The game of basketball began in 1871 by Dr James Naismith in the USA. Initially physical
education for girls was non-existent as they did not need to be trained to become leaders
in business or the government or military like boys. (Brown, 2004, p.10).
Social constraints restricted women to playing sports where
they could continue to be fully dressed and not break out in a
sweat, however, the turn to the 20th century saw womens
team sport become more popular, although it was still
frowned upon by some (Wuest & Fisette, 2015, pp.122-123).
In 1895 the English women were using broomsticks for posts
and wet paper bags for baskets and played the game on
grass. Women wore clothing that restricted running and arm
movements and therefore the game had to be adapted to consider these restrictions.
Therefore the court was divided into thirds and the number of players increased from 5 to
9 to minimize running. A smaller ball was also used. The net was also not open at both
ends which meant that the umpire had to retrieve the ball after a goal was scored. The
rules for netball were first published in England in 1901. Netball or Ladies Basketball
was introduced to different countries by the English school teachers where the game
developed uniquely in each different country. The Australia Womens Basketball
Associated was formed in 1927 and the first National Championships was held in
Melbourne in 1928. The name was not changed to netball until 1970 in Australia and New
Zealand. An Australian team toured New Zealand after the war had finished in 1948.
Australia had adapted the game to play with seven-a-side, although New Zealand played
with nine-a-side until 1956. Australia was the first team to travel overseas to visit
England. Australia had to adapt to the rules of England, but won despite. An international
code of rules which were to be trialed were created in 1957. The first world tournament
was held in 1963 in England and Australia was undefeated. Netball first became part of
the commonwealth games in 1998. (History of Netball n.d.). The uniforms have
adapted over time to suit what was acceptable during each era. Over time the length of
the skirt shortened, the stockings were swapped for socks, the materials used became
lighter and finer, sports briefs replaced bloomers, tunics were replaced with skirts and
polo tops, bibs for identifying positions were introduced, the fitting of the polo shirts
changed to match the era, the bodysuit was introduced in the mid 90s and the most
recent adaptation has been the change of the bodysuit material. (Development of
Uniforms n.d.). Netball is continuing to evolve, with the introduction of new rules this
year.

such as you throw like a girl implies that girls cannot throw as well as boys and
therefore is insulting to girls (Brown, 2016). There is strong evidence that
improving girls self-esteem and confidence will improve their participation in
physical activity (Video).

the Australian government expenditure on sport was $5.7 million which rose to
$31.2 million by 1984. This shows the growing awareness of the need to fund
elite sports. The drive behind the funding is that Australia is promoted as a
competitive economy and to advertise Australia as a successful country to
encourage tourists to seek to spend their time and money here. The funding also
means that athletes can benefit from the best training facilities, top-quality
sports scientists, psychologists and coaches. However, with the benefits of elite
sport funding comes the social costs. Pressure to perform well is likely to be felt
by all athletes which may cause some to use banned performance enhancing
drugs. Athletes may also feel pressure to have the ideal body, which may cause
them to go to excessive measures. An example of this is the AIS gymnastic
program monitors the gymnasts weight closely and if a gymnast put on 200
grams they would be forced to run and do sit-ups to burn it off. This pressure
caused many girls to become bulimic, even resulting in the death of a gymnast
in 1995 (Kirk et al., 1996, pp.182-186). My concern is; are physical education
programs within schools and communities being funded fairly in conjunction with
elite sports, or is elite sport being idolised? Is elite sport being seen as more
important than promoting physical education to all?
