Key Notes for Finals

➡️ No player can play down a division or across teams in the same division;
➡️ Teams can only have two officials in the coaching box (e.g. 2x coaches or a coach & a manager) + players. Parents and spectators are not to approach the coaches box, unless requested (e.g. their player has come off injured etc.);
➡️ Each team must supply a scorer and time keeper; &
➡️ Scorers & time keepers must attend a meeting at control half an hour before the round starts.

Sideline Behaviour

We expect that everyone present at PRNA for finals is on their best behaviour. The club and PRNA do not tolerate any abuse towards players, umpires, coaches, spectators or other officials. You will be asked to leave, if your behaviour breaches the Netball QLD Code of Conduct

Please cheer as loud & as much as you want, but make sure your words are positive and encouraging!

Game Time for Players & On Court Behaviour

There is no requirement for equal court time in finals. The team coach decides who goes on court, when and how much. This decision may be based on performance, behaviour, combinations that do/ do not work, shooting accuracy on the day etc.

These games can be stressful for our players. We ask that coaches are using encouraging words and that our players do the same. If you notice any of your players acting in a way that is not aligned with the clubs values, please address it appropriately.

If you have any questions, please post in the Team App ‘Coaches & Managers’ chat. If you are not a coach or manager, please post a message in your team chat.

Thank you,
SGH Committee
