Y 7 Netball – Footwork Rules - One of the trickiest rules to remember in netball is getting your footwork right. - If a player catches the ball with only one foot on the ground then that foot is called the landing foot. - A player can then choose to step with the other foot, lift the landing foot and throw the ball before the landing foot returns to the ground. - Or they can pivot on the landing foot and move the other foot any number of times - depending on how flexible the player is! - But they are NOT allowed to move or hop on the landing foot until they have thrown the ball. - A player can also jump, switching from the landing foot to their other one, and then jump again to throw the ball. - If a player has both feet on the floor when catching the ball they will choose their landing foot and follow the rules as above. - If a player breaks the footwork rule it is usually called stepping and a free pass is awarded.
