Summative Assignment- Netball

  1. Bounce Pass: This is when the player with possession of the ball places one foot in front of the other about 3 feet apart, and bends down to a lunge. Using their outside arm, the ball is thrown, bouncing at about two thirds of the way towards their target. This pass is often used in the goal circle by a centre or wing attack on the circle.

Lob: This pass is used when a player wishes to get the ball to a team member, up and over any obstacles in the path of the intended throw. The player receiving the ball stands on their player (behind them), raises their arm to inform the player with possession of the ball that they are ready to take the pass. The ball is thrown high into the air, and this is when the player to receive the ball steps back, reaches up and takes the pass, leaving their opponent behind.

  1. The make up of a netball court:

When the whistle blows, the GA and WA either both lead out towards the centre for the pass, and they might negotiate with each other and decide on a particular tactic to gain the most efficient way of getting the ball down their end quickly. The ideal play is for WA to lead out and get the pass, then passed on to GA. The centre pass must not leave the centre third untouched, or it is an immediate turnover. Players are not to step with the ball or take possession of it for more than three seconds. Defence players are only allowed to raise their arms to defend when they are at least three feet away from their opponent, or obstruction is called and the defending player must stand aside while the other team has a free pass. Netball is strictly a non-contact sport.

  1. There are several ways that a player can break free from an opponent and receive a pass. These are as follows:
Join now!
  • Dodge their opponent
  • Step around and in front of player if possible
  • First fake a lead, then go straight out in the opposite direction
  • Receive a bounce pass out in front or to the side of the player, using outside arm to avoid being picked up for contact
  • Hold their lead then drop back

  1. GS (Goal Shooter) - At a centre pass, GS is to stand within her goal circle with the defending GK. GS is partly responsible for shooting her teams goals, working cooperatively with the GA. GS is not allowed to leave the goal third ...
