Contrary to popular belief, netball is far more than just a girl’s version of basketball. While it’s often dismissed for being a non-contact sport and for having a predominantly female community, there is much more to the game than meets the eye.  

Netball requires both physical agility and mental acuity, where each of the 7 players on court are indispensable to converting a centre pass into a goal. All players on court must stay focused as they carry out attacking movements or defensive plays, while taking care not to incur infringements and maintain possession of the ball. There is also heavy emphasis on accurate passing, positioning and timing—all three elements need to come into play for the players in their respective positions on court to execute seamless coordination, and ultimately score.
