Where in netball is the wing attack allowed?
Okay, so basic principles: a netball court is divided into thirds. Each team has an attacking or goal third, a defence third (aka the other team's goal third) and both teams share the centre third.
The WA can play anywhere in the centre third, but for the centre pass she must stand just inside the goal third until the whistle blows. She can also play anywhere in the goal third, but NOT inside the goal circle or she'll be called offside. The WA is not allowed anywhere in the defence third (other team's goal third).
How fit do you have to be to play netball for an hour?

How is balance used in netball?
The moving object in Soccer is a Soccer Ball or "Futbol" as it is referred to by most nations other than the U.S. A high quality soccer ball is made up of many hexagonal (six sided), and pentagonal (five sided) patches that are sewn together as a cover. This cover may be constructed of anything ranging from simple rubber for practice balls, to expensive, game balls constructed with high tech fibers. Inside the cover is a strong, air-tight bladder that holds the air pressure for the soccer ball. The ball is close to being a perfect sphere, however more expensive game balls are better than cheaper, rubber balls in ALL areas! UMBRO, MITRE and other manufacturers offer a complete line of soccer balls that are generally considered of "high quality." Not only that, but you can buy some of these brand name balls for very reasonable prices. The best place to look for a high quality soccer ball is at you local sporting goods store, not a general retail store with a sports section. Some do's and don'ts: DON'T: Play with your soccer ball on ANY kind of hard pavement! This will damage the cover, over time, and quickly! DO: Only play with your soccer ball on a grassy area, field, or actual soccer field or "PITCH" as it is properly referred to. What you need to set up a decent soccer field "PITCH.": 1. A rectangular, flat, sodded field. (Search for soccer pitch dimensions on the web for size.) Avoid a field with a crown in the middle, such as a standard football field. This will alter the dynamics of the soccer ball as it reacts to the field. 2. Proper chalk lines: look up soccer chalk lines on the web for layout. 3. An official sized goal and a couple of balls for your needs: junior or adult etc. 4. Indoor soccer cleats are a nice addition. I like Mitre, Addidas, and Lotto brands. 5. Small orange cones are a good way to practice your moves! 6. Look up the set of rules for the game for soccer on the net. I'm sure it's out there, I don't want to explain all of it here. 7. One kicks a soccer ball with the inside, side of the left or right foot. 8. The ball can be "dribbled" or "crossed" or "passed" etc. BUT, only with one's feet and lower to mid body. To receive a hard pass, one can use his/her chest to "catch" the ball and then take over with his/her feet. 9. To "Cross" means to kick a pass, usually on the run, across the field of play to a fellow team mate. 9. To "Dribble" the soccer ball is to learn the art of gently kicking the ball with the insides of both feet, on the run, moving the ball down or across the field of play. 10. A "Pass" is just that. A pass of the soccer ball from one player to the next. The objective of the game is to score "goals" on the other team by kicking the soccer ball into "their goal." Each team has a "Goal Tender" to protect the goal. It's somewhat like Hockey. There is a lot more to learn about Soccer or Futbol, than I can explain here. As for the original question. LIterally, "What is Used in Soccer?" I would say a soccer ball, and a heck of a lot of energy spent by the players. The game is divided into two, 45min halves. That's 45min. of running and running. For more information look up Soccer on the Internet.
Can you shoot with one foot on the base line in netball?
After you catch the ball, whichever foot touches the ground first is called your landing foot; if both feet touch the ground simultaneously, or if both feet are already on the ground when you catch the ball, then you can choose either foot to be the landing foot.
Whichever foot is your landing foot, the other foot can be moved however you like, essentially so long as your landing foot stays in the same spot. Well, almost. To complicate things, you are allowed lift your landing foot off the ground, as long as your other foot remains still once the landing foot is lifted. You must also let go of the ball before your landing foot touches the ground again.
Needless to say, you can't drag your landing foot, nor can you hop, skip or run with the ball. And you have to release the ball within three seconds.
Center - can go anywhere except into the goal squares on both sides.
Goal Attack - can go into the goal square where they are shooting, the third they started off with and the middle third.
Goal Defence - can go into the goal square they are defending, the third they started in and into the middle third.
Wing Attack - can go into the third they started off with and the middle third.
Wing Defence - can go into the third they started off with and the middle third.
Goal Shooter - can go into the the goal square and the the third on the side they are shooting.
Goal Keeper - can go into the goal square they are defending and the third they on the side that they are defending.
The positions are easy to remember. It is best if you memorise it instead of going where your opponent goes.

Why is strength important in netball?
Because without them it is hard to become a really successful player. I've seen excellent shooters, don't miss a goal, but they didn't know the skills needed for working in the goal circle, so they missed out on becoming a really good players. But don't worry the skills are really easy to learn and master!
