Tess, there isn't a drunken, screaming netballer in the world that would have made me not want to ... continue.
C.J. Duggan (The Boys of Summer (Summer, #1))
There is no gray when you’re young. There’s only goodies and baddies, right and wrong. The rules are very clear—a playground morality of ethical lines drawn out like a netball pitch, with clear fouls and penalties.
Ruth Ware (In a Dark, Dark Wood)
What do you know? This is where it all began,” he said. “Began?” “This is exactly where I was when I wanted to kiss you,” he whispered, his lips brushing along my neck causing me to melt under his touch. “So bad.” “Except this time there’s no drunk netballer squawking at us,” I teased. “I wouldn’t care if the seven horseman of the Apocalypse charged through the garden right now, nothing’s gonna stop me from doing this.” He leaned down and captured my lips with tenderness, a completely perfect kiss, like it always was.

Ruth Ware (In a Dark, Dark Wood)
At its best – and I love a nice frock – fashion is a game. But for women, it’s a compulsory game, like netball. And you can’t get out of it by faking a period. I know. I’ve tried.
Caitlin Moran (How to Be a Woman)
There is no grey when you’re young. There’s only goodies and baddies, right and wrong. The rules are very clear – a playground morality of ethical lines drawn out like a netball pitch, with clear fouls and penalties.
Ruth Ware (In a Dark, Dark Wood)
Everyone gawks as my good girl mask shatters into a thousand pieces, leaving a trail from the netball court to the staff room.
Louise Bassett (The Hidden Girl)
Netball is great for people with a fear of commitment.
Shane Rodgers (Tall People Don't Jump: The curious behaviour of human beings)
Like netball, special casualness is not an area in which I am a high achiever but no one ever got anywhere without trying.
Clare Strahan (The Learning Curves of Vanessa Partridge)
I saw everything crumble around me, every single daydream of wandering through the grammar school cloisters citing poetry, of my parents wiping tears away as I went up on a platform to receive yet another prize for Debating Skills or Most Graceful Netball Player, of sitting in the garden of our new bungalow being applauded by my Aunties and Uncles as the first family member to win a university scholarship and meet a future husband on the same day - all that potential, all that hope, all gone because I made friends once with Anita Rutter.
Meera Syal (Anita and Me)
Then there was one girl I met who would invent stories for why she always had bandages around her arms. She’d claim she was attacked by a cat, fell on a piece of glass in the playground, or sprained her wrist playing netball. She told me that every day, she’d make sure she fell over in front of everyone, just so she could develop a reputation for being a klutz and thereby make her injuries seem more believable. She was 12 years old.

B. Hellard (Defend to the End (Netball Gems #4))
One long-serving member notes with derision that his leader’s office sends out points for use in the weekly period when MPs make short ninety-second statements in the parliament about electoral matters. The only challenge here is how you, for example, get “We have stopped the boats” into a contribution noting the success of one of your local netball teams in the regional comp.
Laura Tingle (Political Amnesia: How We Forgot How to Govern (Quarterly Essay #60))
avoided anything that might make me feel worse,” she said. “I was afraid.” No inflection. No emotion. As if she was reading someone else’s story from a sheet of paper. “I quit netball. I quit my postgrad degree. I stopped going out with my friends. I didn’t stay up late because sleep was too precious. I refused to make plans because I never knew when my body might force me to change them. My friends disappeared one by one. I suppose my problems made them feel guilty.” “And your fiancé?” Red asked softly. “Oh, Henry,” she laughed. “He lost patience almost immediately. He didn’t believe me.
Talia Hibbert (Get a Life, Chloe Brown (The Brown Sisters, #1))
What makes a bad coach? They don't study the current live game that is playing to know what to do. They always study previous games. Come with a plan and no matter what. They stick to that plan. They are not checking if the plan will work on the current game or match.
D.J. Kyos
A pseudo ideology is a petulant, infantile demand that you should have the right to put my life at risk because of your gender. Dwarfs don’t make good netball players; six-foot-six guys who weigh eighteen stone are not good for dancing the part of Princess Odette in Swan Lake. They also make crap jockeys. So maybe the lifelong dream of the dwarf was to be a netball player, and maybe the muscle-bound giant always wanted to be a ballet dancer, or a jockey. That’s tough shit. It’s life. It doesn’t make society anti-dwarf or anti-giant, and a campaign to force netball teams to accept a percentage of dwarfs, and ballet companies to accept a percentage of giant men to dance women’s roles, would be stupid. That would be a pseudo ideology.

Thalia Kalkipsakis (Netball Dreams (Go Girl!))
Hitler was head of the catchily-named Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers’ Party). But, like the Cambridge University Netball Team, he hadn’t thought through the name properly. You see, his opponents realised that you could shorten Nationalsozialistische to Nazi. Why would they do this? Because Nazi was already an (utterly unrelated) term of abuse. It had been for years. Every culture has a butt for its jokes. Americans have the Polacks, the English have the Irish, and the Irish have people from Cork. The standard butt of German jokes at the beginning of the twentieth century were stupid Bavarian peasants. And just as Irish jokes always involve a man called Paddy, so Bavarian jokes always involved a peasant called Nazi. That’s because Nazi was a shortening of the very common Bavarian name Ignatius. This meant that Hitler’s opponents had an open goal. He had a party filled with Bavarian hicks and the name of that party could be shortened to the standard joke name for hicks.

I work for a company called stagecoach when im not at school. I assist teaching 3-8 year olds for a total or 6-8 hours a week and I enjoy this very much. In this role I assist in teaching the children singing, Dancing and acting. I also volunteer at sports clubs at school helping younger years. I also regularly assist in teaching tumbling to children aged 4+ in cheerleading. At the moment I am doing Netball hockey and cheerleading outside of school and I enjoy these a lot. I enjoy working with children very much and I find watching them learn and grow incredible. When I and older I would love to work with children wether that’s teaching or nursing I don’t know.
