When the game was invented by Dr. James Naismith a peach basket was originally used. A hoop or net wasn't added until much later. This allowed for a much quicker pace similar to what we watch/play today. After each basket was made, the game would stop so that the ball could be removed from the basket.
Netball came from basketball so was originally called basketball but over the years the name has changed just like the rules!
Netball was invented because basketball was a man's sports and woemn couldn't play because they became 'sweaty'. So they invented netball to combat this. Women didn't move with the ball therefore not running around and not becoming sweaty. They didn't imagine that it would take off quite so much and become one of the worlds most recognised sports.
In netball, the centre is allowed all over the court exceot in either goal circle.

Netball was originally derived from basketball and was first known as "women's basketball". It originally just included basic rules and the separate zones and more rules have been added and standardized over time. Most countries that are involved in netball standardize their rules every 4 years to keep up to date with the latest trends.
No...It would bounce all over the place...

There was a man who had to keep his students physically active and so invented a sport, consisting of five players on a team. It was played with a ball and hoop to score points. This is where basketball originated from. The sport traveled and soon became popular over time. Woman actually did not prefer the rules (not wanting to run with the ball) that were set and so took the sport to create their own wanted version. And so, netball was born...
