GAME MANAGEMENT
Game management is crucial to keeping our game safe and fair.
GAME MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
Cautions have been removed and umpires can now advance or escalate a sanction. Normally an umpire will work through these game management actions in order unless an offence is serious enough to require a higher level of game management to be applied immediately.

PLAYER SAFETY
Player safety is paramount in netball.
We’ve made some changes in the new rules, most of them to ensure the game of netball
is safe & fair. It’s important that player safety is taken seriously by players, coaches and
umpires in dealing with injury incidents.

HEAD, NECK & CONCUSSION
We’ve also made some changes regarding head & neck injuries and suspected concussions.
BLOOD
Players who are bleeding, have an open wound or bloodstained clothing must leave the court and be substituted but we no longer require a player with dried blood on them to be substituted.
