  • La Federación Internacional De Netball
    LA FEDERACIÓN INTERNACIONAL DE NETBALL PAUTAS PARA ESTABLECER UNA ASOCIACIÓN DE NETBALL NUEVA: COMPONENTES BÁSICOS DE UNA CONSTITUCIÓN Introducción El netball es el principal deporte femenino en equipo y mediante la creciente participación, los eventos destacados y la búsqueda de la excelencia en la organización aspira a ser uno de los deportes en equipo más populares y excitantes. La Federación Internacional de Netball (INF, International Netball Federation) lidera el desarrollo del deporte en todo el mundo y sus miembros son las Asociaciones Nacionales de Netball de aquellos países donde el deporte es jugado y está organizado. La INF le da la bienvenida a aquellos individuos o entidades que expresen su interés por establecer una asociación nacional de netball con el objeto de desarrollar este deporte en su país. Cada asociación nacional nueva deberá contar con un documento constituyente que establezca los principios según los cuales la asociación será organizada y gobernada. El documento constituyente deberá tomar en cuenta los intereses de la asociación, de sus miembros y de la comunidad a la cual la asociación brindará sus servicios. Deberá también cumplir con la ley nacional del país en el cual la asociación será establecida. Aquellos que deseen establecer una asociación nacional de netball necesitarán elegir la forma legal apropiada para que dicha asociación adopte (por ejemplo: una asociación sin personería jurídica, una sociedad limitada por garantía, una sociedad de responsabilidad limitada, una asociación benéfica registrada, etc.1). La forma legal de la asociación determinará el tipo de documento constituyente que se requiere y también la estructura de la asociación. Generalmente, una asociación nacional de netball es organizada como una entidad sin fines de lucro y los ingresos de la asociación se usan para administrar las actividades de la organización y apoyar y desarrollar el deporte en toda la nación.

  • A Study of Netball in Scotland
    The historical and contemporary role of physical activity and sport for women: a study of netball in Scotland Elinor Steel Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Stirling January 2020 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis has been composed by myself, and that it embodies the results of my own research. I acknowledge that to the best of my knowledge this thesis contains no material written or published by another person, except where due reference to such is made. Signature: Date: ABSTRACT This thesis examines the area of female physical activity and competitive team sport, in particular, netball as a means to support lifelong female physical activity and participation in sport. This study is the first to investigate the historical and contemporary place of netball and therefore provides a new perspective on Scottish female physical activity and sports participation through netball. The research underpinning this thesis used a mixed methods approach: self- completion survey questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. These methods are supplemented by a review of literature pertaining to the substantive themes that underpin this study (e.g.: sociological and historical aspects of women's sport; critical social and historical analysis of sport in Scotland; the development of netball in Scotland). This thesis also utilises important data collected via survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The survey questionnaires were completed by 143 women over 16 years of age who have played and/or coached netball. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 women to explore in greater depth individuals’ personal accounts of netball alongside a range of topics outlined in the survey questionnaire.

  • “Gateway to the Sideline”: Brand Communication on Social Media at Large-Scale Sporting Events
    “GATEWAY TO THE SIDELINE”: BRAND COMMUNICATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AT LARGE-SCALE SPORTING EVENTS Portia Vann Bachelor of Media and Communication (Hons.), Bachelor of Business (Marketing) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Media Research Centre Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Social media, sport, netball, soccer, football, digital media, branding, sport communications, sport media “Gateway to the Sideline”: Brand communication on social media at large-scale sporting events i Abstract Social media platforms have become an essential component of a transmedia sport experience for fans. This has significant implications for sport organisations, which now need to strategically incorporate social media platforms into a communications plan alongside their traditional media counterparts. The emergence of social media as a popular form of communication in sport also provides opportunities for sport organisations, as they no longer rely on one-way methods of distribution through mainstream media platforms, and instead can connect with fans directly via social media. Initially, sport organisations took an ad hoc approach to social media strategy, yet as the use of social media in sport becomes increasingly normalised, and the affordances of social media platforms present opportunities to engage with new and existing sport fans, approaches to social media communications have become more strategic. Existing research has examined many aspects of the role social media plays in the transmedia sport experience, from the perspectives of fans and organisations. However, the approaches and strategies social media teams use within sport organisations remain largely unexamined from an inside perspective. Thus, the aim of this research is to document exactly how sport organisations use social media for communication, the motivations and considerations behind this use, and the tensions between sport fans and organisations that arise on social media surrounding the discussion of sport.

LE11 3QF www.ournetballhistory.org.uk EARLY BEGININGS 1891 • Game invented in USA by a YMCA Secretary, where it was then, and is now, called Basketball. First match recorded in America1900 (Boston) 1895 • Visit of Dr Justin Toles, an American, to Madam Österberg’s Physical Training College (then at Hampstead). Students were taught Basket Ball - indoors – there were no printed rules - no lines, circles or boundaries. The goals were two waste paper baskets hung on walls at each end of the hall. • Within Madame Bergman Österberg’s Report, dated 1895 the following was recorded : Basket Ball is an American game introduced into our College by Dr Toles ; its aim is to get the ball into the opponents’ basket or goal, the basket being placed at a height of about seven or eight feet. The play is entirely with the hands, and no player is allowed to hold the ball for more than 5 seconds. It is a good winter game and can be played by any number. We played a few games in the gymnasium under Dr Toles’ supervision. 1897 • Game played out of doors on grass. An American lady paid a visit to the College (who moved to Dartford), and taught the game as then played by women in America. • The students at Dartford introduced rings instead of baskets, the large ball and the division of the ground into three courts. • After completing the physical training course, graduates of the college were virtually guaranteed employment in girls’ schools throughout the country, with an ample yearly salary of £100! 1900 • The newly formed Ling Association (now the Physical Education Association) set up a sub-committee 1901 to revise and publish the first set of rules, 250 copies were published and many changes were adopted.

Zone of Proximal Development and Scaffolding By Saul McLeod (saul-mcleod.html), updated 2019 McLeod, S.A.(2019).What Is the Zone of Proximal Development? Retrieved from https://www.simplypsychology.org/Zone-of-ProximalDevelopment.html The zone of proximal development refers to the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can achieve with guidance and encouragement from a skilled partner. Thus, the term “proximal” refers to those skills that the learner is “close” to mastering. Vygotsky's Definition of ZPD The concept, zone of proximal development was developed by Soviet psychologist and social constructivist Lev Vygotsky (vygotsky.html) (1896 – 1934). The zone of proximal development (ZPD) has been defined as: "the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers" (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 86). Vygotsky believed that when a student is in the zone of proximal development for a particular task, providing the appropriate assistance will give the student enough of a "boost" to achieve the task.

  • Netball Is a Ball Sport Played by Two Teams of Seven Players
    Netball is a ball sport played by two teams of seven players. Its development, derived from early versions of basketball, began in England in the 1890s. By 1960, international playing rules had been standardised for the game, and the International Federation of Netball and Women's Basketball (later renamed the International Netball Federation (INF)) was formed. As of 2011, the INF comprises more than 60 national teams organized into five global regions. Games are played on a rectangular court with raised goal rings at each end. Each team attempts to score goals by passing a ball down the court and shooting it through its goal ring. Players are assigned specific positions, which define their roles within the team and restrict their movement to certain areas of the court. During general play, a player with the ball can hold onto it for only three seconds before shooting for a goal or passing to another player. The winning team is the one that scores the most goals. Netball games are 60 minutes long. Variations have been developed to increase the game's pace and appeal to a wider audience. Netball is most popular in Commonwealth nations, specifically in schools, and is predominantly played by women. According to the INF, netball is played by more than 20 million people in more than 80 countries. Major transnational competitions take place, including the Netball Superleague in Great Britain and the ANZ Championship in Australia and New Zealand. Three major competitions take place internationally: the quadrennial World Netball Championships, the Commonwealth Games, and the yearly World Netball Series.
