Hi Kathryn, Here's a quick rundown of the roles for each netball position:
- Goal Shooter (GS): Primarily responsible for scoring goals. They need to be calm under pressure, get free for passes, and ensure good shooting positions.
- Goal Attack (GA): Works with the Wing Attack to get the ball into the shooting circle. They need to be good passers and shooters, and assist in feeding the ball to the Goal Shooter.
- Wing Attack (WA): Focuses on getting the ball to the Goal Shooter. They need to be quick and agile, moving to receive the centre pass and driving to the circle edge.
- Centre (C): The engine of the team, covering both attack and defense. They restart play after goals and need to be agile and fit.
- Wing Defence (WD): Defends against the opposition's Wing Attack, aiming to intercept passes and block the circle edge.
- Goal Defence (GD): Marks the Goal Attack and works to intercept passes and block shots.
- Goal Keeper (GK): Defends against the Goal Shooter, aiming to intercept and block shots.
Each position has its own unique responsibilities and areas of the court they can move in. Let me know if you need more details!
