Netball

When playing netball, you will be constantly marked by the oppostition; to get away from them and ready to receive the ball you need to dodge and change direction quickly. This is the reason agility is needed.

We have rules so game stays entertaining, for the safety of everyone and also so each team has an equal chance of winning. If there were no rules involved in a game of netball there would be no point in having officials or no point in people taking place because they could do what they like.

The role of an umpire in netball is to make sure the players are playing properly and that the game is running smoothly and properly. He/she must detect things like footwork, repossession, contact, the 3 second rule etc. The umpire's decision is final.

This varies from person to person, I would imagine. If you take the width of the court and times it by how many motions you make in the game, you could roughly estimate how many feet the miles, a player moves. But there's no realistic way to do this.

condyloid joint - helps you pivot around on your feet to pass the ball to one of your team members.

Hinge joint - allows you to put power into throwing ball when you push out your arms,this could be when your are a technique e.g. chest pass bounce pass

Space is crucial in netball. If the space is clogged up, you struggle to make successful leads, and it is easy for the defending tem to take intercepts.

Attacking shooters will often set screens, this stops the defending from being able to contect the ball and allows the shooter to move in the space. This helps to open up the court.

A specific style of defence to cut up the space is called a zone. Instead of defending on the player, you defend the space. This is to try and force the attacking team to throw across court and high balls, it is then easy for the defending team to read the ball and has time to move their feet and take intercepts.

New Zealand are wll known for their use of the Zone defence.

the centre third, where centre player starts off with the ball, and there are two shooting thirds.

Well...

#you cant play with less than 5 players

#You cant run with the ball

#You cant through the ball over a third

#C is aloud everywhere except from the semicircles, GS and GK are aloud in the goal third only, GA and GD are only aloud in two thirds, WA and WD are aloud in 2 thirds but not in the semi circle.

#Only GS and GA are aloud to shoot. They must be inside the semi circle.

#The ball must be thrown within 3 seconds of catching it.

#contacting other players is restricted

The WA plays in the attacking and defending third of a netball pitch (parts 1 and 2). They are not aloud in the shooting semi circle. The WA is expected to feed the circle players the ball (GS and GA) giving them opportunities to shoot.

there is the sentre circle, cenre third, 2xgoal thirds and 2x semicircles and off courts but i dont think that counts

inspirational, passion and drives others

top level players

respecting a society eg black people

who plays fairly and by the rules

4.9m or 16 feet

If your on about how long a quarter is, they can vary from 10-15 minutes. Depend at the level you play. At higher level such as England you play for longer so 15 mins, :)

4 quarters of 15 mins = 1 hour ;)

2.4m or 5ft high

Anywhere between 690mm to 710mm in circumference.

The England rugby team doesn't have an official nickname

10 years and under play with 2.4 metre high hoops; 13 years and over play with 3.05 metre (8 feet) hoops, but 11 & 12 year olds sometimes play with 2.4 metres, 2.6 metres or 3.05 metres, depending on local rules. At least that is what happens in New Zealand.

in netball max you are allowed to have 11 people.

Yes definitely. It is a great sport that you can compete in or just play for fun. You could even get a team together with some mates and play a game every now and then. You should definitely try it cause it is great fun and good for fitness.

well, you can keep a wristband or hair-tie on your wrist and swap it from one hand to another representing whose centre pass it is.

Its different because indoor netball is more cooler but outdoor is still a bit the same its just to get air for the players .And when its cold the players need to get more hard rock so to be more numb and get harder to play.

A serve is used to get points. Like when someone gets a point that team gets to serve. You can served up to as many points as it takes to get up to 25. Anyone can serve depending on the rotation. *Yes, a serve is a technique of getting points. But, its used to get the ball over the net after a rotation. The server continues serving until their team loses the ball then it goes to the opponent's team and their server serves until they lose the ball, and the cycle contiues until the game ends.
