We have emailed the famous netball player Julie Corletto

Hi

Hope you're well.

 

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you I have had computer and email issues.

 

Question 1:what are the advntages on netball?

I love the game. It's fun, it keeps you fit and healthy. You can make some great friends and learn so many things from the game.

 

 

Question 2:what are the disavantages of netball?

I wish I could be a professional athlete like many male dominated sports, however we are on the way to being that way one day hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

 

Question 3:what do these advatages and disavatages do to the community?

Netball is great for our community. It gets people out and about being active on mailing Saturday mornings. It keeps you fit and healthy and elite Netballers are positive role models for the sport in our community. A disadvantage in our community…. I don't think I can think of a real disadvantage of Netball in our community, I may be a little biase.

 

 

 

Question 4:how does this impact you? 

I love the game and love to see everyone in our community getting involved in the game in someway. There is so many ways people can get involved and it's great to see.

 

All the best.

The History of Netball

The history of netball can be traced to the early development of basketball. A year after basketball was invented in 1891, the sport was modified for women to accommodate social conventions regarding their participation in sport, giving rise to women's basketball. Variations of women's basketball arose across the United States and in England. At a physical training college in England, the rules of women's basketball were modified over several years to form an entirely new sport: "net ball". The first codified rules of netball were published at the start of the twentieth century, and from there the new sport spread throughout the British Empire.
From the beginning, netball was widely accepted as a sport suitable for women. Domestic netball competitions arose in several countries during the first half of the 20th century. Starting from the 1920s, national associations were formed to organise the sport in netball-playing nations. International matches were played sporadically in the early 20th century, but were hampered by varying rules in different countries.
By 1960, the rules of netball were standardised internationally. An international governing body was formed to oversee the sport globally, now called the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA). The second half of the 20th century saw international competition expand, with the sport's premier international competition, the Netball World Championships, starting in 1963. Netball has also been contested at the Commonwealth Games since 1998.
Today, netball is popular in Commonwealth nations, and is reportedly played by over 20 million people worldwide. It remains primarily a women's sport, although male participation is increasing in some countries. Netball is still largely an amateur sport, despite some countries having high local-level participation. Further developments to the sport are being trialled, including a shortened version of the game played in a World Series format; netball is also being advocated for possible inclusion in the Olympic Games.
