Gameplay Rules

1. The game follows the typical rules of netball. Consult this link for a full understanding of netball rules. Fundamental to the game: players are not allowed to move while in possession of the ball.
2. The 'hoops' of the game are represented by the team members standing on chairs. Players attempt to score points by successfully throwing the ball to their elevated teammate.
3. A point is scored for their team every time these 'hoops' successfully catch the ball. Each caught ball equals one point.
