Netball in Vanuatu
Netball has a large amount of grassroots support in Vanuatu. Games are most often played by girls on Saturdays during the winter, though games can be played at all times of the year.[1] Continuing growth of the game in Vanuatu was at times hampered by the fact that the sport is not an Olympic one. The Olympic Solidarity Movement provides much access to funding through the International Olympic Committee. For Olympic sports, money can be tapped to help cover costs for inter-island travel for international competitions. The lack of netball being recognized meant it was hard to find money to cover these costs.[2]

gollark: That seems implausibly high.
gollark: I've heard it said that house prices are high in many cities because the people there have a lot of influence on zoning and such, but also have an incentive to not allow more buildings because it would reduce the amount their house is worth.
gollark: Neat.
gollark: Although without knowing if that value is inflation-adjusted or not it is not useful.
gollark: You can adjust for inflation, you know.
