Jane Hunt and Netball New Zealand: The Silver Ferns' Way to Play Netball

While netball was once regarded as a game played and watched by females, it is now popular with both sexes and major games are regularly televised. What's more, netball is ranked as the most played secondary school sport in the country, with more than 120,000 participants.

The aim of this book, which has been produced in association with Silver Ferns Netball New Zealand, is to help young players to learn the basic skills and techniques needed to become a good netballer. There are sections written by Silver Fern players, who share their secrets on how to achieve better results on the court.

This lively, easy-to-read guide is packed with photographs and will also appeal to everyone who has watched a game of netball but is not sure of the rules. It is also a useful resource book for coaches of teams.
