Bring Netball into the Olympics
We would like the Government to speak to the International Olympic Committee about adding netball to the Olympic games. We have all played netball since we were in year three and since then we have played and trained netball at high standards. We would love to see netballers reach Team GB.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is a decision for the International Olympic Committee.

Background
Students at many schools enjoy being able to expand their career in netball. Other sports will be in the Olympics, and the sports enjoyed will be showcased.
Other elite athletes get to train and get to compete in the Olympics but netball players only have the leagues, cups and titles. Other sports teams get to compete in the leagues, cups AND the Olympics. It is unfair that other sports get more opportunities.
Netball, like many other sports, is beneficial to your physical and mental health.
