My Sport

My favourite sport is Netball. This Sport is mainly performed by females. When a player receives a pass they are not allowed to run/dribble the ball.
Ø To gain control of the ball, a player can bat/bounce the ball once.
Ø A player has to be standing before they throw the ball
Ø Players have three seconds between catching the ball and making a pass
Ø Having caught the ball, a player may land or stand on:
§ One foot – while the landing foot remains grounded, the second foot may be moved anywhere.
§ Two feet (simultaneously) – once one foot is moved, the other is considered to be the landing foot.
Ø Offside is when a player moves out of their own area.
Ø Balls may not be thrown over two transverse lines without being touched
Ø A ball is out of court when it contacts anything outside the court area. The ball is returned into play by a Throw-In taken from a point outside the line where the ball left the court.
Ø No player may contact an opponent, in such a way that interferes with the play of that opponent.

My prefered Positions are Goal Shooter (GS) or Goal Attack (GA). Both of theses positions include shooting but GA involves more running around.
I began netball in Primary school and i played for the school team. We played alot of Friendly games against other primary schools but we took part in a big tournament between all the primary schools and recieved third place in this tournament.
I then continued to play netball in high school however it was not taken as seriously as it was only a lunch time club.
About 2 years ago i became involved with the Dumbarton Harp womens team. As i was not 18 i could not play in the team however, i was allowed to play with them in friendly games.
This year i have continued to play with them and now that i am 18 i hope to make it into the team and be able to play in competetive games.
