Q: Can men play netball?

A: Yes! In fact, for the 2015 Netball America annual tournament in Dallas, Tx, the Houston Shooting Stars was represented by both an all female and a mixed team. Specific rules apply to the number of males that can be on the court in a particular section at one time. However, we encourage both male and female netball players and umpires to participate at Houston Shooting Stars netball club.
