Netball Eastern Tournament

On Wednesday I had the opportunity to record our Netball mixed teams at the Eastern tournament. It was held for the age groups through from year 5 to 8.

While I was at the tournament I got to record our schools games, and the first game I was able to film was the Yr 7&8 B team. Who played against Stonefield's school, and won!! Finding out that they won got us all excited!

I recorded a lot of games on that day, and as the day went on our four  teams were all in the finals. Listening closely to who each team was playing in the finals got us all filled with excitement! The Yr 7&8B team played Glen Taylor and lost, as well as the A team. Although both our Yr 5 and 6 teams came first in their grade.

It was an amazing day!! Watching and filming all the good things that happened on that day. I even caught a all the goals that our yr 5 team had shot in their finals!

Congratulations Point England!! You all did Great!!!!

How to Play Netball

Netball. How do you play it? In Netball there are 7 people on the court. Which are Goal Shoot, Goalkeeper, Goal Defense, Center, Wing Attack, Wing Defense, Goal Attack . Usually in a team you will probably need 9 people . 7 people on a court then 2 subs.

How to pass a ball in Netball : Passing a ball is quite easy. Focusing on the person you are passing it too is also a big deal. In netball you can intercept while the other team is passing. Like in rugby, which is different because its called a cut.

The Rules : In Netball you are not allowed to run with the ball which is called Stepping. Also you're only allowed to hold the ball within three seconds. Defending your partner too, is huge you have to be three feet away, from you opponent.

Netball is very famous and a entertaining game to play. Netball is also a sport that girls only play. Sometimes there are mixed teams too. Its a very popular Sport.

So guys play fair in Netball and it’ll be a Great Game.  

My Expectation for netball this year.

What I am expecting this year for netball is that we will always focus on the ball and NO Stepping with the ball. I have made into the Year 6 team 2 team. It is a great thing that I still have my friends with me.   Netball is what I'm really going to enjoy this year. GOO TEAM 2 ( 10 Flavours) Our team is also coached by Tracey Eramus .
