Netball

Netball

 

Netball was invented in 1895 by Clara Gregory Baer. It was inspired by the basketball, the raw rules were written in 1901. This is a team sport between two teams of 7 players. The rules are: A basket is scored when a player positioned inside the "basket circle" throwing the ball through the opposing ring. Baskets, diameter 380 mm, are mounted at the top of poles of 3.05 meters in height, themselves positioned at both ends of the marker, the center of the "basket circles". Unlike basketball, the posts are not equipped with vertical panel on which the ball can bounce back. The "basket of circles" are semicircles radius of 4.9 m. Only certain players can progress in each area (see the table). There are three forwards, three defensemen and a "midfield". Only the Goal Shooter and Goal Attack can score when they are in order to circle. This sport is non-contact and the defender must be at least 90 cm of his opponent. A player with the ball can not do more than one step before passing it, and should not keep the ball more than three seconds. Unlike basketball, dribbling is prohibited. So you have to pass the ball to a player of his team to move the ball. A professional match lasts 60 minutes, divided into four 15-minute intervals. At the beginning of each quarter-time and after each goal, the faceoff takes place in the middle by the Centre and alternates from one team to another, regardless of the team that scored last.
