LOL I hated netball in elementary school because I was convinced it was a ripoff girl version of basketball (and I looooved basketball). I changed my mind when I actually started playing it.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend netball to guys simply because they'll think it's a sissy sport. There was a guys team at my school for one season, but it kind of died because there was only one other guys team in our district (their coach only made them play netball because the basketball season had ended and he thought they would benefit from learning netball).

It's is very different from basketball; there are a lot more nit-picky rules, and everyone has a specific position and are only allowed in certain parts of the court (it is broken into thirds, and within the two ends are semi-circles for shooters). There are two shooters (GS and GA) and two people to defend the net (GK and GD) on each team, but only GA and GD are allowed in the center third. Then there are the WD and WA who can only go into two thirds of the court, but not in the semi-circles. Lastly is the C who can run into any third, but not the semi-circles. People must be three feet away from the people they're checking and there is no dribbling allowed.

I doubt any of that ^ made sense. The easiest way you can learn the game is to play it.
