Melbourne, Australia (PressExposure) August 20, 2010 -- Netball's popularity has skyrocketed over the past two decades, with it being in the top five sports in Australia in terms of overall participation. There are a number of reasons for this ranging from health benefits to social interaction.
Netball essentially brings people together because there is nothing quite as effective as building a bond between people than the need to work together to achieve a common goal, in this case beating the opposing team.
Netball also offers significant health benefits as it is a great way for people to get fit while having a lot of fun. The game is quite fast with people constantly on the move, making it a great alternative to a boring gym routine since a player can burn as much as 400 calories in a single game.
Netball requires one to sharpen their physical as well as their mental skills. The game, by its very nature, requires the team to work together and employ strategic thinking to be able to score more goals and win the game. This is what makes it an ideal choice for companies who wish to work on team building exercises, as it teaches people that they can only win if they work together as a team.
Melbourne Netball is the leading Australian specialist in social netball that operates from a number of venues across Melbourne. Their umpire service is second to none and they also provide excellent umpire courses that are far better than anything the state system can offer. Additionally, they offer a matchmaking service helping to place new players into suitable teams and thus far they have been highly successful in matching up the right individual with the right team.
