High 5 provides the link between first step netball and the full 7 a side rules.The rules have been modified to allow players greater freedom around the court and to give them more time in which to make their decisions and to act upon them. The game encourages maximum participation from those involved and introduces the roles of scorers, timekeepers and centre pass markers.

 - 5 players on court per squad with the other squad members filling the roles of scorers, timekeepers and centre pass markers.

 - The match consists of 4 x 6 minutes with 2 minutes rest at each quarter to rehydrate and rotate positions.
 - Players use a size 4 ball
 - Players have 4 seconds to pass or shoot
 - The post height is 9ft.
