Netball

Netball was first played in England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College and quickly spread to all the British Commonwealth territories, but it did not yet have hard-and-fast rules. So loose were the regulations, in fact, that some games were played by nine players in each team, while some were played with only five players in each. The nets used were also ineffective - they were not open at both ends, so after each goal was scored, the umpire to retrieve the ball from the top of the post.

Finally, Clara Baer, a gym teacher from New Orleans, asked Naismith for a copy of the basketball rules, identified the areas within which women players can move, and consequently introduced the 'zoning areas' we know today. This was the start of netball's formalization. This zoning rules along with many other provisions (such as elimination of the dribbling rule) were all included in the first draft of 'Rules for Women's Basketball.' In 1901, this set of rules was ratified and netball officially became a competitive sport.

Now, netball is played by both men and women. In fact, mixed teams are becoming acceptable, because the fundamentals of the game allow men and women to compete with each other on fair terms. The limits set by netball rules on defence prevent men from gaining an advantage, in spite of their superior strength and size.

Now netball is played in over 70 countries.

the bones used in shooting in netball is the humerus (long bone), ulna (long bone), radius (long bone), wrist - carpals and metacarpals (short bones), femur (long bone), patella (flat bone), tibia (long bone) and the fibula (long bone)

Netball isn't an Olympic Sport, although it is played in the Commonwealth Games

I' can't remember soz :)

It is important that each player has a different position in netball is because if each player has the same role, it wont allow them to go into seaperat areas of the netball caourt. You also cant try and score a point in netball because you have to be in the goal ring (semicircle).

Hope it helped :)

7 outfield players and some reserves

Eurail Pass connects you to most of European rail networks under one ticket. You get access to 28 European countries and even ferries -all at one flat rate. There are many options for pricing, but once you get hold of it it really makes a difference in your travel budget.

finding space is when you run to a space (where there are no defenders) and receive a pass. it does take some practise but after a few games it will start to come naturally.

Goal Defence

centre third

This is called replayed ball

im not sure you tell me SA Rules kristo t and Mario s waz here with josh l

its basset

irene live on a farm and she love it

Wing defence can go up to the D of the opposing side and to the line in the center third nearest there own goal.

a netball ball is the same as a football only a bit smaller

probably football because netball is a non contact sport

In a normal game of netball, each half is 30 minutes. Though keep in mind that the game is actually played in quarters and each quarter is 15 minutes long. Generally half time is longer than quarter time and thee-quarter time.

i think your tallkin about a WING atttack. i myself am i wing attack so i can only go in one goal third and the centre third. howeva, in the goal third im not allowed in the circle. around half the time i get the centre pass and i need to hav a high fitness level cauze a wing attack and a goal attack hav the most excersize to do. there is loads of sprinting and dodging. i gr8 training warm up for a wing attack is called suicide. it is a personal favourite of mine. your trainer (if u hav one) will know wat this is. try adding an addition to the game by lying on your stomach b4 runing each time. if u r really keen (like me) try adding push ups and sit ups as well

Only Goal Attack and Goal Shooter CAN score a goal.

So Wing Attack, Goal Keeper, Wing Defence, Centre, Goal Defence CAN'T score a goal.

goal shooter- can go in attacking third only-job is to shoot and hopefully score

goal attack- can go in attacking third and middle third-job is to help get the ball up nto the shooting circle and shoot

wing attack-can go in middle third and attacking third (but not the D)- job is to get the ball to the shooters

centre-can go everywhere except the two D's-job is to all round help attack and defend.

wing defence-can go in the centre third and defending third but not the D-job is to defend mid court
