Problems – come to office during game. • Rotations may seem confusing for the first few weeks but they are a key aspect of a netball player’s development. It allows players to develop knowledge and skills in all playing positions before specialising in one position or area of the court. • It is necessary to allow for the changing and variable growth patterns of young players. • It is the responsibility of the coach to ensure that all players are given the opportunity to play and develop in all 7 positions equally and that they play at least half a game each week.
Future Ferns • Correct rotation will be emailed to schools and be available on website. No excuses for not rotating correctly. Will be available for 8 players, 9 players, 10 players. • First team named in draw goes clockwise with rotation. • Coaches need to be prepared to show their rotation ‘paperwork’ if asked by a Junior Committee or Executive member if there are issues.

Parent/Supporters Code of Behaviour • Encourage children to play to the rules and respect umpires’ decisions. • Recognise and value the importance of coaches and other volunteers, who give their time and resources to provide netball, they deserve your support. • Children learn by taking risks and making mistakes, encourage and support this. • Support the removal of verbal and physical abuse from the game. • If you disagree with an official, raise the issue via appropriate channels rather than question the official’s judgements and honesty in public. • Applaud good play by players on both teams. • Remember children are involved in netball for their enjoyment not yours. • Teach children that effort is as important as victory, so that the result of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.
