 WHAT IS NETBALL 4

► Netball is a renowned sport, practiced and recognised in more than 80 countries

worldwide, popular amongst numerous common wealth countries, it is primarily
played with a ball , it consists of 2 teams each equipped with 7 athletes per team.
 HITSTORY OF NETBALL 5

► In 1891 30 year old James Naismith a Canadian immigrant to the USA was commanded to invent an indoor
sport for young active men. In 1895mit was only then when the sport “netball” was truly formed and
developed. Netball was first professionally played in 1895 in at Madame Ostenburg’s College England. The
game eventually grew among many British commonwealth countries. During an Australian tour of England
in 1957, discussions took place regarding the rules of the sport, and this led to representatives from England,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and The West Indies meeting in Sri Lanka in 1960, to launch, The
International Federation of Women’s Basketball and Netball. Since then, World Championships have been
held in Australia 1967, Jamaica 1971, New Zealand 1975, Trinidad & Tobago 1979, Singapore 1983,
Scotland 1987, Australia 1991, England 1995 and New Zealand 1999, during this campaign Australia
conquered throughout their international run, winning the most championships over this time period and
may continue in the near future. In 1995 Netball became a “recognized” sport of the champions
International Olympic Committee (IOC) and one of the Federation’s objectives is to ensure this status is
retained and to encourage the International Olympic Committee to include Netball in the Olympic Game
Programmes in the future.

from that island nation has made history in the world of netball. This sport commenced in the late 1900
primarily to prevent slavery and to enable woman and give them a sense of achievement which at this
time were the children of slaves that embarked in this sport. These girls represented the island nations in
international netball competition and was the first Trinidad team to achieve national recognition. The
Trinidad team competed at the first world netball championship in 1963. This sport is the first sport that

 HOW TO RESTART UPON 19

SCORING A BASKET
► When a goal is scored or at the start of a quarter/overtime, play is resumed from the
centre of the court using a "centre pass".
► These passes alternate between the teams, regardless of which team scored the last goal.
HOW TO RESTART UPON BALL 20

GOING OUT OF PLAY

► When the ball goes out of court, the umpire takes note of which team touched it last.
► The throw in is then taken by a player from the opposing team close to where the ball
went out of court.
► Standing close to the line from the outside of court, the player has three seconds to get
the ball back in play.
 BASIC VIOLATIONS 21

► Short Pass
When the ball goes out of court, the umpire takes note of which team touched it last. The throw in is then
taken by a player from the opposing team close to where the ball went out of court. Standing close to the
line from the outside of court, the player has three seconds to get the ball back in play.

► Long Pass
Making a long pass or also known as a driven pass is imperative in modern football for teams to cover as
much ground in the shortest time possible. It is different from the short pass as it is designed for the
receiving player to have wider room for attack or more room for defence - playing into space.
Continuing….. 22
► Football
Netball players cannot make physical contact with one another on the court. Defenders have to stand 3ft
(0.9m) away from the player with the ball and can only attempt to win the ball back once it has been
thrown into the air. They cannot attempt to knock it out of an opponent's hands.
► 3 Feet Foul

A player who is within 3 feet of an opponent, whether attacking or defending, may not use movements
that take the arms away from the body so as to limit the possible movements of an opponent. Netball is
no longer considered a non-contact sport.

► Pushing

A defender must be able to intercept the ball cleanly. However, no contact is allowed off the
ball. This includes attackers pushing off, backing into or pushing through a defender to get into
space to receive the ball. If the defender was in that space first, then the decision goes their way
and against the attacker.
