Play the Game - Netball

 
There are seven players per team and two opposing teams. The aim is to 
score in the opposing team’s ring. 
Players are restricted to specific parts of the court.Players in a defending position will try and defend the opponents attacking moves to prevent them scoring any goals.  Players in an attacking position will try to score goals. The ball may be passed between players but players are not permitted to run with the ball or bounce it. When passing the ball the players may either throw it or bounce it to 
another player. But they can not hold onto the ball for more than 3 seconds.
Unlike Basketball, only two players from each team are permitted to score. A goal is scored when the ball is sent through the ring by a goal shooter,  The shooting player must be inside the shooting circle for the goal to count.
