Rules & Regulation
Introduction
In this section I will be looking at the rules and regulation also in
netball.
Position
Centre - Has to be very fit the role of the centre is attacking
and defending the centre is allowed everywhere except semi
circles.
Wing Attack - Role is to get the ball into the semi circle for
goal to be scored. Allowed in centre third and attacking
third.
Wing Defence - Role is to defend the ball from going into the
semi circle so the other team can't score allowed in centre
third and defending third.

score points, works with the GA.
Allowed in attacking third & semi circle.
Goal Keep - Main role is to block off shots from the other
team, works with GD.
Allowed in defending third &semi circle.
5 Basic Rules
Players cannot make any physical contact.
I think this rule is good because it stops taller and bigger players
using their size to unfair advantages.
Obstruction
Defenders have to stand 3ft away from the player with the ball
and can only try to win the ball once it has been released into the
air.
Players can mark other players, even when they haven’t got the
ball, but any physical contact results in a penalty pass being
awarded.
Ball Control
When a player receives a pass they are not allowed to run with the
ball or dribble with it.
Three-second rule
The three second rule is so that the game is played at a fast pace,
players are given only three seconds to make a pass after catching
the ball.
Regulation
Some of the regulation in netball are:
The type of clothing you have to wear this is important in netball
so they no their positions also if your going to wear things like
sin pads, mouth guide etc this is so you don't get hurt and injure
yourself.
Regulation 2
There can only be 7 players on the court in the match. This is
because every player has a specific job. Each player is spaced
across the court. Also, so
that it is safe and not too crowded with a lot of players on the
court.
This helps the game so there is more people to pass to on your team,
make the game fast and the players are more spaced out.
Regulation 3
The size of the ball can be a regulation for example a size 4 ball is
used for younger players and a size 5 ball is what adults use to
play. This is important so the ball is easier to catch.
Scoring System
The ball gets passed down the court by a number of players
and is passed to either the Goal Attack (GA) or Goal Shoot
(GS) they can then throw the ball through the net and score
1 point every time the ball goes through. After it has gone
through it is then taken back to the centre for a centre pass.
