- All the rest of the rules, even though they make up 90% of the rule book are called the minor rules because they are only penalised with a free pass, which means no player has to stand out of play while the penalty is taken, and this penalty is taken from where the infringement occurred. The minor rules include,
stepping
held ball
over-a-third
short pass just to mention a few of the more common ones.
In Netball, the ball, having been caught or held, must be released within 3 seconds. This is the rule of held ball. When the ball is thrown, it must be caught or touched in each third of the court by a player who is standing or who lands in the correct third. This is the over-a-third rule. When a ball is thrown between team mates, there must be enough room on the court, between the hands of the thrower and those of the receiver for a third player to move between. This rule is the short pass rule.
Fast, precise and clever footwork is the basis of the game and there are many variations possible which are legal under the rules. Basically, the principle of the footwork rule is, that once the ball is caught, the first landed foot may not be lifted and re-grounded before the ball is released or the player will be considered to have stepped. Therefore, a player who catches the ball in the air may, land on one foot, keep moving and land on the second but must release the ball before the first foot is back on the ground. Pivoting is possible, as is both one and two feet landings.
