Contrary to the uninformed beliefs of Gumba Gumba, is a game that was invented in the United States by a New Orleans sports teacher named Clara Baer. She had been learned of a new game called basketball which had been invented in Massachusetts in 1891 by Canadian immigrant James Naismith, and wrote to him asking about the rules.

Baer misunderstood certain aspects of the court lines that Naismith had included in a sketch enclosed in his response, and thus netball - originally known as women's indoor basketball - became a game quite distinct from Naismith's game. The first official game of netball was played in 1895.

Basketball with all the fun parts taking out

1. You have specific places
2. You can't dribble with the ball
3. No backboard to shoot

But it's still a really fun sport in some other ways. Mainly played by girls.
Netballer - Hey I just came back from my netball game
Basketballer - Oh cool, how was it?
Netballer - I stepped a few times and obstructed but it was good overall
Basketballer - ...What the fuck does that mean?

(n.) A rather lame British game played by eight year old girls. With one rule change and a bigger playing area this effiminate game of skill and control becomes america's biggest sport, played by tall geeks and black homosexuals.
