Answer: 7

In a game of netball the seven different players each hold a different position.

Answer: Goal attack

Goal attack and goal shooter work together to shoot the netball into the net, while goal keeper and goal defence work together to prevent the opposition from scoring. These four positions are the only ones allowed in the goal circle.
5. What is a netball pitch divided up into?

Answer: Thirds

There are three thirds on the netball pitch, the center third, the attacking third and the defending third. These thirds help to show where certain players can't go.
6. In netball, these four things are FORBIDDEN: Footwork, Contact, Obstruction and Bounce pass.

Answer: False

Although the first three are forbidden, a bounce pass is not and is a good way to confuse your opponents. In the bounce pass the ball is only allowed to bounce once.

Answer: In the centre circle

The centre circle is a small circle in the middle of the court.
8. What happens if you move more than one step with the ball during the game?

Answer: The opposition gains possesion

Moving more than one step with the ball in netball is forbidden so players have to work together as a team to pass the ball around the court avoiding the opposition who are trying to gain possession of the ball.
9. What is the job of the umpire in netball?

Answer: All of these

In a game of netball there is only one umpire who is in charge of all of the game.
10. How close can the opposition mark players from the other team?

Answer: 1 metre

The person marking a player can go as close as 1 metre to them, if they go any closer than it is called obstruction, which is against the rules. If this happens the player who commited obstruction, must stand by the player they obstructed and not mark them until they pass the ball.
