Latest Question

Q.hi do they still do toss ups in a yr9 game??
and what is possesion??
and holding
A.The toss up is rarely used in netball today as the instruction is for the umpire is to make a decision. Possession means that one person would have caught or grabbed the ball before the other and so has the right to continue play with the ball because they had hold of the ball first. Play continues without any penalty being awarded.

Can you please explain more about what you mean by holding?
