Netball April 04 2017, 0 Comments
Netball is a fast, exciting, true team sport that involves throwing, running, jumping and catching.
Netball may be considered similar to basketball but how similar is a matter worth noting. Some differences are found in the equipment and number of players in the team. Dribbling is not allowed, no running with the ball; 7 players per team; ball must be passed in 3 seconds; ball and basket are slightly smaller; there is no backboard; players are designated to certain areas of the court. Netball also has similarities to European handball, korfball and ultimate frisbee.
Traditionally, in South African schools, netball was the winter sport reserved mainly for girls. While boys played rugby or soccer, the girls tackled netball. Unlike Rugby, Netball is not a contact sport. Players play the ball, strictly, and not the man. But strength and fitness are key, as with most sports that require physical exertion.
Recognition is given in the form of trophies and medals, which are awarded to players and teams alike. Now is the time to think about what your trophies will look like.
Trophies come in many shapes and sizes, traditional and unique. Custom trophies can be designed from the base up, so to speak, in a choice of many different materials. Materials frequently chosen are acrylic (Perspex), aluminium and wood. So don’t confine your thinking to a cup or a statuette if you are looking for something a little different. There is so much more to make netball special this season!
