Similar to basketball, but played with a soccer ball... Each team has seven players on the court each with a specific position and area of the court, wind attack, wing defense, goal attack, goal defense and so on... The ball is passed between teammates down the court to the goal, while in possession of the ball you cannot move your feet. The goals are metal hoops at either end of the court, unlike basketball there is no backboard. They rotate positions at the end of each quarter and each child gets to play at least two quarters. They wear bibs with an abbreviation for their position displayed, to help in the organized chaos.
Charlotte's mom, Sacha, coaches the team and does a great job. Their games are every Monday night a big sports center here in town. Mondays are always busy for us, after Netball we rush home to get ready for Girl Guiding at 6:00. Here are a few pictures from the most recent game. North East Valley is the team in blue and gold shirts.
