Footwork and Replaying

The footwork rule explained

What the rule book says:

A player can receive the ball:

  1. With both feet grounded or jump to catch the ball and land on two feet simultaneously. You may then take a step in any direction with one foot (but not both) and pivot on the spot with the other foot. Once one foot is moved, the other is considered to be the landing foot.
  2. With one foot grounded or jump to catch the ball and land on one foot. The landing foot cannot be moved, other than to pivot on the spot, whilst the other foot can be moved in any direction. Once the landing foot is lifted, it must not be re-grounded until the ball is released.


Hopping or dragging the landing foot is not allowed.

If you break the footwork rule, a free pass will be awarded to the opposing team

Note: Your landing foot is considered to be the first foot in which you land and can be lifted but not replanted whilst you have possession of the ball. Your other foot may move any number of times in any direction - but taking into account the 3 second rule. You may take a step in any direction, lifting your landing foot and balancing on your other leg. Footwork will be penalised if you re-plant your foot before releasing the ball during a pass or shot.

More from the rule book:

Footwork in the centre circle

The footwork rule still applies in the centre circle. As soon as the Centre steps into the circle, their leading leg becomes their landing foot and the footwork rule then applies. That is, if they lift or move their landing foot and place it back down again, a free pass will be awarded to the opposing team due to footwork.

Net 10 for life

14/4/2015

We were thrilled to get involved with England Netballs 'Net 10 for Life' initiative throughout January and February!
One of our members spotted an article about the initiative and suggested that we got involved, everyone else was quick to agree and soon everyone was donating 10p for every goal scored during our Wednesday training sessions. 
The official Net 10 for Life initiative encourages clubs to donate 10p for every goal scored at each of their fixtures throughout January . Inspired by the idea but lacking affiliation to any leagues we decided to create our own version of fund raising success! 
Members kindly donated 10 pence each for every goal that was netted during our 6 training sessions in January and February. We were delighted to raise £100 for Cancer Research UK and decided to invite local charity representatives Ian Mackie and Cristina Walsh to come along to one of our training sessions to be presented with a cheque.

SNAP is about Fun, Fitness and now Fundraising too!
