About FAST5 Netball

Each side only has five players on the court, compared with seven in normal netball competition, and there are rolling substitutions, with no stoppages in play. Each team can also, separately, nominate one "power play" quarter, in which each goal scored by that team counts for double points.

The goal shooter (GS) and goal attack (GA) may shoot goals from anywhere in the goal third. These goals count for two points if shot from between the inner and outer goal circles and three points if shot from outside the outer goal circle.

After each goal, the team that conceded the goal takes the next centre pass; teams alternate taking the first centre pass of each quarter. Under normal rules, a coin toss determines the first centre pass of the match, after which centre passes alternate between the two teams.

Tied games are decided by a period of extra time lasting 1 minute. If the scores are still tied at the end of that time, play continues until the next goal is scored.
