It depends how they were touched, but techniquely Netball is a non-contact sport. However if it was just a small tap or you tripped and bumped into them then the referee normal lets it go. When you are competeing for the ball, most contact gives a free pass to the opposite team. Or if it's a harsh challenge then a foul could be given.

It depends, if neither player has the ball it is usually ignored unless it is obviously done by one player and then they will give the ball to the opposition in the place where the player was contacted. But when someone has the ball and is bumped into by another player, the player who ran into the person holding the ball is made to stand beside the player with the ball so she can take a free pass. Other players from the opposite team can mark the player with the ball but the player who contacted MUST stand beside and wait until her player has released the ball until she is able to move again. The player with the ball may choose to put the ball down and let someone else from her team take it depending on where they are the court.
lots of things can happen...
~ if the two players (from the same team) "think" they both caught the ball at the same time (but on caught it before the other) and the one who did catch it in the first place lets go (leaving the one who didnt catch it left with the ball) then it is classed as a SHORT PASS
~ if they are from oppposite teams and the same as above happens then it is called FIRST POSSESION and the player who actually caught it first gets a free pass (only she may take it)
~ if by chance to players from opposing teams catch it at the same time then they either do a TOSS UP or one rips the ball out of the others hand before the umpire has time to call it.
The ref will toss the ball, whoever gets it first takes it. Three tosses per pair if both players keep catching the ball at the same time, then the two C's get to take the toss/s.
High jumps to retrieve the ball.
High jumps to retrieve the ball.
a netball or a ultra ball
a size 4 ball is used for high 5 netball (which is what younger players play) and a size 5 ball is what is used in 7s netball which is what adults play x
In handball you have goals and in netball you have a net(like in basketball). Balls are different. Netball is mostly(only) played by females.
Football: Rebounds are when football players shoot at the goal, hits the goal frame or keeper and come back out the goal. A player could then take the oppurtunity to shoot again. Netball: Rebounds are when netball players are shooting in the goal. If they miss and the ball misses the ring, they are allowed to catch the ball and have another shot. If the ball hits the ring and then the player catches the ball, then they are not immedietly allowed to shoot again.
You have to stand aside and the other team gets the ball
In netball, if the shooter shoots, misses the hoop and catches it, it will be a replay ball and the ball will be handed over to the other tea.
playing netball is hard you throw the ball to players on your team and try and stop the the other team throwing to there team . when you get the ball to your side (were your shooter is ) you try and get the ball in the hop if you do you get a point when i hour has ran out the team with the most points win
Netball players need power for when they're pasing the ball. If you don't have power and you throw the ball to someone it might not reach that person.
The foot that you land on when you catch the ball is the foot you keep on the ground until the ball is released. the best idea is to jump as you catch the ball to avoid having both feet staying still.
