@voodoo certainly think they miss a bit in terms if layup and dunks
You can do a layup, I'm surprised you haven't seen it. Don't think you can dunk.
Just don't see it tried too often.
When I played GA or GS, I would do "layups". They're more like finger rolls, basically just jumping put-backs.
I think the rule against dunking might be touching the rim being banned? Not that it really matters...
My daughter plays, I watch and enjoy it cos she's playing. I can even watch the pros play. Doesn't stop me from the realisation that many of the rules are daft
..
You can dunk (of sorts) in netball but you have to do it without hitting the goal post or it will be a free pass to the other team.
I like playing netball but it’s a frustrating game to watch. I only watch the Ferns vs Oz because any chance to beat Oz at something I will watch.
This is neither a hot take or an unpopular opinion.

This may not be a hot take, but I can't be fucked finding the netball thread.
What a stupid sport it is. I can actually handle watching it, but I have to block out the fact that the rules are just completely idiotic. They took a great game in basketball, and decided they'd impose a heap of stupid rules (contact on the ball, wtf???) to invent a new female-friendly game. For what? Daft.
I don't understand the love for basketball. Such a boring game that you could literally just take the last five minutes and watch that.
I used to love playing and watching it as a teenager then fell out of it. However, as my eldest son got older and I was looking at sports to play him in, it's came back in vogue.
I really think it's a great sport for kids to play. Everybody has an opportunity to score points, everybody must contribute to both offence & defence, it's an easy game to practice all by yourself, it's relatively accessible & it's easy to change rules to suit how / where you are playing.
It all goes to shit when you get older and people who are taller have so much of an advantage though.

100% agree with this. By far the best sport I played in my youth (because it was the only sport I wasn't utterly shit at)
I'd add it's really easy to set up a team as there's facilities everywhere, you don't need much kit to cart around play and it's cheap as well.

Re the bold: Que?
As I said above, to my mind I nd the cool thing about netball is it's the ultimate team sport because you limit who can defend and who can scoter to 2 people each.

Not disagreeing just clarifying your statement the everybody gets to score points. As there's only two allowed to shoot.
Otherwise thought we agreed.

I think his singing sucks, but he can write a good song if other people sing it.
