With less than a year to go before they attempt to defend their Commonwealth Games title in Birmingham, the England netball team face a <\/span>tough home challenge against Jamaica<\/span><\/a>, starting this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Caribbean side will face the Roses in <\/span>three games<\/span><\/a>, beginning with a fixture on November 28<\/span>th<\/span> at London\u2019s <\/span>Copperbox<\/span> Arena. The sides will then meet twice at the <\/span>Motorpoint<\/span> Arena in Nottingham, on December 4<\/span>th<\/span> and 5<\/span>th<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fans will no doubt travel from all over England to see the matches and <\/span>many will be inspired to play more themselves. Fans in the north of England could take up <\/span>Manchester netball classes<\/span> <\/span>to seek o emulate local stars like former England player and then coach Tracey Neville, sister of former Manchester United footballers Phil and Gary.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jamaica series had been scheduled for earlier this year, but had been postponed due to <\/span>Covid<\/span> restrictions. However, both sides will find the matches invaluable as they look to tune up ahead of the Games in Birmingham.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance Director\u00a0at\u00a0England Netball David Parsons said: \u201cWe are delighted to be\u00a0getting our\u00a0national\u00a0team\u00a0back on court for\u00a0fans to\u00a0see\u00a0whilst giving our players and coaching team vital time together.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

It is not just the upcoming matches or the big event next year that may help bring new players and fans into the sport. Efforts are also being made to make the sport more socially diverse. <\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the <\/span>Ilford Recorder<\/span><\/a> reported on how <\/span>Ziana<\/span> Butt, who became the first player of Pakistani heritage to play for England in 2019<\/span> when she represented the under-19s<\/span>, has co-authored a book with her mother <\/span>Niala<\/span>, aimed at getting more south Asian girls into the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aisha\u2019s Netball is the story of a girl who wins <\/span>a netball<\/span> at school and follows her journey into joining a netball club and discovering a whole new world of fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a world many girls in Manchester and elsewhere can discover for themselves in real life. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
