The Roy Morgan Young Australians Survey has found that 50 per cent of Australian children aged 6-13 played soccer in the year to June 2015, compared with 47 per cent in the previous 12 months. In contrast, the proportion of children who reported going swimming has fallen from 50 per cent to 48 per cent over the same period. The survey also shows that 39 per cent of Australian girls now play soccer, while just 37 per cent play netball, a sport traditionally associated with girls.
