===Indoor netball=== <!--Not to be confused with standard netball games played indoors.--> {{Main|Indoor netball}} [[File:Indoor Netball Finals 2014 - Last Quarter.webm|thumb|Indoor Netball, 2014]] Indoor netball is a variation of netball, played exclusively indoors, in which the playing court is often surrounded on each side and overhead by a net. The net prevents the ball from leaving the court, permitting faster play by reducing playing stoppages.<ref name=Alswang-2>{{harvnb|Alswang|2003|p=2}}</ref> Different forms of indoor netball exist. In a seven-per-side version called "action netball", seven players per team play most standard rules, except a game is split into fifteen-minute halves around a three-minute break. This version is played in Australia,<ref name=INA>{{cite web |title=Indoor Netball Australia Rule Book |author=Indoor Netball Australia |year=2003 |url=http://www.indoornetball.org.au/images/stories/rules/INARULEBOOK_V2010.PDF |access-date=7 March 2011 }}</ref> New Zealand,<ref name=NZISa>{{cite web |author=New Zealand Indoor Netball |title=7-a-side Indoor Netball Official Rule Book |url=http://www.nzindoorsports.org.nz/fileadmin/templates/rules/7aside_NZIS_Indoor_Netball_Rules_2008.pdf |date=January 2008 |access-date=7 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724200641/https://www.nzindoorsports.org.nz/fileadmin/templates/rules/7aside_NZIS_Indoor_Netball_Rules_2008.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref> South Africa<ref name=alswang-2003>{{harvnb|Alswang|2003}}</ref> and England.<ref name=AN-England>{{cite web |author=Action Indoor Sports (England) |title=Action Netball: 7 A-Side |url=http://www.actionsportuk.com/action-netball |access-date=7 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110707081058/https://www.actionsportuk.com/action-netball |archive-date=7 July 2011}}</ref> A six-per-side version of the sport is also played in New Zealand. Two Centres per team can play in the whole court except the shooting circles; the remaining attacking and defending players are each restricted to one half of the court, including the shooting circles. The attacking and Centre players may shoot from outside the shooting circle for a two-point goal.<ref name=NZIS>{{cite web |author=New Zealand Indoor Netball |title=Indoor Netball Official Rule Book (6-a-side) |url=http://www.nzindoorsports.org.nz/fileadmin/templates/rules/6_aside_NZIS_Indoor_Netball_Rules_Oct_2009.pdf |date=October 2009 |access-date=7 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724200646/https://www.nzindoorsports.org.nz/fileadmin/templates/rules/6_aside_NZIS_Indoor_Netball_Rules_Oct_2009.pdf |archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref><ref name=Planet-Sport>{{cite web |url=http://www.planetsports.co.nz/wa.asp?idWebPage=36815&idDetails=165 |author=Planet Sport |title=Indoor Netball at Planet Sports |access-date=3 March 2011 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110724194100/http://www.planetsports.co.nz/wa.asp?idWebPage=36815&idDetails=165| archive-date =24 July 2011}}</ref> A five-per-side game is also common in indoor netball. Players can move throughout the court, with the exception of the shooting circles, which are restricted to certain attacking or defending players.
