Emerald City Netball Club

Netball is a fast, skillful team game based on running, jumping, throwing and catching. It is played by two teams each consisting of 7 players — 2 shooters, 2 defenders and 3 center court players. Each player has a playing position which determines the areas of the court that they may access. The positions are identified by bibs worn above the waist on both the front and back of each player. The positions are listed below.
The aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within the Goal Circle; a semi-​circle centered on the goal line and measuring 16ft radius. Only the GS and GA may score goals. Goals are scored through a hoop resembling a basketball hoop but without a backboard. Each goal scores 1 point.
The netball moves up and down the court by catching and throwing it to other team members. Dribbling and moving with the ball are not allowed. Each player may only hold the ball for 3 second at a time before being penalized.
The Club has an ever increasing player base most of which originated from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England, Wales, Ireland and Malaysia. We are actively recruiting new members, particularly trying to involve more Americans and are eager to share netball with anybody and everybody who may be interested.
