Colchester Youth Netball League - Summer League 2025 - Rules and Regulations

 

1.Normal Colchester Winter League and AENA Rules apply except:-

• Games do not need to be confirmed, but teams are asked out of courtesy to be prompt and to ensure they turn up on the dates and times stated.

• If cancelling a game, please ensure you put it on the WhatsApp group as this has been a good way to let teams and the Summer League Secretary know.

• Players to draw positional cards or bibs from a carrier bag with the opponent’s umpire overseeing for playing positions. At quarter and half times, the bibs are returned, and the process repeated with playing positions drawn out again.

 

2.In the event of injuries and substitutions, the following will apply:-

• Substitutes are to pull a position/bib out first, then replace it and the remaining seven players pull as normal. If any injury occurs, the sub moves to the position she pulled out and that position then moves to the injured player's position.

• If no substitutions are available and there is an injury to the C, GA, GS, GD or GK, then the WA may move to that position.

• If there is an injury to the WD or WA and no substitute is available, then that position stays vacant.

• In the event of late arrivals, the WA bib is removed from the bag before the others are pulled out. The late arrival then plays in the WA position.
