Offside rule
A violation of netball rules, which prevents a player crossing the line of play, is called offside. Infringement occurs when an opponent is in front of the last defending player, when the ball moves forward. It can be done in many ways.
Throw-in rule
Official netball rules include the throw-in rule. This describes how a person can initiate a play by throwing the ball. To be granted the throw-in, the player must touch the ball within six inches of its last touch. The ball is then returned to play and the player has three seconds to do so.
Footwork rule
Footwork, an essential part in the game, can be one the most difficult skills you will learn. Footwork refers the actions players must take when they have possession of the ball. One of these actions is pivoting, which allows the player to change direction while keeping one foot firmly planted on the ground.
Traveling
Traveling is a violation of the rules of netball. Although the Netball Festival Insurance Program is limited to a minimal level of coverage, it is highly recommended that all participants assess their individual needs before taking out insurance.
Replay ball
The "replay rule" is a tricky rule in netball. It occurs when a netball player touches the ball after he or she has lost complete possession. A player cannot return possession of the ball if this happens. However, the ball may not be held by a player for more than three seconds. During this time, an umpire must make certain that the players are still in motion.
Goal shooter
The official netball rules specify the role of Goal shooter. This is the person who shoots the ball. The shooting circle must be completely within the shooter's reach. He is offside if he moves out of the zone. In addition, he is deemed to have crossed the transverse lines. Toss up for simultaneous infringement
Goal Defence
A number of guidelines are included in the netball rules of goal defense. First, players must start in the attacking and defensive goal thirds of the court. All players must begin in the attacking goal three, even goal defense players. Before a player can regain possession of the ball, he must touch it.
Penalty pass given to opposing team
Penalty passes to opposing teams are an integral part of netball games. These are determined by the umpires. All players can take penalty passes. A penalty pass requires that players remain within the designated area for the free pass to be taken and must adhere to netball rules. You must not run with the ball or dribble with it.
