Netball Travel Insurance

What is netball?

Netball is a competitive team sport where two teams of seven players each aim to score goals by passing a ball and shooting it into the opposing team's net. Unlike basketball, players are restricted to certain areas of the court, and the ball must be passed within three seconds. The sport emphasises precision, teamwork, and strategy.
