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!!
