Get agile, sharpen your ball skills, and soak up the team spirit with intramural netball.
We play netball in weekly leagues and in one-day tournaments.

Injuries and Incidents
The Sports Centre Supervisors and the Sport and Recreation Officers at the Sports Centre are First Aid Qualified. They will be your first point of contact for any injuries and incidents.
If a member of your team leaves the Sport and Fitness Centre and their injury or illness; which occurred whilst playing netball, deteriorates resulting in attendance at a hospital, urgent care centre or doctors then we require the captain to submit the Intramural Accident Report form – this should be emailed to the Participation and Fitness Manager or handed in at the University Sport and Fitness Centre:
- For minor injuries – reports must be submitted by 09:00 the following day
- For medical emergencies – notify the Participation and Fitness Manager immediately, a report should then be submitted by 09:00 the following day
Calling Emergency Services
If a member of your team has called for an ambulance please inform a member of the Sports Centre Staff on site who will assist you with the incident and ensure the ambulance has a clear passage to the injured player.

- All players must be Sports Centre members. Make sure you have your SmartCard when entering the University Sports Centre each week. You will not be allowed entrance without it.
- All fixtures, league tables and results are available on the Centre’s web site.
- Matches should start at the time specified, and certainly no later than 5 minutes after the designated start time. Where a late start occurs, games should be shortened accordingly and not run over into another booking.
- All games are 25 minutes in duration: 2 x 12 minute halves and 1 minute half-time.
- The University Netball Club will provide umpires for all Intramural fixtures. A £3.00 umpire’s fee is required from both teams prior to the start of the game. If the umpire does not turn up, the match must go ahead with a nominated umpire, as agreed by the two captains.
- The umpire has the authority to sin bin players (up to 5 minutes) for misconduct or continuous infringement of the rules. Any player sent off during the game will automatically serve a two match ban.
- No jewellery may be worn on court.
- Any injuries resulting in bleeding must be dealt with immediately. No bleeding players are allowed on court.
- Four points will be awarded for a win and two points for a draw.
- If a team fails to turn up, the match is awarded as a 15-0 walkover to the opposing team. The team failing to show up will also have 1 point deducted from their league table score.
- If a team fails to turn up to play on three occasions, they will be immediately withdrawn from the league, with no refund given.
- Substitutes are roll on, roll off. Players who have been substituted may return to the game at a later stage.
- Whistles, netballs and bibs are available from the Health and Fitness Reception which will be collected by the Umpires.
- All matches must be played on the date and time stated on the original fixture list. No matches will be rearranged unless in exceptional circumstances. Rearranged fixtures are totally at the discretion of the Participation & Events Manager.
- Each team is allowed a maximum of two players who regularly represent the University in BUCS competitions, in the squad or on the court at any one time.
- Players must have played in a minimum of two league games to be eligible to play in the play-offs.
- Each team will play each other twice. The top four teams from each group will qualify for the play-offs.
- This is a female only league.
- Official England Netball rules of the game are on the England Netball website.
SMS result entry
Team captains will receive a text message requesting the result of the game. This is sent during the game, so it is ready for the captain to reply after the fixture. The text will use the teams Short SMS Code instead of the full team name and explain exactly what captains need to text. The message will request the score as follows: Reply home and away scores in format: H-A eg 18-15
It is important you check the text message so you get the home and away team score in the correct order.
The text service is completely free. In the short time it takes to text 6-9 characters, the league table will be updated straight after games.
Fixture cancellation and no show
Try to field a team for all games. It is disappointing for the opposition team who only play once a week to have games cancelled.
Fixtures cannot be cancelled and rescheduled as the programme is too tight. If you cannot field a team, the result will be recorded as a 15-0 victory to the opposition team. If you cannot make a fixture, inform the opposition captain and the Participation and Events Manager as soon as possible. It is unfair and very disappointing when a team and umpire makes the effort to turn up for a fixture and then the opposition team fails to show. Ensure you get confirmation (text, email, verbal) from the opposition captain before you assume that they have got the message and the game is off.
If you cancel a fixture, you must still pay a £3 umpires fee the following week as the umpire still has to wait for the next game so they are entitled to half their match fee.
If you don’t cancel a fixture and your team just doesn’t show up (don’t do this), you must still pay the full £6 umpires fee the following week as the umpire still has to wait for the next game/umpire a friendly so they are entitle to their full fee.
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.
