5-a-side

The basic idea is the same as regular netball: get the ball through the hoop! Many of the rules are the same as regular netball: obstruction, contact, travelling, offside, replayed ball, etc.

However, there are a number of fundamental difference such as: There are only 5 players on court for each team – GS, GA, C, GD, GK, players rotate positions each time their team scores a goal. It’s played indoors on a half-sized basketball court and the basketball hoop is used to score – yes, you can use the backboard!
