Jersey Netball Association (JNA) are once again hosting The Jersey Open Netball Tournament welcoming all club teams of all abilities!

Following a formal ballot of the IFNA Full Members a resolution was passed to change the Rules of Netball. In summary, the changes now allow coaching from the side line during stoppages (including injuries).

You should update your rule book with the new rules as soon as possible. You can download a description of the changes, or read them below.
