An American variation on the English girls' sport of netball. Netball is somewhat challenging as it places an emphasis upon throwing accuracy by forcing participants to stay on the spot in which they take possession of the ball. These rules were relaxed to allow the less-skilled-than-English-girls American players to run with the ball.
Chap number one: What-ho, Jeremy! The Yanks are playing netball!
Chap number two: Goodness, no, Cedric, that is one of their sports, they call it basketball - look, no gals and the rules are relaxed!
Chap number one: Bless their cotton socks.
