 About Saudi Netball

The Saudi Netball Committee was established in 2021 with the aim of promoting healthy participation and enhancing physical fitness skills among girls. The first netball championship was held at the end of 2021 aboard the MSC cruise and was successful on all fronts. The committee continues to work diligently to develop the game, expand its fan base, and increase the participation of as many girls as possible through various strategies.

 What is Netball?

Netball is a team sport consisting of two teams. It closely resembles basketball, although the rules and equipment are different. There is no dribbling in netball; instead, it relies on passing between players. Running with the ball is prohibited, and each team has seven players on the court. The ball must be passed within 3 seconds, and players are positioned in specific areas on the court.

How to Play

Netball is a sport played by two teams of seven players, usually in an indoor court, with a game duration of 60 minutes. However, different variations have been developed to increase the pace of the game and attract a broader audience. It is played by 20 million people in over 80 countries worldwide and is most popular in Commonwealth countries.

 Points in the Designated Area

The game rules include passing the ball within 3 seconds, and the objective is to score the highest number of points. It is a sport exclusively for girls.
