5 Reasons Why Playing Netball Will Improve Your Working Week Posted on 24th January 201716th September 2022 by gomammoth We asked our GO Mammoth netball team why playing netball improves their day to day life at work. So if you’re thinking about playing netball for the first time or getting back into it, take a little look at this: 1) Playing netball regularly will improve your concentration and focus in the office “I hate the first couple of weeks back in the office after Christmas, as I struggle to keep focus on my day-to-day tasks; this is a big problem for my role as I have to book the umpires for all of our leagues. Getting back out on the netball court after Christmas not only gets my fitness levels back toward they want to be and undoubtedly improves my ability to concentrate on hitting my targets at work .” Bridget Dowling – Reps Manager 2) Playing netball regularly will allow to catch more zzzzzzzzzzzz “Struggle with sleeping? Play netball. It’s a game that tires your brain as well as your body. I play netball three times a week and as soon as my head hits my pillow, it’s always light out.” Josie Knight – Member Services Manager 3) Playing netball regularly will lift your mood at work “Let’s be honest for a moment. The workplace will always be a stressful environment. But I definitely feel that since playing netball once a week, I generally have a more positive outlook during my 9-5. When I play netball on a Wednesday night, Thursdays are always a good day for me.” Kitty Ayling – Operations Manager 4) Playing netball with your colleagues will foster a better working relationship “Our GO Mammoth team play netball every Wednesday night. Apart from being a lot of fun, it gives each of us the opportunity to socialise with colleagues that we don’t often work with closely on a daily basis. I definitely feel playing netball helps me work more effectively with my colleagues in the office. ” Hannah Lambert – Operations 5) Playing netball regularly will give you an excuse to get out of work on time! “Okay okay so we work at GO Mammoth, so if we didn’t leave work to arrive for our netball games on time, it would look pretty bad on us! But I believe it’s important to maintain a good work/life balance – having a regular activity in your weekly schedule such as netball will help give you the impetus to get out of work on time.” Sam Stevenson – Member Services Ready to play netball with us: London – Play Netball in London North East – Play Netball In Leeds | Play Netball In Sheffield North West – Netball In Liverpool | Netball In Manchester Scotland – Netball In Edinburgh | Netball In Glasgow South – Play Netball In Oxford | Play Netball In Portsmouth | Play Netball In Reading | Play Netball In Southampton South East – Play Netball In Brighton South West – Play Netball In Bath | Play Netball In Bristol Wales – Play Netball In Cardiff Read more netball content from GO Mammoth: Here are 10 reasons why you should play netball with us 10 things everyone who played netball at school will relate to The netball rules changed in September – check out the latest additions!

The 5 Most Complex Netball Rules Explained Posted on 20th October 201622nd November 2016 by gomammoth Post by Netball Squad When you first start playing netball the rules can seem really complicated. They’ll be second nature before long, but we’re giving you a head start by breaking down 5 of the most complicated netball rules to help you better understand and enjoy the sport. Rule 1: Short pass It’s always so frustrating to get called for a short pass. You basically have to have enough room to fit a defender between you and your teammate every time you pass the ball – I guess the logic is that otherwise you’d be able to just line up and hand the ball to each other down the court. Another thing to watch out for is catching the ball at the same time as one of your teammates – it can count as a pass. Man Repeller GIF – Find & Share on GIPHY Look – two whole defenders can fit in the space between this pass! How to avoid getting called: Make sure that you pass the ball with plenty of space between you and your teammate. Rule 2: Delaying play Ever wonder why everyone runs back to their centre pass positions after a goal has been scored? If you’re not back behind the line before the centre steps into the circle, you’re delaying play. The centre can’t wait for you either – if they don’t jog straight to the circle, they’ll get called for delaying play. How to avoid getting called: Run straight back to your starting position as soon as a goal is scored. Rule 3: Footwork In school you learn that you can’t move with the ball, but that isn’t really the case. The rule actually is that you can’t put your landing foot back down. This means that you can do a kind of triple-jump move where you jump to catch the ball, then take two steps and pass on the run. Check out this demo from England WD Serena Guthrie – totally within the rules: Animated GIF – Find & Share on GIPHY Discover & Share this Animated GIF with everyone you know. GIPHY is how you search, share, discover, and create GIFs. How to avoid getting called: Remember which one your landing foot is when you catch the ball (if you landed on both feet at the same time, you get to choose!). Rule 4: Obstruction There are lots of ways you can get called for obstruction, but the one that can be most confusing is the ‘natural body position’ rule. The aim is trying to stop you restricting someone else’s movement with your arms. In practice it means that when you’re marking close to your player your arms have to be close-ish to your sides. How to avoid getting called: Focus on defending without lifting your arms up to the side. Rule 5: Replayed ball Everyone knows you can’t bounce the ball in netball like you do in basketball, but you might have seen people do something similar and wondered why the umpire didn’t pull them up. The general rule is that you can’t pick up the ball again after you’ve been in control of it – so if you tap it and then pick it back up that’s fine, but if you grab it with both hands, drop it and pick it back up then that’s replayed. Thompson probably would have been allowed to pick this back up if she hadn’t gone offside. Animated GIF – Find & Share on GIPHY Discover & Share this Animated GIF with everyone you know. GIPHY is how you search, share, discover, and create GIFs. How to avoid getting called: If you drop the ball after properly catching it, leave it for a teammate to pick up.
