What jewellery, nail, hair and kit rules do I check?

Question

Accepted Answer

World Netball Rule 3.12: players may not wear anything that could endanger themselves or others: No body piercings, including earrings. No adornment that could endanger player safety, and no communication devices. Any other adornment must be securely covered with tape or padding. The same goes for medical devices. Player monitoring devices must be secured inside the playing uniform. Fingernails short and smooth. Hair tied back (for example ponytail, plait or braids) and free of adornment. England Netball's domestic guidance adds: Can't be removed: dermal piercings, and flat religious rings or bracelets kept on for religious or cultural reasons, must be padded or taped. Ear tunnels and stretchers: these shouldn't be removed. Replace them with a flat silicone spacer, taped in place. Beading: hair beading that can't be removed can be covered with a scarf or bonnet. Head coverings: a hat, scarf or bonnet is allowed if it's soft, has no embellishments and has loose edges secured. Caps and visors are not allowed. Gloves: not normally worn. They are allowed with a medical certificate, or in extreme weather (especially outdoors and in school and junior netball), if plain, soft, seam-free and without grip material. Sunglasses: only for genuine medical reasons, with a medical certificate. Glucose monitors: must be covered. An insulin pump must be secured under the uniform. Uniform: apply the uniform rules sensibly and inclusively at grassroots level. Tracksuits and clothing in club colours shouldn't bar a player.
