GS (goal shoot) - this person is only allowed in the goal third and in the 'D' their main aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible.
GA (goal attack) - this person is allowed in the goal third and in the centre third, their aim is to get the ball to the GS and get in the 'D' themselves, they also can score as many goals as they wish to and are there to support the GS.
WA (wing attack)- this person is allowed in the centre third and in the goal third but not in the 'D' there job is to get the ball to the GS and GA in the 'D' so that they can score as many goals as possible.

in netball max you are allowed to have 11 people.
netball scores are people who keep track of how many goals each team scores ;)
I think you play consecutive games of netball but with breaks in between each gane of course
depends on what postition and how many hours they work each week
7 for each team.
In netball one team has 7 players so in a full game of netball there are always 14 people on court and usually 2 subs for each team.
A netball game lasts for about an hour. There are four quarters and 15 minutes in each quarter. There is a 3 minute rest in between each quarter too.
A game of netball is controlled by two umpires one on each side of the court.a compier

It is important that each player has a different position in netball is because if each player has the same role, it wont allow them to go into seaperat areas of the netball caourt. You also cant try and score a point in netball because you have to be in the goal ring (semicircle). Hope it helped :)
you play netball on a netball court :)
