Netball basics
Netball is played on a 30.5m × 15.25m court divided into three equal thirds. Each team has 7 players, each restricted to specific zones based on their position. The goal is a horizontal ring (38cm diameter) on a 3.05m post — no backboard. Players cannot run with the ball; they must land on one foot, pivot on that foot, and pass within 3 seconds. Only the Goal Shooter (GS) and Goal Attack (GA) may shoot, and only from within the shooting circle (a 4.9m radius semicircle).

Open toolFrequently asked questions
What are the positions in netball and where can they go?
GS (Goal Shooter): attacking third and shooting circle only. GA (Goal Attack): attacking two-thirds and shooting circle. WA (Wing Attack): attacking two-thirds, not the circle. C (Centre): all three thirds, not the circles. WD (Wing Defence): defensive two-thirds, not the circle. GD (Goal Defence): defensive two-thirds and shooting circle. GK (Goal Keeper): defensive third and shooting circle only. These zone restrictions are fundamental to netball tactics and player development.
What is the footwork rule in netball?
When a player catches the ball, they must land on one foot (the landing foot) or both feet simultaneously. If they land on one foot, they can step with the other foot but cannot move the landing foot until they release the ball — it becomes their pivot foot. If they land on both feet, they can choose which foot to pivot on. Lifting the pivot foot, taking a step with it, or hopping are all footwork infringements. The defending team is awarded a free pass at the point of infringement.
How many calories does netball burn?
Competitive netball burns approximately 400–600 calories per hour for active players. The footwork restrictions and zone limitations mean play is more stop-start than football or basketball, but the explosive movements (jumping for interceptions, sprinting to space) create significant cardiovascular demand. A 60-minute competitive match is equivalent in calorie burn to a moderate-intensity run for most players.
