A full match lasts for one hour and in a single match often about 100 goals are scored, which shows what a fast­paced and exciting game netball is!Netball is usually played by women and girlsHowever, at many universities, there are mixed netball leagues in which teams must have both men and women playersIn the UK, there are many different ways of trying to encourage people to play netballOne such way is called “Back to Netball”，which encourages women who have not played netball since they were at school to rediscover their love for the sport! Walking netball is another form of the sport aimed at older women and those who want to exercise in a gentler waySo, why not watch a video of netball online and then have a go for
