What penalty is called for a player who repeatedly violates the rules?

In netball, when a player consistently infringes upon the rules, a caution or warning is issued as a disciplinary measure. This serves to notify the player that their behavior is unacceptable and needs immediate correction. The aim is to maintain fair play and uphold the integrity of the game, allowing players the opportunity to adjust their conduct before facing more severe penalties, such as a suspension or expulsion from the game. Issuing a caution emphasizes the importance of sportsmanship and encourages players to adhere to the rules, fostering a more respectful and competitive environment.

A game suspension is typically reserved for serious infractions, while a free pass is granted for specific rule breaches that do not involve repeated violations. A timeout is a pause in play initiated by a coach or team, rather than a penalty for player conduct.
