How many team officials can we have, and who must be among them?

Question

Accepted Answer

World Netball Rules 3.14-3.17: Up to five team officials, including a coach and at least one primary care person. A sixth team official is allowed only if that person is a team doctor: a qualified sports medicine professional who is legally permitted and insured to carry out concussion protocols. A primary care person is qualified to diagnose and treat injury or illness and has no other role, including as a player. They wear identification set by the event organiser, such as an arm band. At lower levels (Rule 21): a competition may allow fewer team officials, who may then do several jobs. Primary care persons still must not be players, and preferably shouldn't hold any other role. Team officials sit on the team bench, are named to the scorers before the match, and fall under the umpires' bench discipline rules throughout.
