Speech About Netball!

I’m going to talk about Netball. Netball is not well known in Japan but it’s a one the of famous sports in New Zealand. The game is a little bit complicated so I’ll explain briefly. Netball is very similar to the basketball. The decisive difference is that Netball doesn’t dribble the ball so in that way it is similar to handball too. The game plays with 7 people and there are 6 positions. The players have their own roles and they can move the places that be decided by the rule. Therefore only Goal Shooter and Goal Attack can shoot the ball. The players can’t have ball more than 3 seconds and also players can’t touch a player who has the ball in that moment. The way to get the points is just same as the basketball.

A representative Netball player’s team of NZ is Silver Ferns. They won the 1st place in Netball World Championships 4 times. Also in the Commonwealth Games they won 1st place in 2006. This game is basically for women so the team is made up of all women and a very strong team in the NZ.
