What is netball.

What is netball.

Netball is a game that all can play but most of the players are girls.Netball is enjoyed by 70 countries by 20 million worldwide.There are seven spots in the game and the court is split into three, England is honoured for inventing Netball in 1895.

It’s almost like basketball but you can’t move with the ball or bounce it.There are seven sports in the game Goalkeeper, Goal shooter, Goal Defence, Goal Attack, Center, Wing Attack,Wing Defence.Goalkeeper stops the other team from getting it in the hoop and can only go in two parts the middle and near the hoop like ⅔ .Goal shooter needs to find space to get the ball and shoot it in the hoop and can only stay in near the hoop and can’t move in to the other side like ⅓ .Goal defence tries to defend the ball and tries to get the ball back from the other and keeps a close eye on their opponent which is GA and the same as GK they can go in ⅓ of the court.Goal Attack help gets the ball down to GS and helps shoot if the miss as well they can go in ⅔ of the court.Center is the one that starts with the ball and can move all around the court but can’t go near the hoops because there’s a semi circle around it. Wing Attack is like GA but like another helper and can only stay in ⅔ of the court.Same as Wing Defence as well it’s just another person helping get back the ball to their team and can only stay on ⅔ of the court. 

The rules are, you can not run/walk with the ball if you get caught by the umpire, the one who calls out the foul and the rules you give it to the other team that’s called stepping.If you hit, push or to close someone that has the ball that’s contact and you would have to stand down which means you have to stand next to the person that has the ball and wait until they pass it. If your team has the balland you try to catch the ball and miss and it went out of the court that the other team’s ball. If you and someone else from the other team are holding the ball you can snatch it off them and pass or the umpire will see who has the ball closest to them. You only get 3 seconds to throw it or you give it to the other team that’s called a hold.

That is the rules of netball. Tell me after this do you know what to play netball?Hope you enjoyed reading and don’t forget to leave a positive comment.

Seaside Story Starters.

Dear Diary, you won’t believe what I saw the other day, this takes place when my  family wanted to go on a beach trip. My mum, dad, siblings and I packed our stuff not knowing what was yet to come. The sun was shining  and there were no clouds in the sky ”Were here” said dad. We all woke up because the drive took such a long time. When we got out of the car the waves were crashing; they almost looked like clouds on the shore and on the side there was a big rock next to a cliff and a big tree hanging over it.My siblings ran off after they put sunscreen on. The water was as clear as glass with a blue tint. Mum and Dad were setting up the tent while I watched my siblings swim and play in the sand when something behind the rock started to move. 

It looked like something got caught in a net.As I walked closer the thing in the net stopped moving. I climbed up on the rock and what I saw was what I thought was a myth. It was a mermaid but a mermaid in a net not the water. I tried to see signs if she was alive.She was.. I found out  that she was alive when I was looking at her tail that was inside the net and then a second later her tail met my face SMACK! “Och” I said and looked up at the mermaid. She was scared and my face hurt. I think it was getting red, but as I thought about how to get her out of the net, because it was all tangled my mum called out to me and my siblings that it was lunch time. I thought if I bring her some water and food maybe she will trust me and I could help her get out and into the water.

So I ran over and got some food and put it in a plastic bag (don’t worry I reused it) I ate my sandwich and had a sip of water and got another out of the cooler (I put it in the recycling bin after that)  and ran as fast as I could.She was fine but She tried to get the net of her tail she did notice that I was there but as I got closer she did but not in a good way. I gave her the food and the water bottle. I knew she wouldn’t take it out of my hand so I left it by her side.Then I looked back at her tail and tried to figure out how to get it out of the net it was to thick to rip it with my bare hands but I tried it anyway, didn’t work so I thought about another way to get her out.I got an idea but the thing I need was sharp and pointy.

 “A KNIFE!” I said I looked at the mermaid and she looked at me while she was eating the food I gave to her. But It was going to be a mission because my mum and dad would NEVER let me take a sharp knife. So my mission was to get a knife from the car without my mum and dad seeing me. I walked like I didn’t know what I was doing. I snuck behind the car. I noticed that the windows were open but it was on the other side of the car so I just wasted 60 seconds from  my mission…Uhh  Yeah. so instead of going to the other side and getting the object that I really need I just opened the door and got it and jogged because I didn’t want to hurt myself. I got there and she looked sea sick..Wait no home sick so I tried to tell her she was going to be ok while I was cutting the net.

“SNAP!” Went the net “It has a rip in it” I said and on I went cutting the net.She saw that I was helping her get free so she calmed down and let me continue with what I was doing.Once She was free she thanked me and brought me to the water I was still surprised that she could talk but the most amazing thing is that I got to be a mermaid for a few minutes it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me! But she told me not to tell anyone… Luckily no one will know right?
