The Netball sport is mostly played in Australia and New Zealand. However, it was started in the Untied States and was called women's basketball. It was called this because it was much like basketball, but it was played by mostly women at the time. However, ever since it came about places all over the world have been playing in this sport as well. This is just like basketball in the fact that it is a non contact sport unlike football. The Netball sport is a lot of fun to play if you like basketball, but you can definitely see the differences. However, the biggest difference is in the goal and the court. Some of the rules are different as well, but you would have to look through all of them to find out how to play the right way. Unlike basketball the court is divided up into three sections. Different people are suppose to be in the different sections. If you leave your section then it would be called off sides. Of course, the Netball sport is fun to watch, but most people would rather play it. After all, it is a little bit different from basketball. However, if you do like basketball then this is going to be a game for you as well. After all, not only women play it. In fact, many men play this game as well. In high schools they usually have about a week or so where they play this with all the kids in gym class. However, this depends on where you go to school. Now-a-days in the United States women's basketball is just the same as mens basketball so the Netball sport is not played much anymore. Of course, some people still play it for fun.

Now when you are playing the Netball sport you are going to notice one thing right away. That the goal that you have to get the ball through is up higher and is a smaller hole that you have to get the ball in. This makes it a lot harder to score from shooting so far away. In fact, when you see people scoring in the Netball sport you can see a group of people all under the goal. This is because it is easier to score if you are up close, and you throw it almost straight up in the air. Because the hole is a lot smaller it makes it hard to shoot from far away. This is one reason why it was called women's basketball. Many men did not want to play the netball sport because it was hard to really focus on shooting. There was a lot more to the game. Also, you will see that since the goal is up higher, it would be a lot harder to slam it in. In basketball a lot of guys can jump in the air and put it in like that. However, because the Netball sport goal is a lot higher it would be a lot harder to do that.

Now if you have never tried this sport it could be fun to give it a try. Also, if you are a guy playing basketball with a lot of girls and they do not want to play. Ask them if they would rather play the netball sport. By doing this it makes everyone have a better shot at winning the game. Of course, you may not want to let your friends see you playing because they may make fun of you. This is not a game that all the cool kids play if you know what I mean. The netball sport is still fun to watch and even more fun to play. I wish that it would of caught on in the United States as it did all over the world. However, if you want to bring this sport back then you are going to have to try and play it. Of course, keep in mind you are going to have to brush up on the rules of how to play. They are a little bit different from basketball, and you are going to have to tell people how to play. If you can do that, then you may just bring back the netball sport.
