League Commitment / Fielding A Team
Registering a team into an Intramural League involves committing to the whole season! Can all team captains please stress to their players that they must commit to their weekly league games. Drop-outs are very frustrating and unfair for all involved. Please ensure you field a team every week - NO SHOWS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE!
CONCEDING MATCHES
If a team cannot find enough players for a particular match and have to concede they must do the following:
- Ring the opposition captain ASAP and inform them – All captains contacts details can be found on the Intramural netball website HERE
- Email tom.brearley@newcastle.ac.uk informing of the cancellation and confirming that the opposition team are aware.
- The team conceding will be changed their umpire match fee (£5)
- The team conceding will lose the game 30-0
NO SHOWS
If a team cannot find enough players and just doesn’t show up without informing the opposition captain (please don’t do this) the following applies:
- The team conceding will still be changed the FULL umpire match fee (£10)
- The team conceding will lose the game 30-0
This should NEVER happen and is totally UNACCEPTABLE. Please have the courtesy to ring the opposition so they don’t make a wasted trip to the Sports & Fitness Centre.
League Spirit/Spectators
Ensure all players and spectators play the league in the correct spirit. Teams are made up of mixed ability players so it’s important that they also enjoy the league experience. If you bring spectators along to watch your game, ensure they conduct themselves in the correct manner and show respect and courtesy to all players and umpires on the court.
