Rules Review

Is there a netball rule which drives you nuts or which you wish could be changed? This could be your chance to affect the way our great game is played, all around the world!

The last Official Netball Rules review was held in 2007, and instead of waiting for the normal eight years IFNA agreed that the next rules review will be in 2011, at an International Netball Federation Congress. In order to change the rules, all member countries must submit any proposed changes by 30th September 2010, which will then all be voted on by the member countries.

From the proposals submitted, the IFNA Rules Advisory Panel will determine if there are any rules, identified in the review, which would benefit from a trial period, and will then determine all the processes of how that trial can be conducted. Once the trial has been completed successfully, the IFNA Rules Advisory Panel will then draw up draft recommendations for consideration by congress.
