If you don't find an answer to your question, ask us hi@ftwc.uk
What does FTWC stand for?
In it's infancy the brand stands for For The Win Collaborative. Where everyone who contributes, participates or is involved with FTWC is ultimately creating a better future for all through sport. Every time you purchase our products or services, we pay it forward by funding opportunities for the wider community to benefit.
Why are you not accepting group/ team registrations?
As a new start-up, FTWC does not have the infrastructure to manage and organise group/ team registrations yet. This feature will be coming soon!!
What if I have COVID-19?
We ask that you remain at home to recover until you no longer test positive for COVID-19 or 5 days has passed since you tested positive.
I don't know the rules?
No problem! The umpires will guide you through the rules at interval of play. Feel free to check out our rules page! As you watch and play netball, the rules become clear!
The weather doesn't look like it's suitable to play?
All matches have some elements of risk. The umpires will decide and manage the games accordingly. In the event both teams agree to not play due to weather conditions, the match will be postponed and played before next weeks fixtures.
I have several piercings, do I have to take them out?
Preferably yes. They pose an increased risk of injury to yourself as well as others. If it is a new piercing and/or cannot be taken out, then it is the responsibility of the player to make sure it is suitably covered with tape/ padding to mitigate the risk caused to themselves and others. Umpires will always hold and reserve the right to not allow you to play if the piercing is not deemed to be suitably covered or padded.
I have a smart watch, Fitbit or heart rate monitor device that I want to wear, is that allowed?
Preferably, arms and fingers should be bare as this is where the majority of contact in a game occurs. It is possible to convert many watches/ fitbits/ heart rate monitors to fit around the ankle where it poses significantly less risk. Other alternatives is securing it to shoe laces or your sports bra strap. However, much like piercings, if an umpire asks you to remove it and you cannot comply, they reserve the right to not allow you to play.
