Why do netball girls have to wear skirts?

Answer 1

Frustratingly no, it's usually not allowed in schools or Netball clubs and boys have to wear shorts instead. I wish it weren't, because I'm a boy and that's what I wear when I practice at home, with netball knickers underneath. The skirt keeps you cool when your running around and netball knickers give more support than regular boys' underwear. At home I play well, but at school in my shorts I get hot and flustered and usually lose to the girls I'm playing against. I wish we could wear netball skirts, it'd make it easier to play against the girls.

Answer 2

Skirts really help in netball, because they keep you cooler than shorts when you're running around, and if you wear matching underwear you don't have to be shy about showing them when you jump. I always wear a skirt and netball underwear when I'm practising, and my game's really improved.

Answer 3

Yes a boy should always wear a little pleated skirt and knickers for these sports. It will help you keep cool and move more freely. Ask your P.E. teacher if you can have permission to wear this. Hope it helps, love from Ella x x x
