netball???? I have no clue what this is?

Hi. Trape'

Easy does it...Googling is easier BUT SO boring than an actual human's response...wouldn't you say? I value your input way more than some possibly outdated blog entry, hint hint!!! : )

Iso, for you @stessedoutmom ...I learned the diff about two years ago from a USA volleyball player who explained that they differ in the number of players and the number of passes and how a point is made... Whatever, I envy these players fit legs legs and glutes to match  no matter the gender! 

Back to riding up another hill on my exercise bike on this gorgeous day. Thank goodness for a fantastic view of the sea.

Trape googling is not always easy with little ones around, hence the question. I didn't have time to look when I posted, but google is my friend as I had to google how to say cottage cheese in arabic the other day.

But no Albadawiya I have not heard of it here, but you never know some compound may have it.

I love me some cottage cheese, but alas, haven't had it for years, as I have not found it here.  One of the local dairy companies, Jamjoom, used to make it in small quantities and it used to be available some years ago in major supermarkets, but no more.  Have you found it somewhere here?  Carrefour might have it, but have not been to it yet.

As for googling, I understand it can sometimes take a lot of time and/or concentration.  In such cases, my first go to site is Wikipedia, assuming of course that what you are looking for will typically be found in an encyclopedia.  In fact, if you do a google search on most objects, foods, people, sports, geographical regions, scientific concepts, historical events, etc., the first or second result is usually the Wikipedia link.  And to save time you can just go to and simply search there, as you are pretty much guaranteed an informative article, as opposed to having to sift through google results.

About netball, the only place where they play it is at the 2 British schools in Jeddah, I mean, they students play it, and also take part in tournaments with other British schools across the country.  Call them and ask them if they know of any non-student teams or tournamnets.  I doubt it, but worth calling.  The schools are Jeddah Prep and Grammar School, and the British International School of Jeddah, aka the Continental School.  Phone numbers?  Google

Thanks for the tip, Trapezius! Not getting my hopes up too high, but I will give the schools a call.

Ps. Netball's like basketball, but without the dribbling... in a nutshell.

Hellooooo!!!

Gosh, this thread was from 2 years ago but I write with a good news update!!

We have a netball team in Jeddah! (and have done for the last 2 years but I guess I didn't see this thread in time )

If you are still around, and interested in playing Netball in Jeddah then get in touch - I'll give you the details!

Bye,

Julie

Hello Julie,

welcome on board 

Indeed such threads tend to fade away on the forum. However, if you could drop an advert in the Sport partners in Jeddah section of the website, it will definitely be more accessible and visible to members.

Cheers
