  • A Brief History of Netball and Our Tactix Legacy
    A Brief History of Netball and our Tactix Legacy What is Netball? “A new game for girls, about which a good deal will probably be heard in the course of the ensuing summer, is basket-ball. It has already swept the United States, completely eclipsing lawn tennis, and effectually nipping in the bud the threatened revival of croquet….The chief beauty of the game is its simplicity, and the fact that no expensive apparatus is required. Wherever two old baskets, a couple of clothes props, and a ball, are there can it be played.” (Otago Witness, 6 May 1897) The Game The game of netball is derived from the early development of basketball in the USA. The origin of basketball is traditionally credited to James Naismith, a 30-year-old Canadian immigrant to the USA, who in 1891, invented an indoor game for young men at the School for Christian Workers (later the YMCA) in Springfield, Massachusetts. The first games of what's now netball were played on a paddock between nine-a-side teams. The rules allowed three bounces, and throws from one end of the field to the other. Baskets were used for goals and after each goal, the ball was tipped out to restart play. Netball was first played in the UK in 1895 at Madame Ostenburg's College. In the first half of the 20th century, Netball's popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many British Commonwealth countries. There were no standard rules at that time with both nine-a-side and five- a-side versions of the game.

  • Regional Team the Suffolk Playoffs Took Place on 7Th March
    Welcome to the April 2020 TNC newsletter! We hope you are all well, and your families safe and healthy. In this edition, we hope to enlighten you with the successes of our teams, and give you some fun and positive things to do while at home! We have competitions, fun and games, exclusive england netball member fitness codes for LRG fitness, and much more! But before all of that, we have some updates from the captains of each of our teams, including a captain’s player from the winter season! Regional team The Suffolk playoffs took place on 7th March. This saw a number of the Cambridge team being selected to make sure Thetford won the space to represent Suffolk in the east region playoff as a squad looking to enter the east regional league in September. For quite a few consecutive years we have won this stage. The first team we took to court against was Suffolk Rockets. For one reason or another, this was a must win game. We were not going to lose to them, in fact, I made it very clear we were going out to thrash them. With some clarity from Gill and the asking that we give 110%, we did not let her or Sue down. We held tight to our players throughout court, forcing them to make mistakes. Defence and centre court players were plucking interceptions from their long balls. The shooting from Emma and Ellie was marvellous and we won convincingly 20-8. We then took on Civil Service. We had a little swap around, bringing on fresh legs.

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.
