Which of the following is NOT considered physical contact that could limit a player's ability to move freely?

Providing support to a teammate is not considered physical contact that limits a player’s ability to move freely. In netball, providing support is a strategic action where a player positions themselves to assist their teammate, whether it be by offering a passing option or displaying a defensive presence. This type of interaction enhances team dynamics and does not impede the freedom of movement for either the supporting player or the teammate receiving assistance.

In contrast, aggressive pushing, hitting another player, and knocking the ball from an opponent's hands are actions that involve physical contact and can restrict players' movement on the court. These actions can lead to penalties for the offending player, as they disrupt the flow of the game and can create unfair advantages or hazardous situations for other players.
