Netball is a ball game played by two teams of seven players in a rectangular court with goal rings without board.
The object of the game is to score as many points as possible without advancing the ball through dribbling.
A player can hold on to the ball for three seconds before shooting or passing.
Netball is being played in 80 countries and has been played in the Southeast Asian Games.
