Major netball rules infringements ...

• Netball players cannot make physical contact with one another on the court — so this rules out any forms of barging or wrestling an opponent for the ball!

• 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.

• Players can mark other players, even when they haven’t got the ball, but any physical contact results in a penalty pass being awarded.

• Even accidental contact will result in a penalty pass if a player has been ruled to have been unfairly hindered.

Minor netball rule infringements ...

Ball control

• When a netball player receives a pass they are not allowed to run with the ball or dribble with it.

• To gain control of the ball, a player can bat or bounce the ball once, but they cannot bat and bounce the ball, or do either more than once. It is also against the rules to push the ball into the air before batting or bouncing it.

• A player has to be standing in a stationary position before they can throw the ball.

Three-second rule in netball

• So that the game is played at a fast pace, netball players are given only three seconds to make a pass after catching the ball.

Making space in a netball match

• To give the opposition an opportunity to steal the ball, team members must leave enough room between themselves when passing so that an opponent would feasibly be able to move between them and intercept.

Netball rules guide

The rules of netball are easy to understand, even for a complete beginner. Netball rules fall into two basic categories: minor (or 'technical') rules and major rules which are outlined in this netball rules guide...  

Minor netball rules

Breaking a minor rule in netball leads to the opposition being awarded a free pass — which is a pass taken from the same spot where the infringement occurred.

Major netball rules

Breaking a major netball rule is naturally considered to be more serious, and results in the opposition being awarded a penalty pass — which means the player who broke the rule must stand out of the way until the pass is taken. If a player gives away a penalty pass in the goal circle then the shooter can take a free shot at goal.

this is only some i will get more to you later.

this is the court possitions.

netball is great if you want to keep fit because you can get the hang of it really easily also you dont really have to be to good at any other sport except acuracy but you can work on that at the club if you want to go to one.

right well this is my blog about netball< the reason i did this was because that is one of my favourite sports, my favourite possitions in netball is either center or goal shoot, you have a choise from goal shoot, goal defence, goal keeper, wing atack, wing defence and center. the reason i like those to possitions is because im quite tall and can shoot and run easy.
