Up to how many team officials are allowed in netball?

In netball, the regulations permit a maximum of five team officials to be present with the team. These officials can include roles such as the head coach, assistant coaches, manager, and physiotherapist. Having five officials allows for a structured support system that can enhance team performance by providing strategic input, injury management, and other forms of support during matches. This ensures that teams have adequate leadership and guidance, which is crucial for effective competition. The number is set not only to maintain the integrity of the game but also to ensure that each team has sufficient resources and support without overwhelming the match officials or creating confusion during play.
