Blood rule

The player or team responsible for blood spillage must ensure the affected area is cleaned promptly. Play must cease until all blood on the ground or equipment has been removed. Cleaning supplies including solution, rubber gloves, and paper towels are provided at the canteen. The solution should be left on for 5 minutes before wiping it up. If the match ball is contaminated with blood, the referee is responsible for initiating the cleaning process of the ball or exchanging it for a clean one from the designated area. It is mandatory to always use gloves and cleaning solution, followed by wiping with paper towels, all of which can be obtained from the canteen.

Concussions
Chelsea Basketball adheres to strict concussion protocols to handle such injuries to protect our member’s health.
