What is Fast5 Netball? Rules and format

In the Fast5 format of netball, teams are made up of five players, rather than the standard seven.

The match length is shorter, with games split into four six-minute quarters.

Unlimited substitutions are also allowed throughout a match from the 'substitution box'.

When it comes to scoring, there are three different zones: worth one, two and three points, respectively. 

After a goal is scored, the team that did not score takes the centre pass, unlike the traditional alternating centre pass rules.
