Following a successful program set up by England Netball to increase the amount of netball played in the UK, the sport and its players are now seeing massive rewards come their way. The ‘Back To Netball‘ project, aimed at getting adults to return to their favourite school sport socially, has gone a long way to helping massive numbers of women across Britain pull on the netball bibs once more which in turn has raised the profile of the sport.

The man and boy raise their weapons in salute, before closing to engage. They get each other’s measure for a few seconds before the child darts at the man’s chest with the tip of his black plastic foil. It’s a neatly executed lunge. Under soft yellow light in a primary school hall in Tower Hamlets, east London, eight boys and a girl are learning to fence. Inevitably, there are giggles as the masks go on, and the children have to be discouraged from slashing away at each other’s foils like pirates with cutlasses. Their coach, Hijrat Popal, dissuades them from this waste of energy. He urges them to go in for the kill with an attacking move instead. He makes them pay attention to their footwork, and the children begin to learn this sport’s lessons; poise, co-ordination, agility.

If Fabio Capello is furious about losing his captain while his back was turned he will be incandescent on discovering that John Terry can never even play for him again, which will be the inevitable upshot now that the pack has tasted blood.
