Netball has changed very much over the years. a couple of changes are;
- the women's outfits. when netball first started, the women's outfits restricted them from carrying out certain moves. they couldn't run or dribble in the outfits so that is partly the reason they changed the rules to no running in possesion of the ball.
- the net. the first time netball was played (at Madame Osterburg's College in 1895), they used baskets for shooting. when a ball was thrown into the basket, the umpire had to go and receive the ball because there wasn't a hole in the bottom. nowadays, the net is on a pole and has a hole in the bottom.
