It can happen in many different ways, including making gestures or movements and blocking a player’s line of sight.
Throw-in rule
Official netball rules have a throw-in rule that describes how a player can start a play by intentionally throwing the ball. The throw-in is awarded to the player who lands on the court or within six inches from the ball's last touch. The player has three seconds for the ball to be returned into play.

Replay ball
The official rules of netball have a tricky rule called the "replay ball." This happens when a player touches or touches the ball but has not lost full possession. When this happens, the player can only return to possession of the ball by passing it. The ball must not be held for more that three seconds. The umpire must make sure that all players are moving during this time.

Additionally, a player is considered to have crossed transverse lines. Simultaneous infringements result in a toss up.
Goal Defense

All players must start in the attacking goals third, even the goal defense players. Before a player can regain possession of the ball, he must touch it.
