Netball
Netball is a team
sport that is played
between two teams
of seven players each.
The objective of the
game is to score goals
by throwing the ball
through a ring that is
mounted on a 10-
foot-high (3m) pole.
The team that scores
the most goals at the
end of the game wins
A Brief History of Netball
• Netball was first played in England in the late 19th
century. At the time, it was called "women's
basketball" and was played mainly by women in
schools and colleges. The sport quickly gained
popularity and spread around the world, with the
first international match being played between
England and Australia in 1938
Where to Play Netball

• Netball can be played on both indoor and outdoor

courts, making it a versatile sport that can be
played all year round. There are also many local
clubs and leagues that offer opportunities for
players of all ages and abilities to get involved
Court of net Ball
The netball court is
divided into thirds.
The centre third is
where the game
starts, and the other
two-thirds are the
goal thirds. Each goal
third contains a goal
circle, which is where
the goals are scored.
The goal circle has a
radius of 4.9 meters,
and the goalpost is
3.05 meters high
Court
• The court is rectangular in shape and is level and
firm. The surface should be wooden (preferably
sprung wooden) but may consist of other material
provided it is safe to play on.
• The two longer sides are called side lines and
measure 30.5 m (100 ft).
• The two shorter sides are called goal lines and
measure 15.25 m (50 ft).
• Two lines parallel to the goal lines divide the court
into three equal areas. These lines are called
transverse lines. The middle area is called the
centre third and the two end areas are the goal
Goal post

• A goalpost is placed at the mid-point of each goal line. It

consists of the following:
• A vertical metal pole 65-100 mm (2.5-4 in) in diameter and
3.05 m (10 ft) high. The pole is:
• Inserted in the ground or sleeved beneath the floor so when it
is knocked there is a minimal amount of movement and it
remains stable
• Placed so the back of the pole is at the outside edge of the
goal line
• Covered with padding of uniform thickness not more than 50
mm (2 in) thick and extending the full length of the pole
Goal post
A horizontal metal ring made of
steel rod 15 mm (5/8 in) in
diameter with an internal
diameter of 380 mm (15 in)
A horizontal metal bar of length
150 mm (6 in), projecting from
the front edge at the top of the
pole, to which the ring is
attached
A net (preferably white) fitted to
the ring, clearly visible and open
at top and bottom.
Player and position

A netball team is made up of seven players who each have

their specific position and roles on the court. Let's break it
down:
Goal Shooter (GS): This player is responsible for scoring the
majority of the team's goals. They are positioned close to the
goalpost and must have excellent shooting skills, accuracy,
and coordination to score points for their team .
Goal Attack (GA): The goal attack works alongside the goal
shooter and supports them by scoring goals and helping to
create opportunities to shoot. They also help to transition
the ball from the centre third to the goal circle.
Position of player
• Wing Attack (WA): The wing attack is responsible for setting
up the attacking plays and helping to move the ball forward.
They work closely with the centre player to ensure that the
ball is moved quickly and efficiently up the court.
• Centre (C): The centre player is like the quarterback of the
team. They are responsible for directing the play and making
sure that the ball is moved from one end of the court to the
other. They also play a key role in both the attack and defence.
• Wing Defence (WD): The wing defence player is responsible
for marking the opposition's wing attack and preventing them
from getting the ball. They must be agile, quick, and have
excellent anticipation skills.
Position of player
• Goal Defence (GD): The goal defence player works to prevent the
opposition's goal attack from scoring. They must be quick, agile,
and have excellent timing to deflect shots and intercept passes.
• Goal Keeper (GK): The goalkeeper is the last line of defence
and must prevent the opposition's goal shooter from scoring.
They must be tall, agile, and have excellent jumping ability to
contest shots and rebound missed shots.
• Each player on the team has a crucial role to play in achieving
the overall objective of winning the game. They must work
together, communicate effectively, and support one another
to ensure that they play to the best of their ability.
Ball
•The match ball is spherical in shape:
•Measures 690-710 mm (27-28 in) in circumference
and weighs 400-450 g (14-16 oz)
•Is made of leather, rubber or suitable synthetic
material
•Is inflated to a pressure of 55-69kPa (8-10psi).
•The same match ball is used throughout a match. A
spare ball must be at the official bench and the
umpire may order its use in the event of damage to
the match ball or blood on the ball.
•The umpires check all match balls before play starts.
Netball
The ball used in
netball is made of
leather or rubber and
weighs between 14-
16 ounces (roughly
400-450g). The ball
must be passed, not
dribbled or kicked,
and can only be held
for three seconds
before it must be
passed to another
player.
Match
• A full match is divided into 4 quarters. At the
start of each quarter, the team that did not
start with the centre pass in the previous
quarter gets to start with the ball. If the
game ends in a tie, the teams play two
additional 7-minute halves. If the game is still
tied after the additional time, a golden goal
is used to determine the winner. The first
team to score wins the game.
Starting a Netball Game
• The game starts with a centre pass from
the centre of the court. The team with
the ball must pass it from player to
player, with the aim of getting the ball
into their goal circle and scoring a goal.
The opposing team tries to intercept
the ball and prevent the other team
from scoring.
Rules of Netball
• Now that we have covered the basics let's go
over some of the most important rules of
netball:
• Footwork: A player must always have one foot
on the ground when they catch the ball. They
can then pivot on that foot, but they cannot
hop or take any additional steps.
• Contact:
• Players are not allowed to make contact with other
players on the court. If contact is made, a free pass
is awarded to the opposing team.
• Obstruction:
• Players are not allowed to obstruct the movement
of another player. If a player obstructs another
player, a free pass is awarded to the opposing team
• Offside:
• Players must stay in their designated third of the
court, with the exception of the centre who is
allowed in all thirds. If a player goes offside, a free
pass is awarded to the opposing team.
• Out of Court: If the ball goes out of court, the
opposing team is awarded a throw-in from where
the ball went out.
Scoring of net ball

• A goal is scored when the ball is

thrown or batted above and
completely through the ring by a
Goal Shooter or a Goal Attack
from any point within the goal
circle including the lines
bounding the goal circle
Referee/ official of netball
• There are two key strands to officiating: Match
Officials (two umpires and a reserve) and Technical
Officials (scorers, timekeepers and any other
officials specified for an event).
