What is Netball?

Netball is a team sport that originated in England during the 19th century, the sport is predominantly popular as women's sports but mixed and men variants of the game are becoming increasingly popular across the world. The sport that Netball resembles the most is Basketball due to it's distinctive rules; however, the two sports are still very different.

The sport is played with two teams of seven players lined-up on a rectangular court, to score points, teams must throw the ball into the opposing team's net, the team with the most points within 60 minutes wins the games, the 60 minutes are divided into four 15-minute quarters. During a game, the court is divided into three sections, offence, centre and defence, in these sections that are individual positions, three for offence, one for centre and three for defence, dribbling is not allowed and the ball must be passed on within three seconds. During a passage of play, defending players may intercept or defend passes and shots but physical contact is not allowed in any way, this will result in a foul, leading to a penalty. Only players in the offence can score points and shots can only be taken within the shooting circle.
