One of the most popular female sports in the world, netball is a fast paced, non-contact, indoor court sport.
The court is divided into three thirds with a shooting circle and a backboard-less hoop on each end of the court.
Two teams of seven players on court compete to score the highest number of goals. Players are restricted to certain thirds or “zones” depending on their position.
Positions:
Goal Shooter (GS)
Goal Attack (GA)
Wing Attack (WA)
Centre (C)
Wing Defense (WD)
Goal Defense (GD)
Goal Keeper (GK)
Basic Rules:
– No running with the ball
– No dribbling
– Defense must be three feet away from the player with the ball
– Ball must be released within 3 seconds
– The ball restarts at the centre circle and alternates possession after each goal is scored
