During play, a player with the ball can only take one step before passing it. She must also pass or shoot for goal within three seconds. 

However, goals can only be scored by the assigned shooting players. Netball games are divided into 15-minute quarters - 60 minutes long - at the end of which the team with the most goals scored wins.

Only the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter are able to score goals directly inside of the semicircle. The umpire's whistle signals the goal is scored.

It is the job of the Goal Defence and Goal Keeper to block the Goal Attack and Goal Shooter from shooting and they must be three feet or more away from the landing foot of the shooter. Or else, this is a violation called an obstruction.

A “no goal” occurs if a ball passes through the hoop that has been thrown either outside the circle or by a player other than the two shooters.

If a player completely misses a shot, the player may not catch it. It will be considered a “replay” if she does and a free pass will be awarded to the other team.

A goal will also not be awarded if the ball is deflected off the Goal Keeper or Goal Defence and goes through the goal ring.]]> 2016-11-07 03:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kiarabrown89/bd3z2z1np5qf/wish/135666630 Global Nature of the Sport  kiarabrown89 https://padlet.com/kiarabrown89/bd3z2z1np5qf/wish/135666792 To date, netball is played in over 80 countries by over 20 million people, from as far and wide as Australia & the Pacific, the United Kingdom to Asia, Africa and the Caribbean.

Prior to this project I knew nothing about this sport. I didn't even know this was a sport. I think the most interesting things to learn was about all the positive things the netball association stands for when it comes to uplifting woman and empowering them to be strong healthy and to not fear being an athlete. ]]> 2016-11-29 05:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kiarabrown89/bd3z2z1np5qf/wish/140403519 Significance of the international sport being researched kiarabrown89 https://padlet.com/kiarabrown89/bd3z2z1np5qf/wish/140404408 This was an important sport to do research on considering it is the most popular woman's sport in the world.

Men in this sport is growing, though its predominantly a women's sports. In most countries for men, netball is used for recreational purposes.
