Netball is a ball sport, played by 2 teams of 7 players. There are 7 different positions you could play. All of them do three main things (Attacker, Defender, Shooter). One team will attempt to pass the ball down the court and score a 1 point, by passing it to one of 2 shooter so they may shoot it in the hoop. While the opposite team defends the ball from reaching the opposite teams shooter.
All positions have a restricted area they are able play in. Some are allowed in 2 thirds, 1 third or all the thirds except the semi-circle. For every time a person is holding the ball they have three seconds to either pass it to a player, or shoot it in the hoop.
At a time someone is defending they can only defend three feet from the other person. If they are closer than three feet, that is referred to as a ‘Obstruction’, that person then has to ‘stand down’. When you stand down it means, you have to stand next to the person and you are not able to play until the ball is out of his/her hands.
