Netball is a popular sporting CCA in St. Margaret’s School (Primary). We strive to develop the necessary skills and attitudes in our pupils to play the game competently, displaying the school values of Life-long learning, Integrity, Graciousness, Humility and Tenacity (LIGHT). Some facts about NETBALL Netball is a fast and skillful team sport that fosters team-spirit and trains agility, endurance and perseverance. Speed, strategy, team work and co-ordination are essential skills for netball. Teams may include up to 12 players but only 7 may take the court at any one time. A game consists of 4 x 10 minutes quarters with an interval of 3 minutes after the first and third quarters and a 5-minute half-time interval. The major aim of the game is to score as many goals as possible from within an area called the Goal Circle.
