Netball.
Netball is a great sport but do you know how to play it?? Here read
this
There are two rules I always get mixed up with, that’s stand down and stepping, for some reason stand down is the worst for me because I’m so used to just jumping up in there face in basketball, and snatching the ball off them. That gets taken back to netball. Stand down in netball is when you're too close to the opponent with the ball once the referee says “Stand down” then you have to stand next to the person that had the netball until they pass the ball. But you can't do anything otherwise you would be called stand down again. The other one is stepping, stepping is pretty easy to do without even knowing that you did it. If you jump or walk with the ball you will be called to be “stepping” this means this is automatically the other team's ball.
I think everybody knows how to pass but do you know what kinds of passing. Let me tell you a couple of them. The very first one I have known all my life the normal pass I think you know the normal pass too so let's skip that. Uh the next one is bounce passing, this is when you pass but you're passing the ground, so it bounces to your partner. But make the ball bounce a quarter away from their feet. If you are by the goal and you're wanting to pass that is a great time to pass so then you can get the goal.
Time for the positions, there are three positions in the year 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Those positions are attack,defence,and center. Let me tell you about attack first. Attack means that your only allowed in the center and your goal area/quarters, your job is to shoot the ball into your hoop so you get goals!! If you go to the opponent's side and your attack then its automatically there ball from offside. The next position is defence. Defence is like attack but your not allowed in your goal quarter, your allowed in the middle and the opponent’s side but not yours. You have to try to whack the ball or catch the ball when the other team passes to there partner. And last but not least center. Center is allowed to go everywhere except the semi circles by the hoops. Your job is to go in the middle if the other teams scores a goal. There's a circle in the center of the court you go there to pass the ball when the ref or umpire wheels the whistle. Then you pass. If you score you either defend the center or go on the side with the other centers. In each team there is always two attacks,defence and center in every game so you always get to move around with the positions.
So everybody knows that there is half’s in basketball but not in netball!! There is 4 quarters in netball 10 minutes of netball then a quick 20 to 30 second break then back on. In total we play for 40 minutes. Not including the breaks.after that we get the player of the day and some treats for participating. Last Saturday I got the player of the day. And a long chocolate bar.
REFLECTION: this was hard very hard to explain and to make it interesting at the same time but in the end i got it right
