Primary School Netball Information
We understand at England Netball that primary school sport should include high-quality physical education as part of the curriculum and provide plenty of competitive opportunities and activities designed to meet the needs of all your young people. We believe that netball is a fantastic school sport, it is a fast, skilful, team game based on running, jumping, throwing and catching. These movements are fundamental in developing pupils’ agility, balance and coordination. We hope to support schools to use netball to raise standards, pupils’ achievements and attainment.
Netball is the fastest growing female team sport in England and we’d like to get even more young people involved and kept in the game. We’ve pulled together the following information to support teachers with their Netball Delivery.

HELLO FROM ENGLAND NETBALL
England Netball recommends High 5 netball format for all children aged 9 to 11. It is a 5-a-side version of the 7-a-side game designed specifically for children. High 5 can be played by girls and boys and encourages maximum participation in every aspect of the game and even lets children score and time-keep, as well as enjoying a taste of every position. It boosts fitness and adaptability and provides a great social framework for players to strengthen friendships. Kids tell us they love playing it!
We have pulled together all of the information you need to get High 5 up and running in your school.
High 5 is the massively popular entry game of netball. Should you wish to learn more about the game watch our introduction to High 5 video online at www.englandnetball.co.uk/my-game/High_5

COMPETITION FOR YOUR SCHOOL
Netball
netball - fastnet
Quick introductionThis is a mixed game with different
rules from netball. It is mixed, there
are power plays and you can shoot
from outside the circle.
Think tacticsHow can you make the most
of a power play and choose
it at the right time?
Getting started ■ Can be played on an indoor or outdoor court.
■ Seven players play on each side play four
quarters of six minutes (if mixed minimum of
four players must be female).
■ Where a team has three males on court, only
one male is permitted to play within each third.
■ When boys and girls are playing against
each other ensure that they are appropriately
matched in terms of strength, skill level etc.
■ The Captain winning the toss chooses end
or first centre pass at the start of the first and
third quarter. The other team will have first
centre pass at the start of the second and
fourth quarter. All other centre passes will not
alternate but instead the game will restart by
the team who conceded the last goal.
■ Each team will have one quarter as a power
play where any goals scored will be doubled
(the power play quarter must be chosen before
the quarter starts).
■ Shooters may shoot from inside or outside
of the goal circle. All successful goals from
outside the goal circle will be worth double i.e.
two goal points (four points in a power play).
Successful shots from outside the circle count double.
In a power play, all goals scored count double.

Getting started
■ To view rules and video guides visit the High 5 section at

■ Put participants into pairs or small groups.
■ Demonstrate the action first and allow time to practise.
■ Start on two feet and jump as high as you can and land
on one foot and hold for four seconds. Repeat four times,
twice on the left foot and twice on the right foot. Landing
foot becomes ‘STICKY FOOT’ (throw-down “sticky” feet).*
■ Start on one foot jump as high as you can and land on the
opposite foot. Repeat four times, twice on left foot and
twice on right foot.
■ Jump must be vertical not forward.
■ Balance must be held for four seconds (static jumping).
■ The foot should not move on landing.
■ Progress to running, on command jump in air and land on
one foot (sticky foot does not move) and balance before
putting down other foot.
■ When progressing to running, give them a target line on
court to run to, instruct them to jump over line, then land
balance.
* You can purchase some throw-down feet and ask them to
run, and on command find a sticky foot to land on.
Quick introduction
This is a jumping challenge to introduce players to the footwork rule.
Equipment required
■ None (but sticky feet would be fun!).
Health and safety points
■ Ensure:
■ there is enough space between participants
■ a flat even surface area (indoor or outdoor) is used
■ running is done in same direction and in small groups.
