==[[Image:Nuvola apps klipper.png|30px]] How to help==
The aim of the project is to collate and develop consistent and attractive articles that are easy to find and read.
;Getting started
* Add articles to the project by adding {{tl|Netball}} to the article's talk page
* Expand and improve existing netball-related articles
* Increase the number of well-written netball-related articles
* Expand the biographies on every woman who has played Test netball

;Further development
* Maintaining [[:Category:Netball]] and sub-category structures
* Developing templates, infoboxes and other tools to help Wikipedia display and make better use of content
* Providing [[Portal:Netball]] and ''[[Current sports events]]'' with up-to-date information for international matches and provincial competitions
* Updating ''[[Recent deaths]]'' and ''[[Current sports events]]'' when notable netballers pass on (As newspaper obituaries are usually written when a netballer dies, it is also an opportunity to write up and improve the Wikipedia article on that player.) 
* Coordinate efforts and peer review articles

[[Image:MalawiFijiNetball.jpg|105px|left]] '''Netball''' is a non-contact, generally indoor [[sport]] similar to, and derived from, [[basketball]]. It is usually known as a [[women's sport]]. It was originally known in its country of origin, the [[United States]], as "women's basketball". Invented in 1895 by [[Clara Gregory Baer]], a pioneer in women's sport, it is now the pre-eminent women's team sport (both as a spectator and participant sport) in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], and is popular in the [[West Indies]], [[Sri Lanka]] and the [[United Kingdom]].

With netball the most popular sport played by women in Australia and New Zealand, both countries have a semi-professional domestic competition receiving wide media coverage. The women's game is played internationally at a high level, with Australia and New Zealand undoubtedly the world's strongest teams; whilst not attracting much public attention, there are representative men's netball teams. Netball involves many technical and physical skills. Players use their height advantage to either shoot for goals or defend them ... ''[[Netball|(more)]]''
