Basic Rules

Rules are a key part of netball, break them and you'll be sorry. The consequence is often a free pass to the other team!










The game starts and finishes on the umpires whistle.
Each game consists of four 15 minute quarters. Teams change ends after each quarter break.
Centre Passes are taken alternatively by the Centre after a goal is scored.
Umpires control the game through umpiring to their right with the court divided across the centre circle. Each umpire controls their half of the court and also controls the whole of the sideline on their side of the court.
The ball is awarded to opposition for throw-in when ball has left the court. Throw-ins take place where the ball left the court with
one foot close to the line.
A goal is one point.

C To take the Centre Pass and to link the defence and the attack


WD To look for interceptions and to prevent the WA from feeding the circle


GD To win the ball and reduce the effectiveness of the GA


GK To work with the GD and to prevent the GS from scoring goals
