I just noticed that sometimes some shooters (especially holding shooters eg. Jhaniele Fowler, Romelda Aiken George) hold pretty long before actually shooting, and the umpire doesn't call it.

I tried counting, and sometimes it's definitely over 3 secs. wouldn't it be held ball?

edit: just saw another post mentioning this same issue in this sub about 4 months ago (go and take a look). I guess I'm not alone🤷🏻‍♀️

I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere I can purchase custom mixed kit without the pesky minimum order of 10 per item? We’re looking to get a uniform made up for my social league team as a team reward (we’re due to be promoted at the end of the current season) and I’m struggling to find somewhere to buy it from. My gut instinct was to go for flyhawk as I love the fit of their pro dresses and they do a good mix of vests and tops (for the ladies on my team who aren’t comfortable in a dress) but they have a minimum order of 10 per each item for anything custom. I could easily do 10+ dresses but I would only need about 3-4 tops and don’t want to waste everyone’s money on 7 tops that will never see outside the spare kit bag. Is there anywhere I can get a mix of dresses and tops with a custom design on or is this a case of us just picking a colour and getting a mix and match Gilbert kit? Any advice greatly appreciated 🥰

My feet are messed up and do this to all my shoes and insoles. I constantly get blisters on the balls of my feet because they cause so much friction. Ive seen a podiatrist and they said its just the mechanics of my feet.

Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any solutions? Any shoe or insole recommendations? These gel ones for sport never last me very long.

Hi! I’ll be visiting Aus next year on holiday and I’m keen to watch an SSN match! But finding tickets and fixtures is proving to be a nightmare! Does anyone know how it works and when fixtures will be released and tickets go on sale? I know the NSL tickets are on sale next week I think, so I was wondering if it was a similar situation? Thank you so much!

i'm a new captain of a team at my university. would love to have any input that could help. want some ideas to make trainings fun and not have to do the same drills every time.

Hello,

I want to make bingo cards for the upcoming constellation cup. Im looking for phrases the commentators use a lot or things on court that are likely to happen. Any ideas 😁

What are they actually looking for? If get coachability/fundamental skills etc but what happens in the lead up to the final trials?
Daughter did 11s development at one association and then trialled and was selected for a stronger association 12s squad (known for its loyalty to its players) 20 girls made it(NSW)
She has 6 squad trainings with her coaches, apparently the selectors are watching and then form there they do a final selection and 9-11 get picked.
How much of a say do the coaches get and what are the selectors looking for? How many of each position are they looking for? Knowing they stick with their OG girls what will my daughter need to do. She wants to make is ever so desperately

Hiya!

I play for a “fun” league where it’s not super serious, but I want to do well.

I play GK and I think I’m fairly decent as have gotten POTM a couple of times. But we always sub in for each other etc so it’s a lovely vibe.

The team I am up against next week, their GS always goes really far out. How do I defend this? do I stick to her and stop her from coming into the D, but then she will just throw to GA who is closer to the goal. Or do I basically defend the edge of the D to stop her getting in that way? Take into consideration our GD has only played once and is very nervous so doesn’t really know what she’s doing and I’ve only met her once so I don't want to start giving orders! Should I tell her to stick like glue to GA?

Thank you! X

Hi. Im 32 and im looking to join a sports team in auckland. Im interested in playing netball, squash, badminton or tennis. Im slowly getting into fitness and want to be able to have fun while losing weight and make friends along the way. Training alone at the gym is becoming a little boring and i find working out in a group is much more fun and effective. Any recommendations would be great.

Looking for advice on keeping your focus and motivation.
Feeling like I am the sole limiting factor in the games (Attacking Position). I do note my other players are also equally struggling. Social anxiety also doesnt help this.

I am still focused on getting better, it is the reason why I returned to netball. But boy am I always anxious about what my teammates think. Just wanted to see if anybody has a tip to brush this off

Hi, I’ve always been a defender and absoulotlety love it. I’m ussaly GD but I sometimes play WD or GK. The one thing I’ve alwya struggled with is drills to do outise of traing since it’s only me. I have a post but don’t really use it because Im not a shooter, so I need some defensive drills that can be for 1 person, a ball and a wall. I’m also not the greatest at jumping to block shots so anything to improve that would also be appreciated (my timing is really bad!). Thank you!!

As the title suggests! I play a mix of GK/WD as we sometimes sub in for other teams.

I am a UK size 7, slightly collapsed arches and generally just like a little bit of ankle support. For content I do a lot of jumping and generally flying through the air haha hence the support!

Thanks gang x

I’ve recently gone from GS to GA in a social netball league. I used to be quite good and consistent when shooting, but I’m finding that when it comes to the game and I’ve tired myself out a bit, I’m not so good when it comes to shooting. How do people remain consistent when shooting later in the game? I feel like the ball feels totally different by then!

TIA

Latest card set ive picked up, thought someone here might enjoy seeing it.

hi everyone, I play in a social netball league and it’s the first time I’ve played netball. I’m a guy and tallish (6”0) so GK has become my position. I feel like I’ve been doing well, I get most rebounds, stop lots of passes and get intercepts it’s so fun. Usually I verse girls shorter then me or guys about my height and can stop people taller then me fairly easily, but at our game tonight the other teams GA was at least 6”5 with a wingspan that was probably longer. They would throw the ball up next to the hoop and he’d catch it and literally jump and drop it in. It did make it harder having to rush from their GS to the GA as he ran into the circle, and I can’t swap with our GD as she is our best player. anyway, By the end of the game I resorted to playing dirty and got some stops but I was lucky not to get called for a few things. The rest of my team played great and we won, but I was definitely outplayed. Was curious as to whether their is any strategies or tips for versing someone with such a height advantage or if it’s best to play dirty and pray. Thank you!

Since the Aussie netball league is still being described as the “Super Netball League” but no replacement for Suncorp has been announced, does anyone think that they will keep the Super Shot (it makes the game a lot more interesting) but without a partner?

It would be disappoiting without a partner, someone to support “The Confident Girls Foundation“ or another worthy netball organisation but I do hope they keep the super shot.

This is shaping up to be a huge trade period for Super Netball and it seems there are lots of players moving clubs which will make for an exciting 2027 season! There’s some players confirmed and lots of rumours at this stage. Keen to hear everyone’s thoughts!

Has anyone bought these - I like the idea but are they as ugly up close as they look in pictures, because 🤢
