Rule-making
The objective of a netball team is to score more goals than the opposition. A goal is scored through a successful shot into the opponents hoop. The team which scores the most goals wins the match! Games are split into 4 quarters, each lasting 15 minutes. Netball is played on a court (either hard or soft) which is 30.5 metres in length and 15.25 metres wide. There is a post at either end of the court, with a hoop positioned 3.05 metres off the ground. The court is split into areas, with players only being permitted to enter particular zones depending on their position. The 'netball' itself is similar to a 'basketball', however typically they are white and weigh considerably less.
