About this word search
Netball is one of the most played sports in New Zealand, and on a Saturday morning the courts are full from Kaitaia to Invercargill. The Silver Ferns won the Netball World Cup in 2019 in Liverpool, beating Australia by one goal.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Silver Ferns, wing defence, goal defence and obstruction are the longest with eleven letters. Bibs is the shortest at four. Circle has six, and it is the only part of the court where goal shoot and goal attack can score. Goal shoot, goal attack, goal defence and goal keep all start with GOAL, so look at what follows. Silver Ferns and toss up run together.
Hand out bibs with GS, GA, WA, C, WD, GD and GK and let each player find their own position first.
