Okay, I need a little help with this one - since I have only figured out three of the four answers....

What four sports use a net but not a ball?

(I will reveal the answers I know as they are guessed)

Hockey is one.

Ice hockey...is the thing used in badminton called a ball in English?

Several sports use a net as protection around the athlete, such as discus, hammer and shot put, but I suppose these nets doesn't count?

Fishing?

And Aqua hockey, do they use nets for their goals? Or maybe it counts as a subtype of hockey.

@Gwally: Catching butterflies?

@Gwally - correct

@CE - possible, I am now stumped. I had ice hockey, badminton and fishing. Doesn't Nippy play aqua hockey? (or octopush is it?)

Any nets in Track and field?

High jump?
Long jump?

Fishing counts as a sport? It must be either an English or a Canadian test

Yes, Nippy plays aqua hockey

@Weasel: Can't think of anything in track and field...nor swimming, biking, equestrian(sp?).

@Gwally: Downhill skiing uses net, but only to catch the athletes...

Fixation? I have no idea what you are talking about...

I am fairly sure you use a ball in Lacrosse...what about male swimmers in net suits?

I must not make any comments involving fishnet stockings and CE's apparent fascination with nets...
