    Just wondering if anyone here plays, or used to play netball, and what you think of the game?

    I help coach my local team, so obviously i'm a bit biased :sweat2:
    as a game it's slowly becoming a contact sport, and has become much faster than it was just 10 years ago. I went to see the final of the National Netball League (Scotland) and it was crazy! it lasted an hour (four 15 minute quarters) and the final score was 56-55. it was incredibly fast.

    I know that a lot of people think netball is boring and out of date, but what's your opinion?

    Well, you have at least one Netball player here!

    Here, netball's becoming a much more respected sport. I play every week (yeah GD Spig :anime:. We're the best!)

    Hell yeah it's becoming a contact sport. Just ask my left hip *ouch* Interschool netball can sure get rough. I used to play for a representative team, but after a couple of years I decided to just stick to school because it took up to much time. But I don't think I'll completley stop for a long, long time!

    It is like a crossbread of rugby and basketball.
    you dont need to dribble and you get to be more aggressive, and you still have the hoops.
