Racerback vs Standard Back
Your first choice is between racerback or standard back.
In netball, the terms "racerback" and "standard back" are used to describe the design of the back of a netball dress.
A standard back netball dress is designed with two shoulder straps that run parallel to each other and connect at the top of the back. The back of the dress is generally cut straight across the middle of the back.
A racerback netball dress, on the other hand, is designed with two shoulder straps that join together at the back in a V-shape, exposing more of the shoulder blades and upper back. The straps are set wider apart and usually meet at a point between the shoulder blades.
The key difference between these two designs is the amount of freedom and mobility they provide to the arms and shoulders.
The racerback design allows for a greater range of motion in the shoulders, which can be beneficial for players who require a lot of upper body movement and flexibility.
The standard back design, while less mobile, offers more support and coverage for the back and shoulders.
Overall, the choice between a racerback and standard back netball dress is a matter of personal preference and may depend on the specific needs and playing style of the individual player or team.
