Irene Van Dyk is a very good
player and does a lot for the
Silver ferns. I believe that she
would be one of the greatest
players in history as in almost
all of her games she has shot
with a very high average of
around about 90%
*What are the rules to play
netball?*
*Rules*
•
Stepping: You are not allowed to step with the ball. They must always keep their grounded foot
stable.
•
•
Obstruction:
The opposition team to the team with the ball must only defend three feet away. If they go closer
then they will be pulled up by the umpires for obstruction and will have to stand beside, while
they begin to play again.
•
Contact: The opposition team to the players with the ball cannot use physical contact with the
other players.
•
The 3 second rule: You cannot hold the ball longer than three seconds. If you do then you will
have to give the ball to the other team.
•
Throw in: When the ball goes out a player must take the ball, and throw it to a team mate in the
time limit of three seconds.
•
Umpires: There is two umpires in the game and they call you up for any mistakes.
