----------

[Netball rules](/wiki/Rules_of_netball "Rules of netball") do not permit players to let their landing foot touch the ground again if it is lifted at all while in possession of the ball, so players can take  steps while holding the ball. Pivoting does not count as a step. Players are entitled to balance on the other foot if the landing foot is lifted. An infraction of this rule is usually called *traveling* (or *steps*) as in basketball. 

[IFNA](/wiki/IFNA "IFNA") Rule 14\.3 states:
*A player in possession of the ball may not:\-*
*(i) drag or slide the landing foot;*
*(ii) hop on either foot;*
*(iii) jump from both feet and land on both feet unless the ball has been released before landing.*

A free pass is awarded to the opposing team where the infringement occurred.
