Andy Dawson's Netball Resources Website

Why do these pages exist?

OK, so why does a rotund, middle-aged guy with bad knees have a site about Netball?

Basically because it's such a great sport, and because it has seemed so difficult (particularly in the UK) to find good material on it on the web in the past. Also because I've played Netball myself for quite a few years and I get a little bit peeved at all the pages which say "Netball is a women's sport..." - certainly (sadly) it's still thought of as a women's sport but it's recognised for men as well as women and played by quite a few chaps, especially down under... And mixed netball, although not officially recognised by the governing bodies, is great fun and even more common in the UK than the men's game. I and others have been lobbying hard for years to get it officially accepted... now we're about to give up and formally found an independent Mixed Netball Association ourselves as we're so frustrated at the inertia of the "establishment"!

So, these pages are intended as an annotated guide to some of the resources around on the Internet relating to this great game. It's not complete (what web site is?), and it is selective (although I try to include all the halfway-good sites!) but hopefully it will prove useful to you. If you know of any Netball site which you would recommend I add to this list, please contact me with the information and I'll gladly include it. Comments are also welcome - as are offers of friendlies for our mixed team, the MNA Allstars!
