion / relegation match against the

Umpires
- Ngā Kaiwawao
All teams except Premier One and Premier Two are required to provide umpires.
Schools and clubs are encouraged to work together and help each other out to cover
games.
All umpires regardless of experience, qualification or grade, are encouraged to wear
a white top and either a black or white skirt / shorts. If umpiring, in the rain, a white
rain jacket is best as dark colours make it difficult to quickly recognise umpires.
Wearing white, has nothing to do with umpire qualification. We are team white and
it is our uniform.
We have a number of senior umpire coach volunteers out and about on Saturdays
supporting our developing umpires and encouraging all umpires to push themselves
to be the best that they can be.

Player Registrations
Player registrations are recorded from the first Grading Day. A player can play in a
higher graded team within their club or school twice. On the third occasion, they
must stay up in that higher graded team.
Players cannot play in a team graded at the same or lower level than what they are
registered in. This will result in a loss of points for the team.
Example of Same Grade Situation: Club Sample have two teams in Senior 1st – their
A and B team. Players from the B team cannot fill in for the A team and vice versa
regardless of where they are seeded.
A player must have played 3 games for their club/school to be eligible to play a semi-
final or final.
Players taking the court and all substitutes MUST be written on the scorecard before
the start of the game with first and last names – no nicknames, no initials. See
example on next page.

In the instance of players “playing up”, if their name is on the score card they are
deemed to have taken the court. If a player does not take the court, a line must be
drawn through their name.
Playing Across Centres / Zones
Netball NZ ruling identifies that a player can play for more than one team within a
zone (ie; can play in Manawatu and Whanganui). A player cannot play for more than
one team within our Centre (with the exception of student exemptions to play for a
school team on Saturday and a Club Premier team on Monday) or in more than one
Zone (ie; Central and Mainland).
Page | 11Un-financial Players
Schools and clubs are able to register un-financial players from previous seasons with
Netball Whanganui. These players will not be eligible to play for anyone else unless
they pay the monies owing to the club or school. These players will also not be eligible
to trial for representative teams.
Competition Points
Win – 4 points Loss within 3 – 1 point (Saturday netball)
Draw – 2 points Loss within 5 – 1 point (Monday night Premier One netball)
Semi-finals and finals of all grades require an outright winner. If the game is a draw
at full time a 2 goal advantage must be attained except for the Grand Final of the
Premier One competition where teams will be advised of the process.
Scorers
Each team is required to provide a scorer. Scorers are required to stand at the half
way point of the court and be accessible to umpires. The scorecard result is the
official result, therefore it is highly recommended that each team have a scorer
present at all times.
Premier Teams need to provide a Scorer for their games on Monday nights. Netball
Whanganui will provide training for those that need it.
Rostered Team Duty
Each week teams are rostered on duty and are required to pick up rubbish at the end
of the day, from the top car park, top courts, bottom courts and bottom car park.
Once rubbish is collected, wheelie bins need to be emptied into the orange skip in
the bottom car park. The empty wheelie bins are then lined up with the lids open on
the left hand side wall of the main toilets for our cleaners to wash out and replenish
the bags. Goal post covers do not need to be brought in. Failure to complete your
rostered team duty will result in the team losing 2 game points or a fine of $50.
Game Deferrals & Requests
There is no option to request game deferrals. In the event of natural disasters
preventing travelling teams from being able to physically get through to games, an
exception will be granted. Due to the mixing of club and secondary school team
games this year, Netball Whanganui will make every attempt to avoid clashes that
have been noted in the online Sporty registrations but no guarantees can be given.
Please refer to the draws once they are released and plan accordingly.
Seeking Clarification of Rules & Regulations
Netball Whanganui engages the services of volunteers to run all our competitions.
We do not employ staff on weekends to run Saturday netball or Monday nights to
Page | 12run Premier One netball. Schools and clubs are asked to seek clarification on rulings
/ regulations and bylaws Monday to Friday. Email is the best option if staff are not
available to take your call in person. That way, you also have a written record of your
enquiry and the advice given.
If there any player registration breaches (ie; cards not completed, unregistered
players, casual players not financial or unregistered etc) teams will not be advised or
chased after on the day. The Duty Officer will verify and record any issues and these
will be followed up by staff on Monday mornings (or Tuesday mornings for Premier
One) and the appropriate penalties applied.
Incidents & Complaints
Please refer to the complaints procedures in the Netball Whanganui Regulations.
Uniforms
Each school and club will register the colours and style of uniform (skirt and top,
shorts and top or dress) to be worn by each registered team. A school or club may
apply for a new/altered uniform by submitting a written request to the Netball
Whanganui office prior to registration. A photo / picture of the new uniform must be
submitted so that an assessment can be made to ensure it does not conflict with
another school / club’s current approved uniform.
All team players shall take the court wearing the registered club/school. Any player
not in correct uniform (without approval for dispensation) will not be permitted to
take the court.
Headwear or head coverings as well as tracksuit pants, compression tights or long
pants are not to be worn unless this dispensation has been granted. Any under
garment must not be visible outside the playing uniform when the player is standing.
No item of jewellery except a wedding ring and/or a medical bracelet shall be worn.
If either or both are worn, each item shall be fully concealed by strapping tape. Please
refer to Netball NZ guidelines.
If a player cannot comply with any of these regulations because of cultural, religious,
medical or other valid reasons they must request a dispensation. This request must
be in written form (either email or handwritten not verbal) to the Netball Whanganui
office.
Page | 13PLEASE NOTE: Polypropylene tops are allowed to be worn on very cold/wet days but
must be consistent with the school / club colours and must all be the same colour (ie
one player can’t wear black, another white and another blue). They should be worn
under the team uniform.
Cancellations
Netball will only be cancelled if conditions are such that it causes a danger to players.
Netball is a winter sport, therefore we will from time to time need to endure
unpleasant conditions. It is extremely unlikely that Intermediate, Secondary and Club
netball will be cancelled. The likelihood of Future Ferns being cancelled due to poor
weather is more likely. Cancellations will be posted on our Netball Whanganui
Facebook page and website. Times will vary depending on the programme /
competition. For after school games the call will generally be made by 1pm.
Member Expectations
Member Schools and Clubs are expected to ensure that all volunteers involved in the
administration and coordination of teams are fully conversant with the rules and
regulations required to be followed and that these volunteers are given every
opportunity to attend development and upskilling programmes / courses offered by
Netball Whanganui.
Member Schools and Clubs are also expected to ensure attendance / representation
at annual meetings including Forums, Annual General Meetings and Special General
Meetings. Your participation is essential to the running of our sport.
