The History of Netball

The History of Netball

The origins of netball can be traced back to 1891 when Dr James Naismith created the game of basketball. Although basketball was originally designed for men, in 1892 it was adapted for female students with the aim of maintaining female etiquette. The modified version of women's basketball became very popular and by 1895 had spread in different forms across the United States. The gradual transition from basketball to netball was first made at Madame Österberg's college (in Dartford, England) in 1897. An American teacher introduced a game that used basketball rules and an outdoor court but replaced basketball hoops with basic netted rings without backboards. This equipment change gave the sport a new name of 'netball'. From this point, the game has continued to grow with thousands of children and adults playing both professionally and recreationally every week.

Let's take a closer look

1891 – The game was invented in USA and called basketball. 1897 – Netball was played for the first time. 1900 – The Physical Education Association creates the first set of rules. 1926 - The All England Net Ball Association is formed. 1932 – The first national competition was played. 1949 – The first international matches were played between England, Scotland and Wales. 1960 – A new international code of rules was adopted, with the names of positions and match length changed.

What is Netball?

Netball is played by two teams of seven players, with the aim of shooting a ball through the opposing team’s goal ring, which is positioned ten feet above the ground. Netball brings together a combination of speed, skill, agility, balance and tactics. The game is contested by two teams of seven players and involves one team invading another team’s territory with the aim of shooting a ball through their opponent's net. However, different to most invasion games, a netball court is broken into different sections and a player's position in the team affects what area they are allowed in.

The Netball Court . .

A competitive netball match is played on a large rectangular court and can be played both indoors and outside. An official court is measured at 30.5 m (100 ft) long and 15.25 m (50 ft) wide.

Netball post - the vertical height should be 3.05 metres from the ground. Netball ring - the ring's internal diameter should be 38 cm and the ring's thickness 1.5 cm. Goal circle - the attacking team are only able to shoot when they are within the semi-circle. The area measures a radius of 4.90 metres. Centre circle - the match begins and restarts after a goal from the centre circle. The area measures a diameter of 0.90 metres. The netball court is assigned into three different areas and two goal circles. No one player is allowed in all 5 areas of the court.

The position of the players

Players A netball team consists of seven players per side and is divided into different positions. Like most sports the team has very clear roles to support their overall success: Centre (C) - this position starts the game and is allowed anywhere on the court except their own and the opposing team's goal circles. Wing attack (WA) - this position aims to collect the ball and deliver it safely into the goal circle to the shooters. The wing attack is only allowed in the top 2 thirds of their court. Goal attack (GA) - this position aims to collect the ball safely from the wing attack or centre and either passes to the shooter or has a shot for themselves. The goal attack is only allowed in the top two thirds of their court and the goal circle. Goal shooter (GS) - this position aims to find space in order to receive the ball from their teammates and shoot at the net. The goal shooter is only allowed in the top third of their court and the goal circle. Wing defence (WD) - this position is required to close down opposition players, intercept and protect the goal circle. The wing defence is only allowed in the bottom two thirds of their court. Goal defence (GD) - this position deals with preventing the opposition from passing the ball into the goal circle. The goal defence is only allowed in the bottom two thirds of their court and the goal circle. Goal keeper (GK) - this position aims to close down opposition shooters in order stop the ball from being shot at the net. The goal keeper is only allowed in the bottom third of their court and the goal circle.

The Rules

Netball scoring, rules and officials Scoring In a game of netball there are two cle ar ways to score points: In open play, if a shot is successfully scored from inside the goal circle, the team gains one point. If the team is awarded a technical foul then they will receive a free shot at the net. A successful shot will be awarded with one point.

The Rules

A defending player is only allowed to stand beside the player with the ball until it has left their hands. A defending player must stand three feet away from the person with the ball. An attacking player is unable to hold the ball for more than three seconds.

Players must remain within their designated zones. The team retaining possession after the ball goes out of play have three seconds at the sideline to get the ball back into play. Officials

Players are not allowed to travel with the ball. A team can have up to 12 players but only seven are allowed to play on court. Defending players are unable to snatch or hit the ball out of another player's hands.

Netball Passes

Passing in Netball

Short Passes Chest pass- you through the ball from your chest to the other player Bounce pass- a bounce at the player your passing to, bounce at their feet, easy to intercept Underarm pass- Not common, you are literally chucking the ball at the player! Long Passes Over arm/shoulder pass- push over the arm Over head- usually used for shooting or height

Bounce pass

Performing a bounce pass in netball. A bounce pass is a short pass that enables the player to find a teammate in a crowded area. The height of the ball makes it difficult for the opposition to reach and intercept.

Stage one Feet shoulder-width apart in opposition, with knees bent. Place hands each side and slightly behind the ball, with the fingers comfortably spread. Hold the ball at waist level, with elbows tucked in. Stage two Step in the direction of the pass, through extending your legs, back and arms. The wrist and fingers should be forced through the ball releasing it off the first and second fingers of both hands. Follow through with the arms fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and thumbs pointing to the floor.

Chest Pass

Performing a chest pass in netball A chest pass is a very fast and flat pass. This enables a team to move quickly up a court in a precise and accurate fashion.

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and on the balls of your feet, with back straight and knees slightly bent. Place hands on the sides of the ball with the thumbs directly behind the ball and fingers comfortably spread.

The back of the hands face one another with the thumbs straight down. Make sure the ball is released off the first and second fingers of both hands. Follow through to finish up with the arms fully extended, fingers pointing at the target and thumbs pointing to the floor.

The ball should be held in front of the chest with the elbows tucked in. Step in the direction of the pass, by extending their legs, back, and arms. Push the ball from the chest with both arms (not from one shoulder). Fingers are rotated behind the ball and the thumbs are turned down.2

Shoulder Pass

A shoulder pass is a very dynamic, fast and a long pass. This enables a team to switch positions on court very quickly to either find a player in space or break defensive screens. However, a shoulder pass may not be thrown from the defensive third to the attacking third without being handled in the middle third.

Step in the direction of the pass by transferring your body weight from back foot to front foot. Pull the arm through with the elbow leading. To follow through, fully extend your arm and wrist. Point your fingers in the same direction as the pass, with palms facing down. 1 2 3 4 5

Player's feet should be shoulder width apart in opposition. Opposite foot forward to throwing arm. Stand on balls of feet with toes pointing toward target, and knees slightly bent. Hold the ball at head height, slightly behind your head. Elbow should be at a 90° angle. Fingers spread behind the ball.

Netball standing shot - An effective and accurate shot completed by the goal shooter and goal attack.

Run towards the ball and jump by extending the legs and ankles. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on the ball. Bring your hands out in front of your body at chest height with fingers spread open and pointing up.

Keep your upper body straight and head up. Make sure the hip of your pivoting leg is pointing in the direction you are aiming to pass the ball in. You can move or step with the other foot any number of times. You are not allowed to lift the foot you are pivoting on before you release the ball.

Stand with knees slightly bent and your feet shoulder width apart. Bring the ball into your body to protect it. Pivot by rotating yourself on the ball of your landing foot.

Thanks for watching.

We will be looking out for new players in Year 5 and 6 to join the school's Netball team. It is an exciting opportunity to play against other schools and compete in competitons around Kent.
