It’s Netball, but not as you know it.
Beach Netball combines rules from Netball, Basketball, Volleyball and Football. There’s no thirds, so players can go long at every opportunity. Beach Netball is all about fun with friends.
Games run for 10 minutes with approximately 8-10 games per team (depending on how many teams enter)
Lets rundown the rules
The home team starts with the ball behind the transverse line. There are 5 players on the sand from each team, with two allowed in the goal square. There are no set positions or thirds, so players can move around as they like, and pass the ball as far as they can. You can diving on the ball and players can pass from the sand, or stand before passing the ball.
Each team has to cross the traverse line, before they become eligible to score. Anyone can score, so pass the ball as often as you like, and shoot from anywhere you think you can make the shot.
Once a team scores a goal the opposing team starts with the ball behind the end goal line. They need to take the ball down the court and across the traverse line before they can attempt to score. This also applies to an intercept, as you can only score once you have crossed the traverse line and gained possession of the court.
Beach Netball consists of two x 5 minute halves, with a break in between. Play will not stop during the halves, and subs can be made at any time.
