INTRODUCTION

This assessment will give brief information about my experience with the helping of the putting

together a competition for my School Based Assessment. The competition that will be held is a

Netball competition. For this competition to be a success we have to gather up a specific amount

of money to buy supplements for the competition as well as prizes for the participants. For this

School Based Assessment each student were divided into groups and is required to fulfill their

responsibilities of their respective role and report on what they had done. My School Based

Assessment is based on an Equipment Manager.

HISTORY OF NETBALL WORLWIDE

The history of netball can be traced to the early development of basketball by a man named

James Naismith in 1891. A year later; the sport was modified for women to accommodate social

conventions regarding their participation in sport, giving rise to women's basketball. Variations

of women's basketball arose across the United States and in England. At a physical training

college in England, the rules of women's basketball were modified over several years to form an

entirely new sport: "net ball". The first codified rules of netball were published at the start of the

twentieth century, and from there the new sport spread throughout the British Empire.

From the beginning, netball was widely accepted as a sport suitable for women. Domestic netball

competitions arose in several countries during the first half of the 20th century. Starting from the

1920s, national associations were formed to organize the sport in netball-playing nations.

International matches were played sporadically in the early 20th century, but were hampered by

varying rules in different countries.

By 1960, the rules of netball were standardized internationally. An international governing body

was formed to oversee the sport globally, now called the International Netball Federation (INF).

The second half of the 20th century saw international competition expand, with the sports

premier international competition, the World Netball Championships, starting in 1963. Netball

has also been contested at the Commonwealth Games since 1998. From the start, netball was

developed as a women's sport: existing outside the sphere of male-dominated sports, netball did

not encounter the initial social opposition that faced women in other sports in the early 20th

century. Women's participation in netball in the early 20th century was widely accepted, as

5

the sport avoided physical contact and did not involve male participation. The sport spread

substantially through the school systems of many netball-playing countries.

National netball associations were established, starting from the 1920s, to administer various

organized netball leagues and organizations on a national level. The first such organization was

the New Zealand Basketball Association, which was formed in 1924. Equivalent organizations

were formed in other countries, including the All England Net Ball Association in 1926, the

All Australia Women's Basketball Association in 1927 and the Jamaican Netball Association

in 1957. In 1949, wheelchair netball was introduced at the Grand Festival of Paraplegic Sport

and was played at every festival until 1954.

Competitive netball in the early 20th century mostly comprised local leagues or nationwide

domestic tournaments. International competition was initially hindered by variations of rules in

different countries. Australia and New Zealand contested the first international game of netball

(still called "women's basketball" in both countries) in 1938, when the New Zealand team toured

Australia, playing local and state teams as well as the Australian national team. At the time,

Australia played seven-a-side netball, while New Zealand played nine-a-side. For these matches,

Australian seven-a-side netball was adopted, along with some netball rules from England.

In their one encounter for that tour, Australia's national team defeated New Zealand 40–11.

England played Scotland and Wales in the first international matches of "netball" in 1949, with

England winning 25–3 in both games.

HISTORY OF NETBALL IN JAMAICA

The first game of netball was played at Madame Ostenburg’s College, England in 1895 and was

later introduced into Jamaican schools in 1909.

In 1958, The Jamaica Netball Association (JNA) was formed and in 1959 became a member of

The West Indies Netball Board and an associate member of the All England Netball Association.

Jamaica’s first national team competed in the West Indies Tournament held in Montserrat in

August 1959.

Since that first international game in 1959, the senior team, the Sunshine Girls, has participated

in every World Netball Championships, now Netball World Cup, finishing within the top six

nations. Jamaica placed third in three World Championships — in 1991, 2003 and 2007. Jamaica

has played in all five Commonwealth Games netball events, winning a bronze medal in 2002 in

Manchester and 2014 in Glasgow, Scotland. Jamaica also won a silver medal in the inaugural

Fastnet World Series in 2009 now called the Fast5 World Series.

In 1963 the Government of Jamaica made netball the official sport for women. Over 50 years

later, netball is the most widely played sport for women and girls in Jamaica with an aggregate

total of over 250,000 participants on school, community, and club, social and corporate teams.

Across the nation, organized games and leagues attract players of all skill levels from the

grassroots to elite level, highlighted by the outstanding performance of the Sunshine Girls.

Currently ranked 4th in the world, the sporting body has undergone fundamental changes in its

organizational structure with the strategic goal to achieve the Number 1 world ranking. In 2013,

The Netball Foundation of Jamaica, a registered company and an approved charitable

7

organization, became the sport’s new legal entity with the business trading name Netball

Jamaica.  This new company supersedes the Jamaica Netball Association and brings with it

fundamental changes to how the sport is administered going forward.

Along with a new name and logo, the restructured operations will administer the sport as a

business, improve visibility and provide more opportunities for the development of players to

reach the elite level.

HISTORY OF NETBALL AT BRIDGEPORT HIGH SCHOOL

Netball was first played in Bridgeport High School between the years of 1978 to 1980. The

Bridgeport Netball was first coached by Berly Edwards who at the time was the head of the P.E

Department. The captain of the BPHS Netball team at the time was Marva Simpson.

They entered a competition among St. Catherine secondary school and the winner would play

against the winner of the other winners from each parish. Between 1980 and 1985, Bridgeport

high won the St. Catherine parish finals at least twice during the five (5) year period but they

never gone on to winning the national championship. Since those years, Bridgeport has always

been competitive and quite a few times they have gone through semi –finals. During that time,

Bridgeport has provided three national players; they are:

Marvetta Murray – who played on the national senior team between 2006 and 2008

Currently, Bridgeport High has two netball players playing on the national team. They are:

Trudy – Ann Pennant for under 20 team

Rohanna Dixon who plays for the under 16 team

The Bridgeport team had entered the International secondary school Association in the corporate

areas and St. Catherine.

Bridgeport has played every year and has made it to the final twice but they never won. They

played Delnoon Technical, St. Andrew high and Queens High in the finals when they last made

it that far. Bridgeport had always had a junior and senior team.

9

The netballers are consistently in the semi-finals of the school girls competition nationally.

They have maintained third and fourth places in both senior and junior teams and were placed 3rd

in their zone in 2001.

RULES THAT GOVERN THE SPORTS OF NETBALL

The following is an overview of the rules of the game of netball as outlined in the Official

Netball Rules, published by the International Federation of Netball Association (IFNA).

1. Team: Teams shall consist of 7 players. There must be at least 5 players, one of whom must play centre, to enable the fixture to go ahead.

2. Playing positions and roles:

Goal Shooter 

To score goals and to work in and around the circle with the GA

Goal Attack To feed and work with GS and to score goals

Wing Attack To feed the circle players giving them shooting opportunities

Centre To take the centre pass and to link the defence and the attack

Wing Defence

To look for interceptions and prevent the WA from feeding the circle

Goal Defence  To win the ball and reduce the effectiveness of the GA

Goal Keeper 

To work with the GD and to prevent the GA/GS from scoring goals

3. Starting the game: The first centre pass is decided between the two captains by the toss of a coin.

The centre passes then alternate between the teams, regardless of which team has scored.

Before the whistle, all players must start in the goal thirds except the two Centres. The Centre

with the ball must be wholly within the Centre Circle and must obey the footwork rule after the

11

whistle has been blown.

The opposing Centre stands anywhere within the Centre Third and is free to move.

After the whistle the Centre pass must be caught or touched by a player standing in or landing

wholly within the Centre third.

A player must not break at the centre pass, which is moving into the Centre third before the

whistle is blown for the Centre pass.

Players must get onside quickly at the centre pass. The Centre with the ball must hurry back to

the centre circle and step straight in. If she waits for her players to get back on side, this is called

“delaying play”.

A free pass would be awarded to the opposing team in any of these instances above.

4. Offside Rule: A player with or without the ball cannot move into an area of the court that

is not designated for their position.

This will result in a free pass being awarded to the opposing team.

5. Shooting: Only the GS and GA are able to score goals for your team. They must be

wholly inside the goal circle to shoot.

6. Throw in: hen taking a throw in, a player places her foot up to but not on the sideline or

backline of the court. The lines are part of the court. If any part of your foot is touching

the line or you step into the court in the process of taking the throw in, this is deemed to

be a foul throw.

This includes walking on the court to pass the ball to another player if you decide that

they should take the throw in. In this instance, you should leave the ball on the floor

12

outside the court for the player to then pick up.

You have 3 seconds from when you take up your position at the side of the court in which

to throw the ball.

You must also wait until all players are back on the court before taking the throw in.

7. Over a Third: The ball cannot be thrown over a complete third of the court without being

touched or caught by a player (i.e. it cannot cross two transverse lines).

A free pass shall be taken from the area where the ball crossed the second transverse line

(i.e. where the ball shouldn’t have been).

8. Obstruction: A player attempting to intercept or defend the ball must be at least 3ft

(0.9m) away from the player with the ball. This distance is measured from the landing

foot of the player in possession of the ball. The defender may jump to intercept or defend the

ball from this 0.9m (3ft) feet distance but you must ensure if you do jump to defend a ball, you

don’t land any nearer that 3ft or this is obstruction (i.e. shortening your distance).

9. Jewellery and Nails: These are not allowed because these can cause injuries to players.

13

ROLE REPORT ON FINAL MATCH

In the final match, my role was an equipment manager. An equipment manager is in charge of

the sports team’s equipment. As an equipment manager I have to:

Follow the advice of the organizing committee, setting up and return of equipment for games.

Keep an inventory of the equipment that is needed for the execution of the game and be

responsible for the return of the equipment to the store room.

Investigates and complies a report about any damaged or loss of equipment and reports

findings to the Competition Manager.

Responsible for maintaining a tidy and efficient equipment storeroom.

Performed simple maintainance of equipment.

During the final match I began to sweep of the court, pick up garbage around the court, and serve

players water and food check if the balls were in a suitable condition for playing and ensure

that the players don’t destroy the bibs.

26

SUMMARY OF COMPETITION

Before the competition began the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Secretaries conducted

devotion for all persons that participated in the developing of the game which lasted for fifteen

minutes. The first match took place between 7BEP and 7G. In the first half 7BEP scored eight

(8) points and 7G scored four (4) points; in the second half the scores were four to one (4-1)

7BEP won. 7ID and 7R played in the second match with a total of four (4) points for 7ID and a

total of one (1) point for 7R in the first half and in the second half 7ID scored three (3) points

and 7R was unfortunate they did not score any goal. 7G and 7ID faced off in the third (3rd)

match. 7ID lost by ten (10) points in the first half and four (4) points in the second half against

7G. In the fourth (4th) match 7BEP and 7R played against each other. 7BEP won by thirteen (13)

points in the first half and by seven (7) points in the second half against 7R.

In the fifth (5th) match 7R and 7G had a face off. The points are as follows: 7R scored one (1)

goal in the first (1st) half and one (1) in the second (2nd) half. 7G scored seven (7) goals in the

first (1st) half and five (5) in the second half. In the sixth (6th) match 7ID and 7BEP played

against each other and 7ID lost by six (6) points in the first (1st) half and lost by two (2) points in

the second (2nd) half against 7BEP. In the semi finals 7ID and 7R battled for third (3rd) place.

7R did not score any goal in both first (1st) and second (2nd) half. 7ID scored one (1) goal in

both first (1st) and second (2nd) half. 7ID came third (3rd) and 7R came fourth (4th).

In the final match 7BEP and 7G battled for first place. 7BEP won with scores six to one (6-1)

and four to one (4-1).

27

REFLECTION

The competition was really good. I enjoyed every minute of it. The players showed their interest

and determination to be the winning team. Everyone one of the staff who took part in the

developing of the competition played their part and handled it well. Most of the staff displayed

their leadership skills which was very good especially the coaches and team managers. The

umpires did a wonderful job by ensuring that all players were doing their part while playing the

game. They were a major help in the success of the game as well as the players. If it was not

for their participation the Netball Competition would not a success.

28

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that the players of the game should get more practice and plan their moves before

the game begins. The players needed to be more focused on the game instead of thinking

about winning. They played well but they needed more time to put themselves together and

choose their playing positions two (2) days before the competition. One mistake made was that

one of the team had a short person for the Wing Attack (WA) and a tall person for the Centre (C)

this is very unusual. Also they need to read the rules about the conduct of the game before

playing because I observed that some of the players were inexperienced.

29

CONCLUSION

At the end of the Netball competition all players were awarded for their participation which

would encourage them to take part in physical activities. Talking with some of the players they

explained that they had fun and is looking forward for a next competition in the upcoming year.

Some also said that they are going to join the school’s Netball team. Both management and

players had and insight of what a real Netball match would be like but it would be more

professional. I had to say that I really enjoyed helping to put this game together.
