Fast5 netball

Fast5 netball is a five-a-side version of netball. It evolved from the Fastnet rules first introduced by the International Federation of Netball Associations for the 2009 World Netball Series. Fastnet featured four six-minute quarters, two-point shots from outside the goal circle and a power play during which all goals counted double. However, like traditional netball, Fastnet was a seven-a-side game. Ahead of the 2012 Fast5 Netball World Series, the rules were revised and Fastnet became known as Fast5. As part of this transition, the game changed from seven-a-side to five-a-side. In 2017, Netball Superleague teams began playing in the British Fast5 Netball All-Stars Championship. In 2023, Fast5 netball made its debut at the Commonwealth Youth Games.
