Replayed ball is not a rule change but a “refresh” of the existing rule. The Short Pass rule has always been a rule, its just been updated slightly.

Short Pass
It is a fundamental principle of netball that every pass should be capable of being legally contested. The previous wording of the rule was interpreted in a way that eld to the use of passes so short that defenders had no opportunity to attempt to gain possession.

Replayed Ball
Replayed ball is one of the most confusing rules in Netball. The rule has been more clearly defined:

  • How you gain possession of the ball.
  • What you can do whilst in possession.
