Netball is a shooting game, but the question is why is netball is called netball, because in netball your throwing the ball in the net so that's called net and the ball that your playing with is called ball so that is ball Net ball
Netball DOES use a net attached to the goldpost rim. In some Caribbean countries the game is played without it due to vandalism and low funding for sport. The lack of a net does not hinder the game in any way.
Netball was originally made from the game Basketball and was named "netball" so that ladies could play a different style of basketball.
netball first came around when women felt that it was unfair that they could not play basketball so they adapted the game and made it just for women.
I have no idea why netball is called netball, when there is clearly no net involved, and the same with basketball. Maybe the human race aren't as intelligent as they think they are.
