How does agility help in netball?

Agility helps in Netball because it is a fast paced game with many quick changes of direction. If the game changes direction suddenly then a player needs to be able to stop, turn and run in the other direction as quickly as possible. Agility is also helpful if a player intercepts the ball because they need to be able to land, pivot and then throw the ball off to one of their team mates before heading back up the court to their goal end.
