Netball in England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In England, netball has been popular enough to be included as part of the physical education curriculum.[1] Its inclusion had been at times controversial; during the 1910s and 1920s, schools worried about the potential negative impact of physical exercise like netball participation on the health of girls.[2]
