Netball is a team sport played primarily by women, featuring two teams of seven players each. The game is played on a rectangular court divided into thirds, with a hoop at each end. Players aim to score by shooting a ball through the opponent's hoop, while adhering to specific rules about movement and positioning. Each player has a designated position that defines their role and areas of the court they can enter. The game emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and skill, making it popular in countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Netball is governed by the International Netball Federation.
