Basic Rules Footwork - When you catch the ball your landing foot cannot be moved (your other foot can!) - it’s like 2 steps. Repossession - Once you have the ball you may not release and re-take possession without another player first touching the ball
Distance - you cannot defend within 3 feet of the player with the ball.
Contact Netball is NON- CONTACT. That means the player AND the ball when it is in a players possession If a player does not have the ball you may ‘mark’ or ‘block’ within 3 feet of them WITHOUT using contact
Centres The centre pass is taken by the C with both feet in the C circle. Centre passes alternate between teams.
All other players must be outside the Centre third The ball goes back to the centre pass after every goal. Centres
Lastly Side / back line throws must be taken by a player outside of the lines, where the ball went off. The ball must be touched in each third. The umpire is ALWAYS right!
PLAY NICE!!
