Netball came from basketball so was originally called basketball but over the years the name has changed just like the rules!
netball started out because basketball was a mens sport and woman couldn't play because they became sweaty.
In England in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College.
The difference between basketball and netball is that in basketball you can take more than 2 steps and dribble up the court, but in netball the most amount of steps you can take is 2 and you are put in certain positions. Another difference is that netball is played in thirds and basketball in halves.
