About this word search
In netball you have three seconds to pass or shoot, and once your landing foot is down you may pivot on it but not step. Each position may only go into certain parts of the court, and stepping out of your area is called offside.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions. Shooting circle is the longest at fourteen letters, then shoulder pass at twelve. Ring and bibs are only four. Four words end in PASS: bounce pass, chest pass, penalty pass and shoulder pass. Goal post, goal shoot and the other GOAL words need a careful look at their endings.
Act out a word from the list as a team and let the others guess which one it is.
