New Players - all players looking for a team will go on the Pool Players list. This list will be published weekly on the Tonbridge Netball League Players FB group. All players will need to be affiliated and linked to Tonbridge Pool Players 'team'.
The teams can contact the players direct to play for them - the pool players are allowed to play for a team up to 3 times in a season and then either join them or play for other teams.
This gives the new player a chance to find a team that suits them. Players can also stay on the Pool Player list indefinitely if they would like to play but can't commit to playing weekly but still can only play for one team up to three times. If you use a pool player, please put their name on the score card with a 'P' next to it.
Please can ALL teams ensure that our Secretary has a contact email address. Please send your email address to tonbridgenetballcommittee@gmail.com
