My forever love is netball
A few facts about my favourite sport
Netball is an exciting, fast and skillful game of fair
contest. It is a game in which two teams of seven players each strive to
keep or gain possession of the ball. The team with the ball, through
running, jumping, throwing and catching, attempts to move the ball into
its goal circle from where a goal may be scored, while the opposing team
uses defensive movements and strategies to prevent this and to gain
possession.
The team with the greater number of goals is the winner of the
match.
Players have specified areas in which they can move. Play restarts after
each goal with teams having alternate possession. The rules are based on
the core values of
equal opportunity, fair play and respect for an opponent’s skill and
safety.
