What positions ae there in netball?

Answer 1

Players do not usually master all six skills, but rather focus on one or more of them in connection with the tactics employed by each team. The most common specialization comprises three positions: attacker/blocker (also differentiated in "outside" and "middle"), setter and liberos (defensive specialist). Generally, taller players with the ability to jump high are utilized as attackers/blockers, where they attempt to block or spike opponents' initial hits and return the ball at high speed on steep trajectories so that the ball lands before the other team has time to react.

* Setters have the task for orchestrating the offense of the team. They aim for second touch and their main responsibility is to place the ball in the air where the attackers can hit the ball into the opponents' court in the easiest way as possible. They have to be able to operate with the hitters with variety and break up the enemy's block. Setters need to have swift and skilful appraisal and tactical accuracy, and must be quick at moving around the court.

* Liberos are defensive specialists, who are responsible for receiving the attack or serve (the dig) and are usually the players on the court with the quickest reaction time and best passing skills. Liberos do not necessarily need to be tall, as they never play at the net, allowing shorter players with strong passing skills to excel. A player designated as a libero for a match may not play other roles during that match.

* Middle blockers or Middle hitters are players that can perform very fast attacks that usually take place near the setter. They are specialized in blocking, since they must attempt to stop equally fast plays from their opponents and then quickly set up a double block at the sides of the court. In general they are the tallest players, but are often less skillful defensive players.

* Outside hitters, also known as power hitters, attack from near the antennas. Since most sets to the outside are high, the outside hitter may take a longer approach, sometimes even starting from outside the court sideline. An outside hitter generally relies on a powerful swing to score, but some offensive plays may call for an angled approach and/or quick attacks to confound the defense. Outside hitters must also master passing, since they generally help the libero in receiving the opponent's serve. A strong-side hitter is an outside hitter that specializes in attacking from the front-left position. This hitting position is advantageous for a right-handed hitter, because the set will come from the right, and can therefore be delivered efficiently to the hitting arm. Conversely, the attacker in the front-right position is the weak-side hitter. Since the set is coming from his left, a right-handed hitter in the weak-side position will have to swing across his body to attack. Thus, left-handedness can be a desirable quality in a weak-side hitter.
It all depends on what roation your team uses. Many teams today use a 6/2 system, which means there are two setters, three hitters (or spikers), and three passers.

Answer 2

There are two wing players, right and left, one pivot, who plays on the six meter line and three backs, left, right and middle. Middle back organises the game, two other backs are good shooters from distance, wing players are usually the fastest players good for counter attacks and pivot is making blocks and trying to get the ball on the six meter line.

Answer 3

Goaly, Sweeper, Right and Left defense, Stopper, Center mid field, Right and Left mid field, then two Forwards.

This is the answer to a 11 on 11 soccer game (for the big and professional soccer fields).


Goaly, Sweeper, Right and Left defense, Center mid field, Right and Left mid field, then a Forward.

This is the answer to an 8 on 8 soccer game (for the little and small fields).


A goaly is the person in the goal. A sweeper is the last person (farthest person back on the both teams fields besides the goaly). A right and left defender is exactly as it sounds. A stopper is the player in front of the defenders but behind the mid fielders. A center mid fielder is the player in front of all the defenders and the rest is exactly as it sounds. A right and left mid fielder is exactly as it sounds. A Forward is the player farthest up on the field.


If in the definition section a definition is in bold writing then those players are on defense.
If in thedefinition section a definition is in italic writing then those players are on mid field (a sort of defense and offenseposition).
If in the definition section a definition is in regular writing then those player(s) are on offense.
