Goal Attack and Goal Shooter.

Netball is a fast paced game in which the aim of the game is to work as a team to get to your goal post and score a goal. In netball there are many different positions to play and each position has a different role to play in the team to help score and stop the other team scoring. There are 14 players on a court at anytime (7 from each team) then there are the umpires. The positions go as followed, Goal Shooter (GS) - is one of only two people able to shoot and score a goal form their team, Goal Attack (GA) - The other person able to shoot and score..this player has more running to do as they aren't as limited as the shooter and is also used to get the ball from one end to the other of the court, Wing Attack (WA) - is a crucial player as they are the player who is mainly used to get the ball to the goal, Wing Defence (WD) - This player is used to defend and stop the WA getting the ball and gets the ball back to their team, Centre (C) - This player is both defence and attack but is mainly used for getting the ball form the defending side to the attacking side...this player must be very fit and able to run alot, Goal Defence (GD) - This player defends the GA and is also able to defend the GS if needed, this player needs to get the ball off the other team get get it back from the opposite goal post to their teams post, Goal Keeper (GK) - Defends the GS, stopping the shooter getting a goal. Each player has certain areas they are allowed to go in and aren't allowed in. The court is split into thirds with each end third having a semi-circle with the goal post in it. The middle third has a small circle where the centre starts off with the ball. The game is also split but into quarters. The quarters are 10-12minutes long with a 1, 2, or 3 minute interval. Basic Rules - When you have the ball, you aren't allowed to move with the ball (that is called stepping). You aren't allowed to defend within' 3 feet of the player, so you must be 3 feet away from the player before defending (this is called obstruction). You cannot contact other players (major contact - minor contact is allowed but you aren't allowed to touch the ball if another player has it in their hands. Don't think netball is a sissy game cos' no contact but in actual life netball is really a full-contact game as if the umpires don't see... There is LOADS of shoving and pushing and dirty play. you have to be sneaky ;) ) Not following this rule is called contact. From the centre pass you have to get the ball within' the middle third. You must touch the ball at least once in each third or else its a free pass to the other team called over a third. eg. You get the ball from the opposite team in their goal circle and throw it straight over everyone into your goal circle. That is NOT allowed you have to touch in the middle third before getting it in the goal third. Most of the rules if broken result in a free pass to the other team. The older you/ the higher you are in the competion, the tougher the rules are. There are other smaller rules that you will learn over time too. Be patient and enjoy yourself when playing this magnificen game and you'll have fun, make friends and get fit. (:

on netball if a channel is where there are almost invisible lines set across the court these are channels usuallty the wing attack has a channel, center has the center channel and goal attack has the other channel on the wing.

channels can be used to transfer the ball across the court so that you don't end up with a bunch of players huddled around the ball.

There are no officially approved rules for wheelchair netball at present. However most wheelchair netball is played to fairly standard, simple modifications of the IFNA rules.

The basic modifications are:

1) footwork rules are replaced by maximum travel: wheels must travel no more than 1.5 revolutions once the ball has been received.

2) 4 seconds rather than 3 seconds before held ball is called

3) one bounce of the ball is allowed whilst taking posession

4) ball may be held in the lap whilst stopping or turning

5) unlimited substitution

Modifications also apply to the 3ft obstruction rule, but these are more variable in practice; extremes run from a "stationary wheel" principle (equating to landing foot) to 3ft for any part of the chair.

As wheelchair netball is not generally played competitively in the UK at present, there is a common tendency to make adjustments as liberal as possible to encourage participation rather than to focus on close officiation. It is also common to allow those without impairment to participate (in wheelchairs).

As the sport develops competitively, it is likely that competition rules will not only consolidate some of the above practices, but also include some additional considerations, e.g. a "points system" (as in wheelchair basketball) to balance teams with players of different levels of impairment.

while playing netball and your defending another person, you have to stand three feet away in other terms a metre away.

Screening is where an attacker blocks the path or view of the defender in order to complete an attacking move.

Because every player as a specific job. Each player is scattered across the court and if there was any more players it would just be too crowded. You need you space to move around, and work you space. But you do need reserves because its very tiring.

no unfortunately

A defence technique where usually GD and GK will team up on either the GA or GS. used mainly when one of the shooters does not usually shoot.

a toss up is used when there is a fight for the ball and umpire cant call whos it is. So they have a toss up against the two people who were fighting over the ball. They then have to face the way there shooting so far apart from each other with there hands beside there sides/

netball dresses come in a lot of different sizes. asking how big a netball dress is is like asking how big a girls skirt is. It depends on how tall the person wearing the dress is, so someone who is tall would have a very different length dress to someone who is very short.

To co-ordinate a netball shot is to make sure that both feet are facing the netball post when you receive the ball in the circle and the distance that you want to take the shot at.

When you do the split, as you bring your front leg in to meet and turn your back leg, turn your foot around, but keeping it grounded so you do not step, make sure that it is facing the goal post, and your co-ordination shall be spot on, and all you have to work on is the strenthg of your pass towards the goal.

Try practsing right in front of the goal post first and then move outwards, making sure that you're feet are facing the post, and your accuracy shall be right on.
