Goal Shooter (G.S.), Goal Attack (G.A.), Wing Attack (W.A.), Centre (C.), Wing Defence (W.D.), Goal Defence (G.D.) and Goal Keeper (G.K.) in Netball. Second objective of the study was to compare Speed among three Different Levels (District, State and National) of Netball Players. Third objective of the study was to find out the interactions of Different Playing Positions and Different Levels in relation to Speed of Netball Players. The study was conducted by taking Speed as a variable. Seven playing positions of Netball players were selected Goal shooter, Goal Attack, Wing Attack, Centre, Wing Defence, Goal Defence and Goal Keeper.
