Answer:

No contact which means you can not touch/push/shove your opposition.
Obstruction which means that someone is defending too close, you have to be atleast 3 feet away from the person with the ball while defending.
No Stepping which means you are not allowed to walk/run with the ball.
Playball which is normally the third touch or it means you are not allowed to bounce the ball more than once or toss the ball in the air more than once.
Offside which means you go to a place on a netball court where your not allowed to go.
short pass which means your pass is too short and yu know that its a short pass because your opposition can't intercept the ball because there is not enough room in between the pass.
contact on the ball which means you touch the ball while the opposition has the ball
