Tel: (209) 946 2981 Email: [email protected] 1 The UK Netball Superleague: A Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport Abstract This paper draws on theories of franchising in examining the emergence of the UK Netball Superleague in 2005. The focus of the paper is to explore the development of an empowered franchise framework as part of England Netball's elite performance strategy and the consequences of the Superleague for player performance, team success, and commercial potential of the franchises. The findings from 22 in-depth interviews conducted between 2008-2011 with franchise personnel and sport media/marketing consultants inform the discussion. The paper further comments on the implications of the empowered franchise system for developing NGB elite performance strategies. Introduction Emerging in the late 19th century as a sport “initially designed and traditionally administered as an activity for promoting appropriate forms of femininity” (Tagg, 2008, p 410), Netball is played by more than 20 million people in over 80 nations across the globe (INFA, 2011). It is an invasion ball game predominantly played by girls and women between teams of 7 players.

  • Project Overview and Methodology
    Project Overview and Methodology o what are our national sporting organisations, federal and state government departments, human rights and anti-discrimination agencies and non-government Sbodies doing to combat racism and prejudice in sport? And what steps have been taken to develop an inclusive, non-discriminatory culture within sport by players, spectators and the broader viewing public? To find an answer to this, over the past six months the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) has been working on a project funded by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to conduct a survey of these different groups to see what strategies and projects have been put in place to achieve these goals. Project outline The following activities were undertaken as part of this project. l An audit of the existing strategies that have been adopted by selected sporting organisations, codes, government and non-government sports’ agencies and human right institutions, both domestically and internationally (selective), to combat racism and prejudice within sport. Included in this audit are those strategies that utilise sporting events and/or sportspeople to convey a message of cultural inclusion and non-discrimination directed to sporting spectators and the broader viewing public. This audit will identify gaps in the existing strategies and identify potential new strategies. l Gather available baseline data in relation to the level of participation by Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities in sport. l Consult broadly with relevant organisations to expand on available material in this area. l Provide the audit report as a basis for DIAC to consider future policy strategies aimed at both addressing racism within sport, as well as promoting an inclusive and non- discriminatory attitude by players, supporters and the broader viewing public.

  • Sport History
    Coomera Indoor Sports Netball Centre (CSC) Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCE) Sport History Netball Origins and the sport today: Derived from early versions of basketball, netball began in England in the 1890s. By the start of the 20th century, the first set of rules were published and the game’s popularity began to grow as it was played in many British Commonwealth countries. In 1960, representatives from England, Australia, NZ and South Africa established the International Federation of Women’s Basketball and Netball – now known as the International Netball Federation (INF). However, it wasn’t until 1970 that Australia and New Zealand adopted the name netball, as they previously called it women’s basketball. The first World Netball Championship took place in Eastbourne, England, in 1963 and has been played every four years. The tournament was renamed Netball World Cup in 2015. Netball at the Commonwealth Games: Netball is one of 10 core sports at the Commonwealth Games, meaning it has to be included on the program. The other nine are aquatics (diving and swimming), athletics, badminton, boxing, hockey, lawn bowls, rugby sevens, squash and weightlifting. Netball is a women-only sport and first appeared at the Commonwealth Games at Kuala Lumpur 1998. Australia and New Zealand have dominated the dais, with three gold and two gold respectively. England and Jamaica have won bronze medals, but are still to make a final. With the exception of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games final, won by Australia 58-40, the battle for gold between Australia and New Zealand has generally been a close one.
