Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2007) A netball game in Australia Netball is a non-contact generally indoor sport similar to, and derived from, basketball . It is usually known as a women's sport. It was originally known in its country of origin, the United States , as "women's basketball". Invented in 1895 by Clara Gregory Baer , a pioneer in women's sport, it is now the pre-eminent women's team sport (both as a spectator and participant sport) in Australia and New Zealand and is popular in the West Indies Sri Lanka , and the United Kingdom Contents History Description and rules Court dimensions Positions ... edit History Netball traces its roots to basketball . Basketball was devised in 1891 by James Naismith for his students in the School for Christian Workers (later called the YMCA ). Female teachers got curious and started to formulate a version for girls. The outfits of women at this time hindered them from effectively executing important basketball moves such as running and dribbling, so the game had to be modified to accommodate these restrictions. Women’s basketball, or ‘netball,’ was thus born. Netball was first played in England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College and soon spread throughout Australia , the then- British colonies of Jamaica and Antigua , and indeed most British Commonwealth territories. It did not yet have hard-and-fast rules. So loose were the regulations, in fact, that some games were played by nine players in each team, while some were played with only five players in each. The nets used were also ineffective – they were not open at both ends, so after each goal was scored, the umpire had to retrieve the ball from the top of the post.

The netball court is 100 ft long by 50 ft wide, approximately the size of a tennis court. The court is split by two lines that divide the court into thirds. At both ends of the court there is a shooting semicircle and a ten ft goal post with no back board. Each team member has a specific position that is restricted to an area on the court. These restricted areas have an attacking and defending player in them, each from an opposing team. From Nevis Netball Read on The Game About Netball Netball Rules Netball History Netball Injuries ...

Special Olympics Great Britain athlete Paula Sage was as excited by the news that she and her fellow netball team members had qualified for those Games as she was celebrating her starring role in the movie AfterLife at its London premiere on Wednesday, 11 August 2004. Sage's team placed second at the Games. "I love my netball," she said. "I would have liked the gold, although silver is good too. It was awesome." [Photo courtesy Special Olympics Great Britain] Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing and catching. It evolved as a result of a misinterpretation of the rules of basketball. Netball teams may include up to 12 players, but only seven may take the court at any one time. Each player has a playing position determined by the areas on the court where they may move. The playing positions are shown by identification letters worn above the waist, on both the front and the back of the player. The object of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within an area called the Goal Circle; only two players from each team, the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter, may score goals. The game is a popular participatory and spectator sport in many British Commonwealth countries. Netball Facts Netball can be played either indoors or outdoors on the appropriate courts.

Index Origins of the Great Girlie Game The Basics My Netballing Life The Tidewater Stars ... Links Origins of the Great Girlie Game Netball derived from basketball and in fact it used to be called women's basketball when I was a pup. Apparently it resulted from some confusion when the rules of the new game of basketball was imported into Britain in the late . It was then developed as a more lady-like version suitable for English school girls via strict non-contact rules and limitations on the amount of movement around the court. This therefore minimised the exertion the 'gels' were exposed to and also of course minimised their perspiration...er I mean their "glow". Things have changed a little since then. Although players are still only allowed to take one step with the ball and the court limitations on each position remain, the game is now high paced, extremely energetic and, judging by the amount of times I fall down on court, far from lady-like! Its a great game and is now apparently the number 2 participant sport in Australia (after golf). Its the number one women's sport in the world and now even the guys are getting into the act. The Basics As you can see, netball is played with seven players on each team on a court that is divided into three sections, plus two goal circles and a centre circle.

Return Back Defense drills General tips Suggestions and observations for coaches: Defenders should ask themselves "where’s my player" and "where’s the ball" aim to intercept the ball keep the ball away from their oponent restrict the options available to throwers watch the wrist action of shooter for direction of pass When changing your defence from the left to the right side (or vice versa) of an opponent do it in front of that player From Col Evans Triangle drill Requirements: 4 players, one ball Place 3 players in a triangle 3-4m apart, one with the ball (thrower). 4th player (defender) stands opposite thrower, between and a little in front of the other two players (receivers). Thrower then makes chest pass to either receiver, defender must try to intercept. After five clean interceptions, players rotate. Coaching points: Adjust distances according to skill/size of defender to ensure defender has a realistic chance to intercept the ball. Ensure good fast chest passes only, no overheads. Defender should react to ball, not thrower's eyes
