REGISTRATION TO AYLESBURY AND DISTRICT NETBALL LEAGUE (ADNL)

After affiliation to EN, clubs are required to sort their players into teams. This information is to be recorded, along with each player’s signature, on the player registration form.

TWO player registration forms are to be used for EACH TEAM within the club. One is kept in the rota folder at the playing venue. The other is kept by the affiliations secretary for cross checking purposes. Please complete both forms and return them to the ADNL affiliations secretary who will then confirm that all players are affiliated to EN via the EN website.

Please Note: if you are unable to obtain all players' signatures before returning the forms you must ensure players sign the forms prior to their first match.

ALL PLAYER REGISTRATION FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO THE

ADNL AFFILIATIONS SECRETARY BY

WEDNESDAY 7th SEPTEMBER 2011

 IF YOUR FORM HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DUE DATE YOUR TEAM

WILL BE PENALISED AS PER LEAGUE RULES.

HOW TO AFFILIATE EXTRA PLAYERS AFTER THE START OF THE SEASON

Clubs can affiliate a player at any time via the login area on the England Netball website.  Please also notify the ADNL Affiliations Secretary so records can be updated. Confirmation of online affiliation is also sent to the Affiliations Secretary by England Netball.

AFFILIATING A PLAYER ON MATCH NIGHT

A player must be affiliated online before playing for the club. It is not possible to pay on the night, but payment can be made over the telephone to England Netball.

PAYMENT MUST BE SENT DIRECTLY TO ENGLAND NETBALL.

On the night please write the players name, date of birth and address on the venue record sheet and ask them to sign the teams ‘player registration form’ in the rota folder. Please also email the ADNL affiliations secretary as soon as possible. New names are picked up weekly when the umpiring cards are checked. Again, confirmation of online affiliation will be sent to the Affiliations Secretary by England Netball.

If the above is not carried out the penalty clause will be applied (see ADNL rules).

AFFILIATION FEES FOR CLUBS WITH TEAMS IN MORE THAN ONE LEAGUE

Affiliate to EN ONCE, to Southern Region ONCE, and to COUNTY ONCE.

You must provide the following information: first claim team name, league name, county and region.

INDIVIDUALS WHO PLAY FOR MORE THAN ONE CLUB

An individual may register and play for more than one club, but not at the same time in the same league.
