Our friends at playversatility.com have now started a number of leagues on various nights at Highbury Grove School. Below are a few basics but for more information please go to playversatility.com

versatility netball is a fantastic game played indoors. The basic idea is the same as netball (get the ball through the ring!) and many of the rules are the same (obstruction, contact, footwork etc) but there are a number of fundamental differences. So...

...how is versatility different to netball?

It's played indoors on a basketball court and the basketball hoop is used to score.

The game is played as two 18 minute halves with a two minute break at half time.

Versatility is played with 5 players on court for each team - GS, GA, C, GD, GK.

Players rotate positions each time their team scores a goal. The GS goes to GA, GA to C, C to GD, GD to GK and GK to GS. The team that has conceded a goal do not rotate.

Substitutes can also be used so that the GK goes to the sub position (off court) and the player who was the sub goes straight into the GS position. No more than 5 subs may be registered for each team (10 players in total).

Substitutes may not be rotated unless a goal is scored or there is an injury. When an injury replacement is made, the replacement player goes to the position of the injured player and remains on court until it is their turn to be substituted naturally.

If a sideline player interferes with play, the opposition is automatically awarded a free throw.

There are no sidelines - the ball can bounce off the walls (although the player that throws the ball is not allowed to receive it until it has touched another player).

The centre pass must be received in the centre third. After this the ball may be thrown the entire length of the court.
