Netball

i work it out by saying the line you are standing on, you can go up to the one in front of you and the one behind you. except center, they can go everywhere except the goal circles. hope that helps :)

A 10 year old it should be 9 feet high

A 11 year old 9 or maybe 10 feet high

and so on

Agility helps in netball because it is a fast paced game with many quick changes of direction. If the game changes direction suddenly then a player needs to be able to stop, turn and run in the other direction as quickly as possible. Agility is also helpful if a player intercepts the ball because they need to be able to land, pivot and then throw the ball off to one of their team mates before heading back up the court to their goal end.

Netball was originally derived from basketball and was first known as "women's basketball". It originally just included basic rules and the separate zones and more rules have been added and standardized over time. Most countries that are involved in netball standardize their rules every 4 years to keep up to date with the latest trends.

in a netball match the usual score is something around 8-5. or along those lines. a match is split into quaters and in each quarter a team will normally score around 3 goals. ENJOY YOUR NETBALL! x

The height of a netball goal for a 12 year old should be the same as the adults use which is 3.05 metres (10 feet) it gives them confidence to shoot that high and practice makes perfect.

Say the C has no where to pass to they then pass either in the attacking or defending third. u r not allowed to do dat in netball a C pass has to be taken in the main third when starting off fresh..

In 1891, a 30-year-old Canadian, James Naismith, immigrated to Springfield, Massachusetts in the USA. He had invented men's basketball game in the 1890 and was asked to develop a women's version of basketball game by the Boston YMCA. Then the miniature form of Netball game was formed.

An official (referee or linesman) is on the ice with the players, they wear a striped jersey to distinguish them from the players. Referees are mainly responsible for signaling goals, stopping play when the goalie covers the puck, when the puck goes out of play. They are also responsible for calling penalties. A linesman on the other hand, watches for Offside and Icing violations and stop play for them. They also conduct all faceoffs (except for at the start of a period and after a goal) Linesmen can also give the referee insight on a play and help to make the final call. A referee pretty much just monitors the game to make sure its as far as possible.

There are a variety of different referee systems, used in various leagues. The most popular is the 1 referee, 2 linesmen system. One referee covers the full area of the ice, while the two linesmen make offside and icing calls. In the NHL, and other pro leagues, they use 2 referees and 2 linesmen. This as helped for the crackdown on obstruction and to have stricter penalty calls. They also use the "two man system" Where both officials act as referees and linesmen.

Theres the 1-1 system. 1 referee, and 1 linesmen. The linesman covers both lines. This, and the two man system are usually used when 1 official doesn't show up.

The 2-1 system. Two referees and 1 linesmen is a newer system just being made popular in the last few years. Not many leagues use this yet.

In non competitive leagues, they use the 1 man system. This doesn't allow for as precise calls.

Netball is not better than swimming and swimming isn't better than Netball because its up to you what you like better. So if you cant decide ask a friend or try out the sport but if you don't like it try thay other.

The Centre is allowed everywhere but the shooting circles. This is because the centres main job is to link the defence and attack.

$100,000 a game and 60,000 a year.

Because doing footwork is a foul, so the opposition gets a free pass. The umpire has to blow the whistle to stop the other players continuing.

In 1871 Dr James Naismith, a Canadian immigrant YMCA instructor in the USA, invented the game of basketball. Another American, Dr Toles, who was visiting England in 1890, introduced basketball to that country, and although Englishmen preferred traditional sports, it was popular with the ladies.

In England in 1895, ladies using broomsticks for posts and wet paper bags for baskets played the basketball game on grass. Their long skirts, bustle backs, nipped waists and button up shoes impeded running and their leg-of-mutton sleeves restricted arm movement making dribbling and long passes difficult. The ladies decided to adapt the game to accommodate these restrictions.

In 1898 the court was divided into thirds, the number of players increased from five to nine and a smaller ball (a soccer ball) was used. There were two umpires, two scorers and two timekeepers - almost as many officials as players for each match.

In those early days the nets were not open at both ends and after each goal was scored, the umpire had the task of retrieving the ball from the top of the post.

In England in 1901 the first set of rules was published and 'netball' officially came into existence in that country. At the turn of the century school teachers from England travelled to many countries of the then British Empire, and the game of netball or "ladies basketball" (if prior to 1901) went with them.

Once established, the game developed locally and soon each country had its own separate rules and distinct methods of play, even its own name for the game. In Australia and New Zealand where the game was established before 1901, it was called Women's Basketball and the name was changed to Netball in these two countries in 1970.

For efficient running into space and accurate passing/shooting.

they watch their particular lines, so that if a tennis court doesnt have hawk eye (but most tennis tourney grand stadiums have hawk eye, and they use both linesmen and hawk eye)- they can determine whether the ball is in or out, to make the game as fair as possible.

Yes netball players need speed, because they have to be able to fake and avoid other competitors and they have to be able to move quickly to get the ball.

Netball was first played in England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College

The bounce pass is used in BASKETBALL. It is most often used as part of a quick scoring drive when the ball handler is under the basket and has too many defenders on him to shoot. The bounce can be tweaked with spin, making it harder to intercept than a snap pass.

(edit)... The above is true, but a bounce pass IS also a good idea in Baseball when an outfielder is throwing a long distance (e.g. Center Field to Home, or Right Field to first base). The idea is that if the distance is too great for the fielder to throw the ball low and fast, he could throw a "rainbow" pass, a bounce pass, or throw to the "cut-off" man. The bounce pass has the advantage of being low and fast, with the disadvantage of a potential "bad hop" off the ground. The rainbow or "lob" pass is slow because it has to travel up, and then down, which takes longer than a low and fast throw. A bounce pass may get there faster than using the cutoff, but it also may bounce wrong off the ground. Using a cut-off man, when available, gives added precision to the play, and with practice, the turn-around time for the cut-off man can be minimal.

Okay, as you most likely already know each player has a certain area of play, except the center, there a 3 thirds, 2 goal thirds (each end of the netball court) and a center third ( where the center circle is).

Yes, the ball is still in play if the it hits the goal post as the post is not considered to be 'out'.
