Netball scoring, rules and officials

In a game of netball there are two clear ways to score points:

In open play, if a shot is successfully scored from inside the goal circle, the team gains one point.
If the team is awarded a technical foul then they will receive a free shot at the net. A successful shot will be awarded with one point.

Players are not allowed to travel with the ball.
A team can have up to 12 players but only seven are allowed to play on court.
Defending players are unable to snatch or hit the ball out of another player's hands.
A defending player is only allowed to stand beside the player with the ball until it has left their hands.
A defending player must stand three feet away from the person with the ball.
An attacking player is unable to hold the ball for more than three seconds.
Players must remain within their designated zones.
The team retaining possession after the ball goes out of play have three seconds at the sideline to get the ball back into play.
