Netball World Series - Fast 5 2014

Right now, there is a netball world series that is happening right this minute. If you don’t know what fast 5 is well, it is like a netball game and basketball game. There are only 5 players on court and there are different shooting sections that you can shot in. You can shot 1 point, 2 pointers and 3 pointers.

In fast 5 there are different countries that are competing in this competition. There are only 6 teams competing in this series. They are England, New Zealand, South Africa, Malawi, Jamaica and Australia.

In fast 5 there is a thing called powerplay. Powerplay is when you get double points when you shoot the ball in the hop. The teams also get to choose what quarter they would want there powerplay in. The teams can choose from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter.

Once a year there is a fast 5. Every year the games are held in different countries. This year it is held in Auckland - Vector Arena but, next year it is held in Sydney - Australia.

Last year New Zealand won the Fast 5 netball series and got the cup. This year I hope New Zealand wins again. I am not trying to be mean to the other countries. I am just saying that because I live in New Zealand and they are fantastic at netball.
