  • 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.

    ALL ENGLAND NETBALL ASSOCIATION A History of Netball in England Through the Ages - To Present Day England Netball, Sports Park, 3 Oakwood Drive, Loughborough, Leicestershire. 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.

  • Annual Report 2012-2013
    Annual Report 2012-2013 1 Welcome to 2013 Netball South – AGM Chairman – Monica Vaughan A big thank you to the Members of the Regional Board, Technical Support groups, Regional Manager, Regional Co- ordinator and the personnel within our Counties for the time and devotion they have given to developing netball in our region. We had a number of new members on the Regional Board this year and they had a baptism by fire - unfortunately due to other commitments two of our elected board members had to resign. We co-opted two members, myself as Chair and Carol Williams who chaired the Officiating TSG. This year Sue Baldwin is stepping down from the Board but will still be involved in the Performance Technical Support Group a big thanks to Sue who has contributed so much over the years. The Region has a number of Technical Support Groups (TSG’s) and these are chaired by members of the Regional Management Board: Officers – Monica Vaughan Finance – Phyllis Avery Competitions – Carol Alexander Performance – Phyllis Avery Coaching – vacant Officiating – Carol Williams Communication & Events – Kelly Whittaker We also have a new role that sits outside the board and reports into the Officers Group and this is the Disciplinary Secretary, Janice Treasure. We are always looking for people to get involved in the Technical Support Groups and it’s an ideal way to get involved in a specific area of interest. At the EGM held earlier in the year we changed our constitution, recognising that it takes at least a year for new board members to learn about the activities that the Regional Management Board get involved in we extended the term of office for up to 3 years.
