Netballs

Netball is a popular team sport that originated in England in the late 19th century. It is played by two teams of seven players each, with the objective of scoring goals by throwing a ball through a hoop or net located at each end of the court. The game is similar to basketball in some ways, but it has its own unique rules and regulations. The court on which netball is played is rectangular in shape, with dimensions of 30.5 meters in length and 15.25 meters in width. The court is divided into thirds, with each team having a designated area in which they can score goals. The ball used in netball is similar in size and weight to a basketball, but it is made of leather or synthetic material and has a different surface texture. Netball is a fast-paced game that requires a combination of physical fitness, skill, and strategy. Players must be able to move quickly and change direction rapidly, as well as pass and catch the ball accurately. The game also involves a significant amount of jumping and reaching, as players attempt to intercept passes and defend against shots on goal. In addition to its physical benefits, netball is also a popular social activity and a way for people to connect with others who share their interests. It is played at all levels, from amateur to professional, and is a popular sport in many countries around the world.
