Скачать или смотреть Boys Playing Netball - Behind the News

It's often seen as a female sport but now Netball South Australia is trying to encourage more boys to give Netball a go. It's launched a boy's academy program and there are plans for a four-team competition.
Unlike the girls there's no competition for boys aged 12 to 16. But that's something Netball South Australia is hoping to change. This year they launched a new boys academy. Next month, the first ever Junior Boys M League for 12 to 16-year olds will launch.
But despite how much some guys love the game; Netball SA says that the biggest challenge will be getting more boys involved. They say that a lot of people often associate netball as a game for just the girls, including some of the friends of these guys.
Netball SA says that netball is a sport that can be played by anyone and that it doesn't matter whether you're a girl or a boy just as long as you love playing it. But what do you think? Would you like to see more boys take to the netball courts?
