Any tips on how to play GK against a GA way taller then you
hi everyone, I play in a social netball league and it’s the first time I’ve played netball. I’m a guy and tallish (6”0) so GK has become my position. I feel like I’ve been doing well, I get most rebounds, stop lots of passes and get intercepts it’s so fun. Usually I verse girls shorter then me or guys about my height and can stop people taller then me fairly easily, but at our game tonight the other teams GA was at least 6”5 with a wingspan that was probably longer. They would throw the ball up next to the hoop and he’d catch it and literally jump and drop it in. It did make it harder having to rush from their GS to the GA as he ran into the circle, and I can’t swap with our GD as she is our best player. anyway, By the end of the game I resorted to playing dirty and got some stops but I was lucky not to get called for a few things. The rest of my team played great and we won, but I was definitely outplayed. Was curious as to whether their is any strategies or tips for versing someone with such a height advantage or if it’s best to play dirty and pray. Thank you!
