State Age Attendance

Court Time Allocation

Each player will receive a minimum of 50% playing time during representative carnivals, including day carnivals and the State Age Championship. For instance, if a team participates in 6 games during a carnival, each player must play at least 6 halves on that day.

During the State Age Championship, where teams may play up to 20 games over four days, each player must accumulate a minimum of 20 halves of play throughout the event, with no requirement for even distribution across each day.

This allocation is contingent upon the behaviour of players both on and off the court.

Any player that sustains an injury either at training, games, other netball games or outside of netball, that prevents them from participating at training or games is required to notify INA and their coach. The injured player is required to provide a medical clearance confirming they’re fit to return to training and playing.
