In England, netball has been popular enough to be included as part of the physical education curriculum.^[1] Its inclusion had been at times controversial; during the 1910s and 1920s, schools worried about the potential negative impact of physical exercise like netball participation on the health of girls.^[2]

Below is a list including some of the top performances for the English national netball team:

1998 Commonwealth Games: 3rd place^[3]
2002 Commonwealth Games: 4th place^[3]
2005 World Youth Netball Championship: 2nd place^[3]

As of January 2011, the women's national team was ranked number three in the world.^[4]
