Shooting when mid-jump
Just wondering if you are able to put up a shot when both feet are off the ground, in mid-jump. I am coaching boys and curious to know if they are able to "slam-dunk" in netball so to speak. I know that touching the ring in any way is not allowed but is the goal valid if scored when the player doesn't have contact with the ground? Thank you

Yes you can score without your feet on the ground (just have to look at the old style of Gretal Tippet of the Firebirds to see it in action). It is not the taught way though as the ring is too small and with no back board there isn`t a great deal of accuracy in the action, but it is allowed.
