Task 2:
Team sport
The basic rules and regulations for netball are:

1) Footwork- Your not allowed to move your landing foot in anyway whilst holding the ball. Your landing foot is the foot that first made contact with the floor when you recieved the ball. You can move your other foot anywhere you like aslong as your landing foot stays firm on the ground. If this rule is broken the umpire will usually call it 'stepping' or 'foot fault' and award a free pass to the other team.

2) Contact- Netball is a non-contact sport therefore players are not allowed to make any physical contact with one another on court. This includes that your not allowed to hit the ball out of a players hands. If this rule is broken a penalty pass is awarded to the opponents.

3) Obstruction- Defenders have to stand 3ft away from the player when marking the ball. From this distance the defender can try and win the ball back but only by intercepting the pass or shoot once the ball has been thrown into the air. Players can mark a member of the other team even if they don't have the ball, the player can stand as close as possible to their opponent without touching them, and are not allowed to use their arms to mark or block the player from moving. If any of the obstruction rules are broken a penalty pass is awarded.

4) 3 second rule- To keep netball a pacy and competitive game they have a 3 second rule. This meens players only have 3 seconds between catching the ball and making a pass. If this rule is broken the umpire will shout 'held ball' and award a free pass.

5) Centre pass- To start the game off the two teams toss a coin to see who gets first centre pass. The centre stands in the circle in the centre third with the ball ready to pass to pass to a team mate. The rest of the players stand in their starting positions shown in the diagram below. When a goal is scored the game starts off again with a centre pass, the two teams take it in turn throughtout the game to have centre. The ball has to be recieved within the centre third.



6) Offside- Each player is only allowed in certain areas of the court and if they stray out of position then they are offside and a free pass is awarded. A player can still be offside even if they don't have the ball.

7) Shooting- Only the positions goal shooter and goal attack are allowed to shoot. This is because these are the only members of your team who are allowed in the attacking goal circle. The ball must be recieved in the goal circle to be allowed to shoot. If the ball goes up and through the net then a goal is awarded. Also at least two passes also have to be made before a player can have a shot on goal.

8) Passing distance-  When the ball is passed there must be room for a third player between hands of thrower and catcher.

9) Over a third: The ball is not allowed to be thrown over a complete third without being touched or caught by a player within that third.

10) Throw in- When the ball goes out of court a throw in is awarded to the other team. They throw the ball in from the same place as it went out with their feet as close to the line but not touching it otherwise it's a foul throw.

1) Positioning- Players stand on opposite sides of a net and hit the ball back and forth.

2) One Bounce- Each player has a maximum of one bounce after it has been hit by their opponent to return the ball over the net and within the boundaries of the court. If they fail to return the ball their opponent wins a point.

3) Scoring- The points go up in 15,30,40,match point and then you win that game. Theres 6 games in a set and the best to 3 sets is the overall winner.

4) Serving- You must serve from the baseline and the ball must bounce once within the service area, if it doesn't it will be a fault, you get 2 chances to serve before loosing the point.

5) Boundaries- The ball must bounce inside or on the line. Singles play using the inside lines and doubles play using the outside ones.
