I'm lookig for boys netball teams in the Wales and West region for under 15's because I love netball and I'm not being big headed but I'm quite good at it. I've been Powys champion twice with 2 different schools. Please someone help.

Now that is just tight, I play it because I enjoy the game, not because I'm any of the above.

simple mistake to make and the best people can be "person" enough to accept they did. but hey boys can play "girls" sports and girls can play "boys" sports. anyone who says either can't are being really stupid and sexist. back in secondry school we played a all girls school at basketball and they were tougher than some all boys teams but we did manage to beat them in the end. very good match though

well said that doctor i would have said it eventually but with a few more *bleeps* :) feminism in my opinion is mainly just a whole load of hypocriticism. there are things which i agree with women should get equal pay if they do the same amount of work no question bout that and they should also be treated the same in society but then why aren't they campaigning for equal rights when it comes to custody of children just to name one thing. as soon as a man and woman walk into the room it's 70-30 in the womans favour. now where's the equality in that huh? where's all these feminists burning their bras for that huh? answer = nowhere cause they happy to have equal rights in things they downtrodden in but when it comes to things they have upper hand in they don't want to know.
now this getting a bit too boring for me i've argued this whole thing loads of times and all i get called is a chauvanist which probably means i'm right seeing as they can't chuck a decent argument back at me so back to basketball then

Whatever the thing was about she'd have to destroy it all, you could tell everyone else in the studio just gave up any hope of being able to debate anything except feminism. Again.

You are totally out of order making those kinds of accusations against people who've done absolutely nothing wrong, discriminatory, or anything else. Just because we prefer basketball.
You have absolutely no right to say those things about anybody here.

my opinion - basketball better than netball

now please oh please tell me where's the discrimination in that
and also when i'm playing in basketball matches for my team we're zipping the ball about really fast and in 24 seconds when we've had our shot at the basket we've probably strung at the very least 25 passes together. that is if the opposition is any good and can't be broken down easily.

Netball is fast paced when your running off the ball and that takes alot of skill. Plus the best team will almost be physchic. They can anticipate where the ball will be passed next and then who's on the move to get the next pass. Our team was so fast that every 5 seconds we had usually made 5-6 passes. Not bad Huh! And plus one of my sister's is in the sixth form and half the boys in the sixth form prefer and play better netball then basketball and my sister prefers basketball.
What you lot are saying is like football is an all boys sport when everybody knows it isn't, or only old people play bowls. It's discrimanative so you should be ashamed of yourself.
