Terminology+you+may+not+understand

In netball you cannot run with the ball, however you can "pivot". This means you keep one foot grounded (usually the one that hit the ground first) and your other leg can move forwards, backwards, sideways in a stepping motion as long as that grounded foot does not move. You are staying in the same position but by being able to turn around and look around the court, it allows you to open up space on court by changing the direction of the game. **Click on the link to watch videos of pivoting.
 * __What is a "Pivot"?__

** I keep hearing the word "offensive" but have no idea what it means!!! Offense means the team with the ball is on offense or "attack". If you are the offensive team, you have the ball. The team without the ball is on defense. Therefore your offensive ball skills are the skills you use to help you get the ball successfully down to your shooters to score a goal (e.g different types of passes)**
