NETBALL!! – A sport like no other

Netball!! Aah, mere mention of the sport itself brings back a hoard of memories. Back when i was in school, netball was THE game in our school (and it still is :)).

During primary school, simply watching my fellow seniors playing the sport made me want to do the same, be PART OF IT! Driven by passion for the game, my friends and i started playing netball in sixth grade during our lunch breaks even though we didn’t have netball as part of our extra-curricular activities. ‘Big shots’, as we were then, played a rule free netball game pretending we were pros at it until seventh grade, when we were actually introduced to the game 😛

The joy in being able to play a game of netball at least for a few minutes a day (during my school days) is just unexplainable! Most of our leisure time -let it be free periods or even the little time we have before school commences- were spent on a game of netball even if it’s for an hour or a few minutes.

Netball is a sport played by two teams, seven aside. Each team consists of two shooters, three defenders, a center player and an attacker. The sport is played within a pre-determined time frame and the winning team is obviously the team that scores the most number of goals.
