How it works

This netball rotation sheet maker puts seven of your squad on court for every quarter, one in each bib from Goal Shooter to Goal Keeper, and shares the bench fairly. It takes squads of 7 to 12.

Make the sheet

Replace the sample names with your squad, one per line. Keep four quarters, or set more if you change players mid-quarter after goals. Print the sheet for the bench, or switch to By position to read out who takes which bib at each break.

How the bench is shared

Seven play, the rest sit. Nine players make 8 bench turns over four quarters: eight sit once and one plays all game. With ten there are 12: two sit twice. With eight, four sit once. Press Next game and whoever played most sits first.

Questions and answers

When can I change players?

At the breaks between quarters, when play stops for an injury, illness or blood, and as a tactical change straight after a goal. Changes are unlimited, as long as the players were named for the match.

Does everyone play every position?

The fair rotation moves players between attack, centre court and defence from quarter to quarter, so over a game most players try several bibs. It is a preference, not a promise: check the sheet if a player must play GK.

What about only seven players?

Then nobody sits and the sheet only moves positions each quarter. Fewer than seven is allowed in a match, down to five with one playing Centre, but the sheet always needs at least seven names.

All 8 positions

Attack 3

  • Goal Attack Centre and attacking thirds, goal circle included. Shoots and sets up attacks.
  • Goal Shooter Attacking third and goal circle. One of the two players who may score.
  • Wing Attack Centre and attacking thirds, not the goal circle. Feeds the shooters.

Centre court 1

  • Centre Anywhere but the goal circles. Takes the centre pass.

Defence 3

  • Goal Defence Centre and defensive thirds, goal circle included. Usually marks the Goal Attack.
  • Goal Keeper Defensive third and goal circle. Guards the ring against the Goal Shooter.
  • Wing Defence Centre and defensive thirds, not the goal circle. Usually marks the Wing Attack.

Off the court 1

  • Bench Sits out this quarter.
