netball
Stationary passing sport
Netball is a team sport similar to basketball, played mainly by women, in which players pass a ball and shoot it through a raised hoop.
Unlike basketball, players cannot dribble or run with the ball, and each position is restricted to certain zones of the court.
The sport is popular in Commonwealth countries, especially Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.
