Netball is similar to basketball but:
no running with the ball
no backboard
all goals are worth one point
less contact (officially ... HA!)
generallly played by women
main countries are Australia, New Zealand, England and Jamaica.

It reminds me of the way my mom said they made the girls play basketball when she was in school. Shots were underhand (both hands, through your legs and up) and I'm not sure if there was dribbling or running.

Ugh. How can you get the ball and not go somewhere with it? And that girl needs to work on her follow-through on her shot.

I prefer to watch women play basketball (rather than watching men's b-ball) because there is less run and gun and dunking and more setting up actual plays. For men, if all they can do is jump and dunk and generally hot-dog, then perhaps raise the basket a couple feet.

:swish:

Oh, then there's baseketball!

Clearly - combat is all about sex. Or is it the other way around?

That would be for the daisy chain of command to determine.

Wow, it looks like once the offensive player gets the ball, the defender can't take a step, either.
