Netball Knowledge Organiser . Held Ball – A player is only allowed to hold the ball for 3 seconds. A free pass will be awarded to the opposing team if the ball is held over 3 seconds. Obstruction - A player attempting to intercept or defend the ball must be at least 3ft (0.9m) away from the player with the ball. This distance is measured from the landing foot of the player in possession of the ball. The defender may jump to intercept or defend the ball from this 0.9m (3ft) feet distance but you must ensure if you do jump to defend a ball, you don’t land any nearer that 3ft or this is obstruction (i.e. shortening your distance). A penalty pass will be awarded if you obstruct a player as described above. Contact occurs when a player's actions interfere with an opponent's play whether these are accidental or deliberate Physical contact using any part of the body to limit an opponent's ability to move freely (this includes, but is not limited to, pushing, tripping, holding or leaning on an opponent) Knocking or hitting a player including when shooting for goal Placing hand/s on the ball held by an opponent Hitting the ball held by an opponent or removing it from an opponent's possession While holding the ball, pushing it into an opponent Once the player taking the penalty pass is in the correct position, the player may choose either to play the ball immediately or to wait for the infringer to stand out of play. If the player chooses to play the ball immediately: The infringer may not take part in play until the ball has been released or make any attempt to intercept the penalty pass. Throw in - The ball is thrown back into play from the point where it went off the court. It is out of court when it contacts anything outside the court area (except the goalpost). When taking a throw in, a player places her foot up to but not on the side-line or backline of the court. The lines are part of the court. If any part of your foot is touching the line or you step into the court in the process of taking the throw in, this is deemed to be a foul throw. At least one foot must be within 15cm (6in) of the line though. Over a third - The ball cannot be thrown over a complete third of the court without being touched or caught by a player (i.e. it cannot cross two transverse lines). A free pass shall be taken from the area where the ball crossed the second transverse line (i.e. where the ball shouldn’t have been). Replayed ball - A player may not replay the ball. Specifically you can’t: - lose control of the ball and pick it up again if it has not been touched by another player - - catch a rebound from a shot on goal if the ball has not touched the post or another player - toss the ball into the air and catch it again without it being touched by another player.  Goal Shooter  (GS) To score goals and to work in and around the circle with the GA Goal Attack (GA) To feed and work with GS and to score goals Wing Attack (WA) To feed the circle players giving them shooting opportunities Centre (C) To take the centre pass and to link the defence and the attack Wing Defence (WD) To look for interceptions and prevent the WA from feeding the circle Goal Defence (GD) To win the ball and reduce the effectiveness of the GA Goal Keeper (GK) To work with the GD and to prevent the GA/GS from scoring goals Offside - A player with or without the ball cannot move into an area of the court that is not designated for their position.
