How to use it

  1. Add at least seven players in the order you want them rotated.
  2. Optionally choose one player and one position to keep them in that position for all four quarters.
  3. Make the rotation, check each quarter and player summary, then save, share, print or download CSV.

How the rotation works

  • The rotation follows the project example: seven players are assigned the seven listed positions, then the next seven-player group is selected for each quarter.
  • With nine players and no lock, the first player plays four quarters; the other eight each play three. Two players sit out each quarter.
  • A position lock keeps its player on court in the selected position. The other six positions rotate through the remaining players.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate 9 players over 4 quarters?

The example gives Player 1 all four quarters and rotates the other eight players through the two bench places. Check the quarter list before using the plan.

Should juniors play every position?

That depends on your team and local rules. The tool does not decide which positions a player should play.

Can I keep one player in one position?

Yes. Choose both a player and a position in Optional position lock. The selected player stays there each quarter.

What are the seven netball positions?

Goal Shooter (GS), Goal Attack (GA), Wing Attack (WA), Centre (C), Wing Defence (WD), Goal Defence (GD) and Goal Keeper (GK).
