Netball is played by 1 million women and girls a week in the UK, and is one of the most popular female team games in the world being played in over 70 countries, but despite this popularity - and being a regular sport in the Commonwealth Games - it has never featured in the Olympics.
The Co-operative, sponsors of the netball Superleague, has lent their support to England Netball in supporting netball’s bid to be played at the greatest stage of all.
The bid to get netball into the Olympics already has the backing of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has indicated his desire for netball to become a demonstration sport at the London 2012 Olympics.
So find out more on the site and sign up, along with the thousands of others who have already done so, to register your support to netball being played at the Olympics.
More than 600,000 people have backed a campaign launched by Team Bath netballer Eboni Beckford-Chambers to have netball included at the Olympic Games.
Eboni, who plays goal keeper or goal defence for Team Bath in netball’s Superleague and is also a member of the England squad, started the campaign with a Facebook group ‘Bid to get netball in the 2012 Olympics’. It now more than 31,500 members.
The campaign has now been backed by The Co-operative, sponsors of the Superleague.

Eboni said: “I started the Facebook group with the target of having 500,000 people support the campaign to have netball included in the Olympics. Since The Co-operative has backed the campaign we have smashed that target and are looking to carry on to get over 1 million.”
Cherie Blair, wife of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, has joined over 600,000 people by offering her support to The Co-operative’s bid to have netball included in the Olympic Games. The Co-operative, sponsors of the Netball Superleague, has recently carried out a survey in 2,000 food stores across the country using a simple ‘Chip and PIN’ question, which shows growing momentum for the bid.
Some 587,705 people registered their support for netball to be included in the Olympics - double the level of support shown when a similar in-store survey was carried out in the summer.
Alongside the 31,500 people who have joined the Facebook group, ‘Bid to get netball in the 2012 Olympics’, this has taken the support for the campaign over the 600,000 mark.
