After a very successful referee and staff meeting last night, we have all decided on the final rules to be used for all games played here at Metro. These are now all uploaded on the system and will go along with this post.
I would like to point out some of the significant changes highlighted last night, which have been incorporated into these rules. Note, these rules are subject to change if they do not provide the desired result intended.

All rules have been expanded on in the rules section of the website.

Netball
- Through a half has changed. If you gather a rebound in the defensive circle you can now pass straight to the other half. The ball may not go from circle to circle in one pass, and it may not go from one half to the back net of the other half in one pass. At the restarts, you must pass into your defensive half, then you may pass the ball into your attacking circle directly
- Games will be starting on time, there will be points penalized for late teams
- Poor behaviour will not be tolerated
- Accidental foot contact is OK, only deliberate foot contact will be penalized
- A jump shot is allowed, if and only if, there is no forward momentum, and the jump is directly vertica
- There are to be no high kicks that put anyone in danger, this is the sole judgement of the referee
- There will be no backing into a defender while in possession of the ball
- New net rules apply, this will be consistent with netball in that there is to be no weight applied to the nets at any time. A light brush of the clothing is OK in passing.
