3 feet/
Basically, all you have to do, is stand on the side of them (far enough away that they will think you wont be able to intercept), but just as the ball comes, jump sideways and forwards and catch the ball!
you can't move with the ball in your hand and i think you have to stay one meter away from them
while playing netball and your defending another person, you have to stand three feet away in other terms a metre away.
One of the rules in netball is the obstruction rule. This is where a player is less than a meter away from a player on the other team. However this only applies if the opposing player has the ball. If the umpire calls obstruction then a free pass is taken and the perpetrator has to stand by the player's (the player who is taking the pass) side until they throw the ball. xx
because right away you can tell the slope and y-intercept
to get away from your opponent/the person marking you
The rule is that you have to be able to fit a Defending player between you and the receiver of the pass. That is about 0.9metres or 3 feet
obstruction is when you are not 4 feet away from the person
1 meter
Both are similar in the fact the person who contacts or obstructs is out of play and the opposing team gets a penalty pass. Netball is a non-contact sport, so contact means you are touching the player or the ball while the player has the ball. Obstruction means while defending a player with your arms up, you need to be 3 feet (0.9 metres) away from the player with a ball. If you get called for obstruction you aren't standing 0.9 metres.
good strong chest passes dodging pivoting well good communication with team players (good shooter) getting the ball - defending make quick passes. try to get away from your player when your team has the ball.
Player in defence must stand 4 feet away from the player with the ball. This stops an injury like a ball to the face or a player hitting you whilst getting the ball. Hope this answer is better than 'Use your brains' Odd how a fourteen year old has wrote over a potential adult.
