Giddy everyone!
I wanted to know if anyone playing netball? Involved deaf/ hearing team/s? Which position? Have you involved comp with other states or countries?

Many in other country don't know what is netball?! "Netball is a non-contact generally indoor sport similar to, and derived from, basketball. It is usually known as a women's sport. It was originally known in its country of origin, the United States, as "women's basketball". Invented in 1895 by Clara Gregory Baer, a pioneer in women's sport, netball is now the pre-eminent women's team sport (both as a spectator and participant sport) in Australia and New Zealand and is popular in the West Indies, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom. Over 20 million people play netball in more than 70 countries." Ref Netball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have been playing netball for 12 years. My position is Goal shooter, Wing Attack and Wing Defects. I never have been involved with deaf netball or against other states/ countries....

Cheers,

ohh shame, in America don't have netball because they never heard or play.... You can check out netball from Youtube. Netball is similar to basketball but both sport is fun. Netball can be a raw sport - almost like cat fight.....

YouTube - Australia - 2007 Netball World Champions

YouTube - Netball Extra Time Australia v New Zealand 21 July 2007

Yep, similar to handball and basketball. Dribble can use for passing to a teammate (not run and dribble at the same time). It's little hard to describe to understand about rules. If you watching a game and you will learning to understand about netball rules.

I used to play netball in high school against other high schools every Saturday during winter time. The position I used to play is Goal Attack, Goal Shoot, Wing Attack and Wing Defence. I did try Centre once but it was too much for me to run up and down of the court.

Last time I played netball for fun 4 years ago. One Deaf person who runs a Deaf netball team in another area suggested I should play for Deaf netball team. I didn't take that offer due to that I live too far away from the area.

Ditto - I used to play netball at school against other schools in England. There're no netball here in Germany but handballs. I had been tried handball and don't like it.

Badminton is my favorite games if I want to play with others.

yea Handball got few mix sports in one

Soccer--almost same as ball but size is 3 and goal post
Hockey--almost same as ice rink size
Basketball--alot of running and can dribbling (limited 3 times while running)
Hockey/Football--alot of physical
Soccer/Hockey--have goalie on it

I always enjoy to play with Handball when Deaflympics' Handball Team are in DC for tryout and/or clinic and I played with them, I sometime played with Deaflympics team if players arent enough or no show then I will take over their place...

I am looking forward to watch full game of Handball Olympics on streaming live TV on internet :D

Wow, heap information about handball!! There so much to learning!! :-D
I would love to tryout at DC but I'm stuck into one big island mass in Australia (i know it's USA team only...). One sport is enough for me because I'm studying at the university (Swinburne University know as Swinburne National School of Design in Melbourne, Australia) and I don't have a time for lifestyle. :-(
