sport is my life
Netball is a fast, exciting, true team sport which involves running,
jumping, throwing and catching.
Netball is similar to basketball although the rules, equipment and team
numbers are slightly different: no dribbling; no running with the ball; 7
players per team; ball must be passed in 3 seconds; ball and basket are
slightly smaller; there is no backboard; players are designated to certain
areas of the court. Netball also has similarities to european handball,
korfball and ultimate frisbee.
Netball is played by over 20 million people in more than 70 countries. In
1995, Netball became a “recognized” Olympic sport and a strong push is underway
for its inclusion in the Olympic Games Program.
