Netball in Zimbabwe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Netball in Zimbabwe is viewed as a feminine sport and it is particularly popular in Zimbabwe.[1] The country has few netball facilities, as soccer is much more popular in the country.[2] At the same time, women's sports like netball get less government support because they are sports for women.[3]
Netball is one of several sports that have replaced traditional games in the region as the country began to globalize.[4] Some women played netball when they were younger.[5][6] The Orphans and Vulnerable Children Project is involved in participating in netball games in the country.[7]
In 1956, an English team toured the Southern Rhodesia. It was their first touring side and all team members had to pay their own airfare.[8][9]
The country has a national netball team.[10]
