These are the latest match protocols for umpires from England
Netball. I urge all umpires to download and read them.
Protocols Protocols
Wocestershire Netball Association will be holding their Annual General Meeting
at Pitmaston School, Malvern Road on Tuesday, May 13th at 7.30 p.m. Please
make every effort to attend as you hold the future of Worcestershire netball
in your hands. When you play in whatever league you participate in do you ever
stop to think about the people who make it possible for you to play. Without
those volunteers working hard behind the scenes you would not get to play.
Please take five minutes to think about how you might help. I am sure there
are many of you out there who have plenty to offer. If you feel you have something
to offer then please fill in the nomination form. You can download the information
that has been sent to team secretaries below:

Although the weather was very cold it was pleasing to see such a good turnout for the tournament which was won by Saracens Cubs in a very good final against Evesham Reds. It was nice to see Julia Vernalls and her daughter Jenny there to present the trophies. I hope that next years tournament can be even bigger and better. Many thanks to Donna Barrett-Lloyd for organising the day and coping with all the stress.

There is going to be an umpires forum on Thursday, February 7th at University College Worcester at 7pm. All umpires must attend and we would also recommend that players also attend to give them a better understanding of the rules.
If the answer to the above is YES then please be aware that the letter enclosed with it contains your Affiliation Card. The card needs to be peeled from it. I know last year many of you threw the letter away along with your card.
Have any of you spotted an action picture of Paul Brownhill (former committee member) umpiring in the latest edition of Netball Magazine. Paul will be holding an autograph session when he finds a venue large enough. Only kidding Paul!!
There appears to be some confusion with regard to score sheets and player photographs for the winter season:
PLEASE NOTE:
Names should be printed on the score sheet. NO SIGNATURES please.
Player photographs are still to be used.
The Sports partnership for Herefordshire & Worcestershire have launched a new website wih a netball section. Information can be found about local clubs, courses and satellite academies. Herfordshire & Worcestershire Sports Partnership - Netball
Members will be mailed notification of site updates. Rest assured that your e-mail address will not be given to any third party.
Please note: if for any reason you need to cancel game at the above venues, can you please text 07981 216521 with your team name and the fact that you have cancelled. This will ensure that we charge for the courts correctly.
All teams should be affiliated with the County Affiliation Secretary before commencing any league games, this will also mean any second claim players playing for your team, should be first claim with another team. Please also note that all umpires need to be affiliated and it is up to the team to check his/her details.
There have been a number of instances lately where the ball has been knocked off court and a player has entered an adjacent court whilst a game was taking place to retrieve the ball. You must not at any time run on to a court in this manner. You MUST wait until either the ball is returned to you or for the umpires officiating that game to halt play. It is putting not only yourself but the players on the other court in danger of serious uury.
We are still waiting for a number of teams to send in contact mobile telephone numbers for themselves and umpires. This is to enable us to inform teams of postponements more efficiently.
Can I just flag the importance of sending in results sheets for ALL matches. If your opponents concede a game for whatever reason, it is your responsibility to send a results sheet CLAIMING the five points within three days of the date the game should have taken place. The sheet must contain the reason for the game not taking place. Failure to do so will mean the game being declared void and NO points will be awarded.
All umpires must be affiliated before they can officiate in any game. Please make sure that your umpire is affiliated and should you bring in a replacement at any time, it is your responsibility to ascertain whether they are affiliated. Failure to do so may result in the game being awarded to your opponents.
There has seems to be a lack of understanding about injuries occurring during winter games. Please take note of below which has always been on this website on the winter fixtures pages:
Should a player suffer an injury during a game then the game stops until that player has left the court to get attended to. Should the injury be that serious that a player should not be moved and this takes several minutes or longer, then the game will be abandoned and re-scheduled at a later date. The time lost is not to be added, as all games should finish at the same time.
It has been noticed particularly amongst the younger players i.e. 16's and under that fashionable trainers are being worn rather than cross trainers. It is important that players wear the right type of trainer so that their ankles and the balls of their feet receive the right support. Please also note that it is absolute lunacy to contemplate playing without laces being tied properly. Tucking laces in rather than tying them will offer no support and could lead to a player suffering broken bones. PLEASE BE SENSIBLE.
All umpires should be aware that they should wear sensible clothing. Polo Shirt, Shorts or skirt and sensible trainers NOT floral print dresses and sandals as was observed at Christopher Whitehead's last week.
Can I please remind all teams that it is the injured player who must call for TIME. It is not the responsibility of the umpire.
PLEASE NOTE:
It is the umpires responsibility before each game that they check the following:
Once the match has started umpires must not:
