Explaining how to play netball.


Explaining how to play netball.

Netball is a really enjoyable game that is played all around the world. This particular sport can be quite competitive and can also be a pretty active game played mainly on outdoor courts measuring 30.5 meters long, 15.25 meters wide. Teams will have different amounts of players depending on the year groups of the competitors.


This sport involves having three positions, attack, defence, and my personal favourite centre. There must be two players for each position, with subs if you are lucky. Attack and defence are pretty similar but only the attacks can score. This is where defence and attack are similar as they can both only go on two-thirds of the court. Centres can go anywhere except for the shooting circle. When defending you must be at least a meter away from the player that is in control of the ball. 


All players are not allowed to move with the ball because that would be called stepping. You can only pivot which is when one foot is on the ground and you use the other foot to turn yourself around to make it easier to pass to your other team members. You must pass the ball down to the hoop that your team is shooting in. After passing the ball, you run to try and catch the ball again. The team with the most points wins. The attacks must be in the shooting circle to be able to score points.


There are many penalties in this sport, the main ones are, stepping, obstruction, contact, and replay. Stepping is when you lift your feet off the ground while the ball is in your hands. Obstruction is if you are defending too close to the player with the ball. Contact is when you touch one of the other players while trying to defend. Replay is when either you bounce the ball then receive it again, or if you try to shoot a goal and it misses the hoop completely and you catch it again.


Netball is a very fun game that anyone can play whether they just want to get fit or even just have a good time, anyone can play. Netball is a sport that you can play in any weather and still have fun, except for in conditions like tornado, hail or thunder and lightning.
