NETBALL


ASSALAMUALAIKUM ...

Netball is a sport played in two teams of seven. It is like basketball except that bouncing the ball is not allowed, and the player cannot step with the ball either. There are 7 fixed positions on the court:
C -> Centre
WA -> Wing attack
WD -> Wing defence
GD ->Goal defence
GK ->Goal keeper
GS ->Goal shooter
GA ->Goal attack

RULES :

There are many rules in netball some of which are;
If a shooter attempts to shoot the ball but misses the hoop without it touching, then the shooter must wait until another player touches the ball first or until the ball bounces before she can touch the ball again.
A player can only hold the ball for three seconds - held ball
No stepping with the ball - stepping
When defending, a player must be 3 feet from the player with the ball - obstruction
A player may not bounce the ball to himself - replay
A player may not contact another player - contact
A player may not enter a part of the court where his position is not allowed - offside
When shooting or defending, a player may not use the pole as support - free pass to the other team
The ultimate aim, as it is in many sports, is to score as many goals as possible in the time. The goals are scored through a hoop - one reason why netball is quite similar to basketball .
BYEBYE ...
