What is over a third in netball?

Answer 1

'Over a third' is an infringement which occurs when the ball passes completely over a whole third of the court without being touched by another player.

Eg. If a Goal Keeper takes a 'throw in' from the baseline, the ball must be touched by a player in the goal third before it reaches the centre third. This is NOT the case, however, if the throw in is taken from the sideline.

It is this rule that prevents a Goal Keeper throwing directly to a Goal Shooter.

Answer 2

'Over a Third' is what is called.

in netball, when the ball is thrown over a third and untouched by a player, the umpire should blow his or hers whistle and say 'over a third free pass......(the teams club name e.g manly or south side).' if the umpire doesn't and is meant to the game is just a 'play on'.

Answer 3

its "out of court" other team throw in who did touch it last before it went out of court.

Answer 4

it is called a slingball because it slings it off the rim

Answer 5

No, a player can't throw across an entire third. They can only throw to the next third. :)
