teachers and club coaches identify talented and
potentially talented netballers.
This is a certificated course and
accredits attendees to nominate athletes to an

netball and how they can help their talented players be
the best they can be.

nominations for Satellite and County Academies will only
be considered from accredited nominators or scouts.
All Teachers and coaches who want
to nominate players for Satellite and County Academies

England Netball clarifies Injury Time Out Rule
Following a recent incident at a junior game where a player suffered a breathing attack and was unable to call time and the game did not stop. I have to issue the following advice which is in consultation from Sheelagh Redpath.
"The rule clearly states that the call for time is from any on court player and does not have to be the actual injured person. Teams (at whatever age and level) must be taught that if one of their players is injured that anyone may call time to the umpire Normally play would not be stopped if the injury was not in the half where play was HOWEVER in incidences such as breathing etc commonsense would apply and the other umpire would call for time
If the Bench calls time the umpire should show some commonsense and if necessary call for time If this was to happen I would hope that any umpire assessor would not penalise the umpire for taking time which has not been directly as the rules have stated
NO umpire will be penalised for using their commonsense."
