Nevaeh's Speech-"Netball is Better Than Rugby"

Hi my name is Nevaeh and I’m Arguing that

         Netball is better than Rugby?    

Yes, I think netball is better than rugby because it is not messy at all.

Firstly, I think netball is way better than rugby because you don’t get hurt as much. There are so many accidents involving rugby players. Rugby is a brutal, violent, rough game. Rules do not change like rugby rules do. You can always tell if a goal is scored in netball--in rugby they always have to check.

Secondly, netball can be played inside or outside but rugby is just played outside and rugby can not be played on concrete or wooden floor.  Rugby needs to be played on a grass field because boys and men like to get dirty-they think they are tough and playing harder. Also men don’t clean up or do their own washing.

Thirdly, netball increases women’s participation in sport--Rugby doesn’t. It is a less violent game and the moral and self-esteem has been boosted by playing netball.

Fourthly rugby players could learn from netballers--the fast ball handling skills, decision making and the quick vision. Netball is played much quicker as you only have 3 seconds from the moment you catch the ball to releasing it. In netball you need short sharp movements going forwards, backwards, sideways, up and stopping.

Lastly netball is fun and rugby is boring. More people play netball than rugby so NETBALL just have to be better than rugby !!!!!!!!!!
