It’s that time again - the rules of netball – your chance to influence them

Is there a netball rule which drives you nuts or which you wish could be changed? This could be your chance to affect the way our great game is played, all around the world

The last Official Netball Rules review was held in 2007, and instead of waiting for the normal eight years IFNA agreed that the next rules review will be in 2011, at an International Netball Federation Congress. In order to change the rules, all member countries must submit any proposed changes by 30th September 2010, which will then all be voted on by the member countries.

From the proposals submitted, the IFNA Rules Advisory Panel will determine if there are any rules, identified in the review, which would benefit from a trial period, and will then determine all the processes of how that trial can be conducted. Once the trial has been completed successfully, the IFNA Rules Advisory Panel will then draw up draft recommendations for consideration by congress.

So if you have a ruling which you feel should be changed to benefit the game, then England Netball would like to hear from you. Any suggestions must be received at Head Office by 16th August 2010 so that they can be considered by the England Netball Rules Board before our submission to the IFNA Committee. Please look at the rules and suggest any changes - however, please remember that you need to provide a reason for your suggestion, alongside the wording for your new proposal.

Please download and complete the review form below with your new rules suggestions, and return it to EN Head Office as soon as possible. Please mark it with ‘Rules Review’ as the title. The forms can either be e-mailed to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or faxed to 01462 442343 or posted FAO Sheelagh Redpath at Head Office.
