Why is balance important in netball?

Answer 1

Balance is important in a game of Netball for many reasons;

• You need it to keep a stable posture to ensure that you do not do footwork
• When you are defending it is good because it is closely linked to agility and you must be balanced before you change direction at speed
• When shooting to keep still
• If you end up on one foot and have to pass

these are just a few, hope they help!:)

Answer 2

They need balance because when they catch the ball they are only allowed to take two steps after they land otherwise it is a foal. They also need to have balance because of when they pivot they have to keep one foot on the ground.

Answer 3

Because if you catch a ball that you have had to jump for and then you have to do footwork when you land, you need to be balanced otherwise you will mess up your footwork and it will then be a free pass to the opponents.

Answer 4

Netballers without balance are like fish without fins. Fish are boring enough to watch, imagine them fin-less and hobbling around on the bottom of the fish tank. Not a very interesting or productive way of living. Same goes for netballers, just laying there on the court, that assumes their lack of balance can actually get them to the court in the first place... of course if you mean why do netball player need balance equivalent or better than the average person, then thats a different discussion all together.
