Please enjoy my essay on netball

My name is Tanisha and I will be talking about netball. I will tell you why I absolutely love netball, all the things I now about netball, the rules that I can explain, all the friends that I made, what it took to get really good at netball, what the netball uniform looks like, what the positions are, famous people that I know and the umpires. I will talk about all of those things in the essay. I also hope you learn alot from this essay.

I absolutely love netball because it was a new sport that was introduced to me when I watching my sister Keely get ready for her netball games. Keely was offered a spot on the schools team. She played for kilbery stars. Now back to why I like netball. I think that netball is a fantastic sport that anyone can. It takes a lot of courage to try something new. I still play but I will be stoping soon. I am really good at all positions but I am the best in Wing Attack because I am really fast. I am also good at Goal Attack and Goal Shooter. The best night I had in Goal Shooter was when I shot seven goals in two quarters. I’ll tell you about my practice.

I might not have played for long, but I now alot of things about netball. Netball can by play indoors or outdoors, it is played by both girls and boys and there are seven positions Goal Shooter, Goal Attack, Goal Keeper, Goal Defence, Wing Attack, Wing defence and Centre. I’ll tell you more about the positions a bit further on. A netball court looks like a basketball court. It has two goal circles which are where you can shoot goals, there is a centre third and the goal third. There are alot of netball teams my hypothesis is at least one hundred or more.

The rules I’ll explain are stepping, contact, obstruction, held ball, toeing the line, touching the pole and off side. Stepping is where you are not allowed to move with the ball in your hands or drag your foot. You can pivot which is where you leave one foot on the ground and with your

    Wnba Sport

    In dissecting this problem, it becomes evident that the demand for this particular sport is an issue. How many people have a desire to watch this sport, and furthermore are willing to pay a price for this entertainment? The WNBA fan base is slowly declining, and as a result, less money is being generated from the public. Spectators have concluded that the growing audience has been hard to come by for the WNBA, which is apparent by the league’s attendance history. With the WNBA falling short of its male counterpart attendance wise, the WNBA has the lower hand of the deal when it comes to ticket pricing. The WNBA is already put at a disadvantage by having half as many seasonal games as the NBA. The average WNBA ticket price is fifteen dollars as opposed to the average NBA ticket being forty-five dollars. When compared with the attendance rate, the women’s basketball league is struggling tremendously. With people already cutting back expenses from the hardships of the recent recession, this has made the opportunity cost for the less popular women’s ticket drop dramatically. Kyle Weidie in, The WNBA is worth it, states his reasoning on low sales and popularity by stating, “Men’s basketball is more athletically entertaining in contrast to general human athletic capabilities,” which would decrease the demand for women’s basketball. Weidie further states, “not to say women’s basketball is not athletically astounding in its own way, just very small in comparison to a pool of the world’s greatest athletes.” With the differences in athleticism and levels of entertainment, the public’s preferred choice has helped contribute to the economic blow within this organization. Here is a quick representation of the recent 2009 national attendance rate and media coverage.…

    For a throw in to occur the ball must go out of bounds on wither sideline on the pitch. To take a throw in both feet must stay on the ground and the person must throw the ball with both hands over their head. Another rule is if the ball goes out of bounds on either team’s goal line a corner kick is taken. A corner kick is taken by placing the ball on the corner, which the ball was closest to when it went out. A player can also tackle a person that has possession of the ball, but the player tackling must come in contact with the ball before hitting the player with the ball. Also if a foul occurs in the penalty box, which is a box that stretches from the goal eighteen yards long and forty-four yards wide there is a penalty kick, which means the ball is placed in a marked spot twelve yards away from the goal. Another rule is a player can be offside if they are behind the other teams last defender, (not including the goalie). Also the ball is placed for the team not receiving the foul where the player was called…

    Court Volleyball

    The positions required for court volleyball are quite different from beach volleyball. Court volleyball requires there to be six people on each side of the court. The players wear knee pads and ankle braces to protect their bones and joints, and they wear tennis shoes for traction and foot protection. Each player has a specific job. There are passers, blockers, hitters, setters, and defensive specialists; generally there is one of each, with an additional hitter, although everyone on the court can play almost any role at a given time. Since there are so many people on the court, there is a higher chance of one of the players touching the ball and keeping it in play than it hitting the floor and becoming a dead ball.…

    The History Of Basketball

    According to Dale Hanson’s book Basketball, the first of these original rules was that the player could throw the ball anywhere with one or both hands; the second rule was that one may hit the ball anywhere with one or both hands. The third rule was that players could not run with the ball, and the fourth rule was that the ball was to be held in between the hands. The fifth of these rules explained that there was to be no fouling, “shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way” (66), and that a second foul could result in the player being banned until another goal was made. The sixth rule expressed that hitting the ball with a fist would result in a foul, and the seventh rule said that three repeated fouls from the same team would result in a point for the opposing team. The eighth rule determined that a point would be scored when a player shot or hit the ball into the goal from the ground. The ninth of these rules stated that after the ball was knocked out-of-bounds, the ball would be thrown in and only played by the player who caught the ball. Rules ten and eleven pertained to the umpire and referee. The umpire had the ability to disqualify players whereas the referee determined whether the ball was in-bounds, decided to which team the ball belonged, and also kept track of the playing time. The twelfth rule expressed how long…

    Also, hockey has maintained its status as the most popular sport in Canada, while encouraging many women to participate. These reasons are believed to be the major factors that contribute to why hockey should be titled Canada’s true national sport. The history of modern hockey goes as far back as the early 1800’s. Many regions have claimed to be the birthplace of hockey, but the best-supported cases are in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and Kingston, Ontario, which hold by far the earliest written accounts of a game that has ever been played. Many assumptions were then made that hockey first originated within these three cities.…

    Softball is a variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field. It was invented in 1887 in Chicago as an indoor game. It was at various times called indoor baseball, mush ball, playground, softbund ball, kitten ball, and, because it was also played by women, ladies' baseball. The name softball was given to the game in 1926. A tournament (1933) at the Chicago World's Fair spurred interest in the game. The Amateur Softball Association of America (founded 1933) governs the game in the United States and sponsors annual sectional and World Series championships. The International Softball Federation regulates rules of play in more than 110 countries, including the United States and Canada. Women's fast-pitch softball became an Olympic sport in 1996, but it (and baseball) was dropped in 2005 from the 2012 games. Despite the name, the ball used is not soft. It is about 12 in. (30 cm) in circumference (sometimes larger for slow-pitch), which is 3 in. (8 cm) larger than a baseball. The infield in softball is smaller than in baseball; each base is 60 ft (18 m) from the next, as opposed to baseball's 90 ft. (27 m). There are two types of softball: in the most common, slow-pitch softball, the ball, sometimes larger than the standard 12 in, must arch on its path to the batter, 10 players make up a team, and bunting and stealing are prohibited; in fast-pitch softball the pitch is fast, there are 9 players on the field at one time, and bunting and stealing are permitted. Softball rules vary somewhat from those o…

    The role of an umpire is to control and be fair throughout the game according to the rules. The umpire has to position themselves where they can see the players, the play and most important the ball. All professional games will have two umpires and the following diagram shows the main parts of the court they cover for umpiring with the umpire blowing the whistle for the centre pass if a goal was just scored in their section.…
