INCIDENTS AND INJURIES

All major incidents and injuries occurring within MDNA boundaries, or during events in which Beetles Netball Club is involved, must be reported to the management committee.

 

During the season, no extra time is played for an injury time incurred in a normal fixture match. In the event of an injury/illness time during semi-finals and finals, up to 30 seconds extra time per injury is allowed. This can be lengthened at the discretion of the umpire dependant upon the nature of the incident. Injury time is added to the match length and is played at the end of the last quarter during semi-finals and finals.

 

Team managers are provided with a first aid kit to make available courtside. A first aid provider is on site at the MDNA administration building for all larger injuries incurred during the fixture day.

 

During club training times if a player is injured there may be first aid qualified club members present. Note, these club members are not legally required to conduct first aid if they do not feel comfortable doing so. If any Beetles player sustains a minor injury at training, they will stop training and their parents/guardians will be contacted. If any Beetles player sustains a major/serious injury and requires further medical attention their parents/guardians will be contacted as well as the relevant medical professionals (ambulance) if necessary.
