What’s in Each Paper

  • Two PDFs: a question paper with answer boxes and court diagrams for rough working, and a question-and-answer version with model answers and the marks for each point.
  • The real format: twelve four-part Section 1 questions, three of them No Action, and eight Section 2 questions with marks shown for each box.
  • Model answers in the expected wording: the right Rule Name and Rule Heading, the sanction wording and a specific location, so you learn the patterns that earn marks.
  • Checked against the rules: every answer is checked against the World Netball Rules of Netball (2024 edition), with rule numbers for reference.
  • Original questions: every situation is written from scratch by The Netball Umpire.
