Can you shoot a basketball more accurately with or without a net on the hoop?
I definitly shoot more accruatley with a net than without. When your looking at the net about to shoot and your brain is figuring out the depth of it and how much power it will take to reach it. That's why for example if your playing a game of pool and can close one eye and aim better, but that method gives you no depth perception. Your brain is most accurate in calculating depth when you are focusing at one particlur point. Since you can't use the hole part to look at because there's nothing there your coaches tell you to look right at the back of the rim. Having the net there lets you focus on getting the ball to hit the inside back part of it instead of just the hole.
it depends on how you shoot

An example of when creating space is important?
If you are a WA or in another position where you need to run forward for a pass, you need to create space. If everyone is crowding around one area, run out into the open and call for the ball.
Also, if you need to run forward for the ball, you need to create space between you and your team member with the ball, so that you have space to sprint and make a lead in front of your defender.
What distance do you have to stand when marking an opponent in netball?
In netball, when marking an opponent, you must stand at least one meter away from them. This distance allows the player with the ball enough space to pass or shoot without obstruction. It is crucial to maintain this distance to avoid penalties for contact or obstruction.

When did netball change it rules from 9 a side to 7 a side?
It never did. On the court there is a maximum of 7 players on the court (one for each position) and a minimum of 5-6 depending on the club.
But on the side, a netball team, you can have as many subs as you would like. Most teams like to have 9 on a team (7 on the court and 2 on the bench) just in case of inguries and other things.
I'm 4 feet 10 is 4 feet 10 considered a dwarf?
alot of people see height as an advantage in netball and 9 times out of 10 if there are two exact same players with the exact same skills the taller player will be chosen. being a small netballer wont stop you playing netball it just means you have to be the best to get into a team.
