Can you shoot with one foot on the base line in netball?

Answer 1

After you catch the ball, whichever foot touches the ground first is called your landing foot; if both feet touch the ground simultaneously, or if both feet are already on the ground when you catch the ball, then you can choose either foot to be the landing foot.

Whichever foot is your landing foot, the other foot can be moved however you like, essentially so long as your landing foot stays in the same spot. Well, almost. To complicate things, you are allowed lift your landing foot off the ground, as long as your other foot remains still once the landing foot is lifted. You must also let go of the ball before your landing foot touches the ground again.

Needless to say, you can't drag your landing foot, nor can you hop, skip or run with the ball. And you have to release the ball within three seconds.

Answer 2

The foot that lands is called a landing foot. If you land on one foot, then you must keep that foot on the ground at all times before throwing it. You can pivot with the other foot, which isn't the landing foot. If you land on two feet at the same time, you can choose between each foot to be a landing foot. Once choosen, you cannot change. If you jump, with two feet off the ground, the ball must be in the air before your landing foot is on the ground again.

Answer 3

You are not allowed to run with the ball in Netball, or very soon you get a very different game. So the simplest way of enforcing this is to ban moving your feet.
