KGV in The Rocks, Sydney


Netball was inventd in 1895 and derived from basketball, it mainly prevails in New Zeland and Australia. No wonder I never see it in Taiwan, by the way, there are many strange sports in Australia. Every player in netball game will wear a clothe with unique English abbreviation, each player has his/her own duty. I saw this game on some day when I got past the KGV.
籃網球是一種發源自籃球，於 1895 年發明，目前主要盛行於紐西蘭和澳洲。難怪我在台灣看都沒看過，話說澳洲還真的有不少奇怪的運動。網球每個人穿的球衣身上都會有奇怪的英文代碼，各司其職。這是某一天經過 KGV 的時候看到的。

The player holding the ball won't driblbe it while moving, there is only a net wirhout board, these are the differences between netball and basketball I found, moreover, female and male players are mixed togerhter in the game.
持球員行進間是不運球的，籃網後面有沒有籃板，這是我發現和籃球的主要差異。而且比賽時，男、女球員是可以混在一起比賽。
