Method For Picking Teams

The teacher picked the teams with the assessment of their skill level, behavior type,
personality, if the student is often absent. The teacher wanted to make the teams as
even as possible by picking the six best athletes in class and separating them first. The
teacher then picked the athletes he thought would be best suited at the game of Netball
due to his assessment throughout the year. After the 12 best athletes in the class had a
team, the teacher put the other students on teams by their personality and whether their
a follower or leader. The teacher also matched those students who are not big into
Physical Education with those students who are. The teacher is happy with the teams
he selected and should be a competitive season. If the games are not competitive, the
teacher has the option of changing some players in order to have the best class
environment. Let the games begin!!!

Rules of Netball (Traditional)

Teams
Teams consist of 5-7 players. There must be at least 5 players.
Substitutions
Substitutions can only be made at half time or when a player is injured.
If you start a match with 5 or 6 players but more members of your team arrive after the
game has started, they must wait until the next centre pass before being allowed to join

the game.
Positions
Goal Shooter To score goals and to work in and around the circle with the GA
Goal Attack

To feed and work with GS and to score goals

29

Wing Attack

To feed the circle players giving them shooting opportunities

Centre

To take the centre pass and to link the defence and the attack

Wing Defence To look for interceptions and prevent the WA from feeding the
circle
Goal Defence To win the ball and reduce the effectiveness of the GA
Goal Keeper To work with the GD and to prevent the GA/GS from scoring
goals

Starting the Game

The first centre pass is decided between the two captains by the toss of a coin. The
centre passes then alternate between the teams, regardless of which team has scored.
Before the whistle, all players must start in the goal thirds except the two Centres. The
Centre with the ball must be wholly within the Centre Circle and must obey the footwork
rule after the whistle has been blown.
The opposing Centre stands anywhere within the Centre Third and is free to move.
A player must not break at the centre pass, which is moving into the Centre third before
the whistle is blown for the Centre pass.
Players must get onside quickly at the centre pass. The Centre with the ball must hurry
back to the centre circle and step straight in. If she waits for her players to get back
onside, this is called delaying play.
A free pass would be awarded to the opposing team in any of these instances above.
Offside Rule
A player with or without the ball cannot move into an area of the court that is not
designated for their position.
This will result in a free pass being awarded to the opposing team.
Obstruction
A player attempting to intercept or defend the ball must be at least 3ft (0.9m) away from
the player with the ball. This distance is measured from the landing foot of the player in
possession of the ball. The defender may jump to intercept or defend the ball from this
0.9m (3ft) feet distance but you must ensure if you do jump to defend a ball, you dont
land any nearer that 3ft or this is obstruction (i.e. shortening your distance).
A penalty pass will be awarded if you obstruct a player as described above.
Contact
THERE IS NO CONTACT IN NETBALL
30

 Free Passes and Penalties

You have 3 seconds from setting the free pass/penalty in which to take it. If you decide
that another player would be better taking it, you must place the ball back on the floor.
Do not walk towards the other player to pass it to them (footwork) or hand it to them
(short pass).
Any opposing player allowed in that area may take the free pass/penalty.
Shooting
Only the GS and GA are able to score goals for your team. They must be wholly inside
the goal circle to shoot.
Throw In
The ball is thrown back into play from the point where it went off the court. It is out of
court when it contacts anything outside the court area (except the goalpost).
When taking a throw in, a player places her foot up to but not on the sideline or backline
of the court. The lines are part of the court. If any part of your foot is touching the line or
you step into the court in the process of taking the throw in, this is deemed to be a foul
throw.
This includes walking on the court to pass the ball to another player if you decide that
they should take the throw in. In this instance, you should leave the ball on the floor
outside the court for the player to then pick up.
You have 3 seconds from when you take up your position at the side of the court in

which to throw the ball.

You must also wait until all players are back on the court before taking the throw in.
If any of the above occurs, a throw in to the opposing team will be awarded.
Over a Third
The ball cannot be thrown over a complete third of the court without being touched or

caught by a player (i.e. it cannot cross two transverse lines).

A free pass shall be taken from the area where the ball crossed the second transverse

line (i.e. where the ball shouldnt have been).

Replayed Ball
A player may not replay the ball. Specifically you cant:
lose control of the ball and pick it up again if it has not been touched by another player
catch a rebound from a shot on goal if the ball has not touched the post or another

player
3. toss the ball into the air and catch it again without it being touched by another player.

No steps allowed once catching the ball
No dribbles
Only 5 positions we are using in the PE version of Netball (Goal Keeper, Goal Defense,
Goal Attack, Goal Shooter, and Centre)
The centre will essentially be a midfielder. We are connecting the centre, wing attack
and wing defense all in one. This position is going to be a team member who is very
active and can keep up with the pace.
There is absolutely no contact involved
Games will last seven minutes
If their is a foul such as a bump or contacted that the umpire and teacher sees then it
remains with the offensive team.
The courts will be smaller due to the space provided.
minimum of 5 passes before a score can happen to ensure that every member of the
32

team is involved.
If a player is disrespectful to the umpire, teacher, teammates, or other team than they
will receive a technical foul which results in a player down for two minutes. A second
technical foul results in that player being thrown out for the game and loss of
sportsmanship points for that individual's team.

Netball Skills Challenge!

The Netball Skills challenge is a huge event in the Sport Ed model where teams
compete for bragging rights! These events are similar to the NBA All Star Weekend.
There are two challenges that our six teams go through. These two challenges are
team challenges to emphasise the cooperation element of our class. These teams have
been together for 19 class periods now. Team cohesion should be high! The two
events have different points values (Delegates) we are calling them since it is the 2016
election year. If a team wins that challenge, that team will get the delegates. Next to
the challenge name in parentheses are the number of delegates up for grab.
The Two Events

Pass Extravaganza
Delegates Available (20)
First Place- 9
Second Place- 5
Third Place- 3
Fourth Place- 2
Fifth Place- 1
34

 In Pass Extravaganza, each team will be lined up on the court, in a row that extends
through the full length of the basketball court. There are five players per team so there
should be a good gap of space available.
Each team will have one Netball and their team line will be facing the wall.
There will be three hula hoops set up on the wall.
The Netball starts in the back of the line, the goal of the teams are to pass the ball up to
the front of the line as fast as they can.
Once the ball gets to the front, the front player aims for a target on the wall. There are
three targets per team.
The higher target is 3 points, middle target 2 points, and lowest target 1 point.
Each player gets one shot
After the player tries to hit the target, that player takes the ball and runs to the back of
the line where that player is now the back and all of the other players move up a spot.
The objective of the game challenge is to get as many points as possible.
Once the player who started in front is back up to the front then that team will sit down.
There will be five rounds
After each round, the manager write down their point value for that round and tally them
all up at the end of that challenge.
The managers are reminded to be fair and not to cheat, integrity is the most important
thing.

Kings and Queens of the Court

Delegates Availble (40)
First Place- 17
Second Place- 12
Third Place- 8
Fourth Place- 7
Fifth Place- 6
In Kings and Queens of the Court, there will be three Netball post set up
Each team will start at a hoop determined by picking out of the hat by the team captains
Each team will be at the elbow of the court (Foul line extended)
Teams will be in a shooting competition with the Netballs
The objective is to make 5 baskets before the other team at your hoop
Once one team member shoots, they get the rebound and go to the back of the line.
If a team wins at hoop #1, that team collects 1 point and stays there
The team that loses moves down to the next hoop
if a team at hoop #2 or hoop #3 win, they move up with hopes of playing at hoop #1
where points are counted.
If a team wins at hoop 1 or 2, those are not counted as points. Those are hoops if you
win you move up.
Latter system (win move up, lose move down; except hoop #1)
Hoop #1 is the White House that is the hoop where points count.
All teams are trying to move up the ladder to make it to hoop #1
For example:
Team 1 v.s 2 at Hoop #1, 3 v.s 4 at Hoop #2, and 5 v.s 6 at Hoop #3
Below is an example of what one hoop would look like

Trump Newspaper Netball Edition

Mr.Abad, a physical education teacher at Trump High School for 15 years now, has always been
creative with his ideas. Coach Abad attended Springfield College where it is known as the Harvard of
Physical Education. We recently caught up with Coach Abad to talk about the unit, his all star student
LeBron James, and other thoughts of the Netball Sport Education Model.
Question: So Mr.Abad, who gave you the idea of a Sport Education Unit in Netball?
Answer: Well actually, during my time at Springfield College, I had a brilliant teacher. Dr. Kathy
Mangano had us do a sport ed project that included specific topics. Mine happened to be Netball. So
when I was thinking about fun and creative ways to get all of the students involved in competition, roles,
and a unique game that they haven't been exposed to yet, I thought this would be the perfect idea and it
happened to be a huge success.
Question: Coach Abad, a lot of people around the country, especially the town, have been talking about
the talent of Trump High School senior LeBron James. What do you have to say about him?
Answer: LeBron James is the best athlete I have ever been around. But what separates LeBron is his
personality, his strive to make everyone around him better, and his attitude he brings to Physical
Education class. If LeBron wasnt going to make it professional he would still have a bright future
because of the person he is. I am very fortunate to have known LeBron.

44

Question: What student was the biggest surprise in the Netball Sport Ed Model?
Answer: A couple of months ago we received a foreign exchange student from Australia. Margot Robbie
has been a great addition to our school. She is smart, talented, always looking to help, and one heck of a
Netball player. She was schooling everyone out their. She was on the leaderboards for almost every
statistical category. If LeBron wasnt in our class then she would of won the MVP award.
Question: What was the most unique thing you organized with this model?
Answer: The most unique thing with this model was the Presidential Skills Challenge we had. It is the
election year 2016 so I thought it would be cool to have delegates instead of points. The students
enjoyed it so i;m happy that worked out!
Interviewer: Mr.Abad thanks for the time!
Mr.Abad: Thanks for having me!
