(April 2007) A netball game in Australia Netball is a non-contact sport similar to, and derived from, basketball . It is usually known as a women's sport. citation needed It was originally known in its country of origin, the United States , as "women's basketball". Invented in 1895 by Clara Gregory Baer , a pioneer in women's sport, it is now the pre-eminent women's team sport (both as a spectator and participant sport) in Australia and New Zealand and is popular in the West Indies Sri Lanka , and the United Kingdom Netball traces its roots to basketball . Basketball was devised in 1891 by James Naismith for his students in the School for Christian Workers (later called the YMCA ). Female teachers got curious and started to formulate a version for girls. The outfits of women at this time hindered them from effectively executing important basketball moves such as running and dribbling, so the game had to be modified to accommodate these restrictions. Womenâs basketball, or ânetball,â was thus born.

Contact Us WHAT'S NEW?Â (Website best viewed in IE) ECNC East vs ECNC West Fill out a survey to help us determine whether or not Emerald City Netball Club should have East and West teams. The subject of splitting the club into two sister clubs was raised in the survey following the 2007 Spring Season. It was raised again at the Annual General Meeting due to members not fully understanding the concept behind the idea. The club currently has approximately 50 members with an estimated 60/40 split between the East and West sides. To ensure that ALL members of the club receive equal benefits and opportunities it has been suggested that we have an Eastside team and a Westside team within our overall club structure, i.e. there would still be one committee looking after the interests of all teams under the ECNC name. By splitting the club this would hopefully provide members an opportunity to train in a location that is better suited to their situation. All teams would meet on a Saturday during the season and play a round robin structure like we did in the 2007 Spring Season. Traveling teams would consist of players from both East and West side teams.

Extractions: Origins of the Great Girlie Game The Basics My Netballing Life The Tidewater Stars ... Links Netball derived from basketball and in fact it used to be called women's basketball when I was a pup. Apparently it resulted from some confusion when the rules of the new game of basketball was imported into Britain in the late . It was then developed as a more lady-like version suitable for English school girls via strict non-contact rules and limitations on the amount of movement around the court. This therefore minimised the exertion the 'gels' were exposed to and also of course minimised their perspiration...er I mean their "glow". Things have changed a little since then. Although players are still only allowed to take one step with the ball and the court limitations on each position remain, the game is now high paced, extremely energetic and, judging by the amount of times I fall down on court, far from lady-like! Its a great game and is now apparently the number 2 participant sport in Australia (after golf). Its the number one women's sport in the world and now even the guys are getting into the act. As you can see, netball is played with seven players on each team on a court that is divided into three sections, plus two goal circles and a centre circle.

Special Olympics Great Britain athlete Paula Sage was as excited by the news that she and her fellow netball team members had qualified for those Games as she was celebrating her starring role in the movie AfterLife at its London premiere on Wednesday, 11 August 2004. Sage's team placed second at the Games. "I love my netball," she said. "I would have liked the gold, although silver is good too. It was awesome." [Photo courtesy Special Olympics Great Britain] Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing and catching. It evolved as a result of a misinterpretation of the rules of basketball. Netball teams may include up to 12 players, but only seven may take the court at any one time. Each player has a playing position determined by the areas on the court where they may move. The playing positions are shown by identification letters worn above the waist, on both the front and the back of the player. The object of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within an area called the Goal Circle; only two players from each team, the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter, may score goals. The game is a popular participatory and spectator sport in many British Commonwealth countries. Netball can be played either indoors or outdoors on the appropriate courts.

Extractions: What Is Netball? Netball is a particularly fast and highly skilled sport. It was created by an American basketball coach attempting to improve the skills of Basketball. He worked at Luton Teachers College in England where he introduced the sport to many of the graduating teachers. These teachers gained positions in schools all over England bringing this new and exciting game with them. Some of these teachers travelled the world teaching Netball in other countries. Netball is now played predominantly by women in 25 countries throughout the world, particularly in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. So how do you play Netball? There are seven players on each team and the aim of the game is to get the ball in the opposing goal hoop as many times as possible throughout a 60 minute match. The netball court is 100 ft long by 50 ft wide, approximately the size of a tennis court. The court is split by two lines that divide the court into thirds. At both ends of the court there is a shooting semicircle and a ten ft goal post with no back board. Each team member has a specific position that is restricted to an area on the court. These restricted areas have an attacking and defending player in them, each from an opposing team. Some of the main rules are What Is Netball Netball History Committee How To Play ... Links

Advertiser Sport is Good Privacy About Us Save page Sport - Netball After an inauspicious birth in America as "Women's Basketball", Netball has developed into a hugely popular game amongst women, and is rapidly growing in popularity with men. Netball is a team game, played by two teams of seven players. The aim of the game is to score more goals than your opposition. A bit like basketball but not as rough. There's more passing too, because you can't run with the ball. Speed, strategy, team work and co-ordination are essential skills for netball. It's about running, jumping, throwing, catching, attacking, defending, scoring goals and stopping goals. Netball is one of the most popular participation sports in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and South Africa. It is growing in popularity throughout the world.
