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.

hope i helped :)

Netball has developed from a seven player game to a five player game. The five player game is called high five and is made for primary school children to play because it is easier. The players of this are centre, goal attack, goal defense, goal shooter and goal keeper

Netball has changed dramatically over the years from skills and fitness to uniforms and rules and also umpiring. In the past Netball has been a steady game where there was only one training for National teams. There was only one coach and a manger...NOw there are more than 2 trainings per week, plus extra personal training in your own time,A Coach, an assistant coach, Physio or team doctor, nutritionist, analyst, and many other roles that assist in the trainings and the development of the team. The speed of the game has changed also, as the play of netball has to keep with the fitness levels of players.

Netball is the result of a miss-communication between a man who devised an indoor game appropriate for "high - spirited" young men at a YMCA and a sports teacher in New Orleans who requested a copy of his rules. The YMCA game was Basketball. When the New Orleans teacher read the diagrams, she mistakenly inferred that the players could not move around on the court but had to stay in position, and that was how she taught the game to her students in 1891. Her version of the game became women's basketball, then evolved into netball. Netball became an official Olympic sport in 1995.
