Hi Rachael,

Half-Court game is pretty standard. You need 8 players and you can get away with one set of bibs, but it works best with two different colours.

Team 1 is C, WA, GA, GS

Team 2 is C, WD, GD, GK (if only using one set of bibs then the defensive C goes without)

Play starts from a centre pass for Team 1. They are attempting to score a goal. Team 2 are attempting to stop them and "score" by getting the ball out from defence to level with the centre circle.

Restart can be either just another centre pass to Team 1, or you can alternate between Centre Pass for Team 1 and Goal Line Throw In for Team 2.

All other normal netball rules apply.

Hope this helps.
