Netball

[roseboy64]

It's played in most of the cricket playing countries. I want to know how big it is in the respective countries, such as how much support is given by crowds and the like.

well here in the UK its very much a girls game, very few men play it, very small crowds, not very popular really.

I guess its not really that big only gets coverage during the olympics etc... but we have to play it at school during the summer so

 

[roseboy64]

Everybody?

 

[Piper]

Everybody?

All the girls at our school have to play netball every year

 

[roseboy64]

Ok. Just checking.

 

[sledger]

boys at my school never even get the chance to play it, its not one of the options, they have to do one of the more masculin sports i suppose

 

[roseboy64]

I would expect.

[Langeveldt]

Most of the girls I know hate playing it.. Very minority in the UK

We used to have to play it at primary school, as well as plastic stick hockey (I was goalie) & rounders (My speciality was to set up as a right hander then shift just before the throw to my left, batting, hand and knock it where there weren't any fielders.). My little sis is a 2ndary school rep at it but that isn't saying all that much because it's only a state school.

Netball is the most participated in sport in Australia now, obviously more in the female category

it still cant make it onto commercial TV though
