Our Twilight, College and Intermediate Netball Comps are organised with an emphasis on providing an opportunity for all players to enjoy netball in the off-season. The Netball Wellington Centre is a keen advocate of fair play and enjoyment through participation and would appreciate if teams could please remember to adopt fair play practices in their games.
Disrespect to umpires, team mates and/or team opposition will also not be tolerated in any of our competitions. Umpires are elegible to issue cautions and warnings to players not applying our fair-play principles to their game play. Teams who show bad sportsmanship at their game ruin the fun for others and run the risk of being excluded from future competitions.
Three cheers for the other team after the game, congratulating your partner on a well-played game and shaking hands nicely with your opposition are great practices to get into the habit of for future sport involvement.
If unsure what we mean by “Fair Play”, Netball Wellington Centre applies the below principles to all its competitions:
Fair play in netball means:
- always playing fair and within the rules;
- always respecting your opponents and officials;
- always giving it heaps, but keeping your cool;
- always respecting and supporting your team-mates, coaches/managers.
We thank those teams that have displayed some great fair play practices to date and encourage others to join in and do likewise for a better game experience!
