    I am not sure what netball is.


    Is there a sport with similar amounts of running (or whatever you do in netball) that you could enter in its place? Or maybe Google to see if any other sites have it?

    Approx. 450 calories per match, but I suppose it depends on what position you play, i.e. centre probably more whilst goalkeeper less.

    There's a calorie burn calculator on this website, and netball is on there too. The link is..

    Based on a 40min competitive match, you burn 1001kJ / 239kcal. I'm a female 32year old [161.5kg/159cm]. Fyi, I play WA but the position you play doesn't form part of the equation - it's generic. I also play outside rather than inside, but again this isn't part of the equation :O)
