What is the difference between netball and volleyball?

Answer 1

Netball has 7 players per team: Volleyball has 6 players per team

Netball has an unlimited number of ball passes between team members with attempted intercepts from the opposing team: Volleyball has a maximum of 3 ball contacts by one team before the ball must be hit to the opposing team's side of the net.

Netball allows holding/carrying the ball: Volleyball does not allow a hold or carry of the ball in play.

Netball has the aim of goals (balls thrown through a hoop): Volleyball has the aim of scoring points by returning the ball to the opposing teams side in such as way as to make it difficult for the opposing team to keep the ball in the air or return it.

At least some Netball players from both teams are on all areas of the court: Volleyball teams players access only their half of the court on their side of the net which is strung across the court.

Netball is a much more similar game to Basketball than volleyball, but has no stepping while holding the ball: only one bounce is permitted, unlike the Basketball dribble, restricted player movements depending on the position played, two more players per team, no backboard to the hoop.
