Helen about to be announced in sport (7)

I believe the answer is:

netball

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sport' is the definition.
(netball is a sport)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for netball that I've seen before include "After this, you get to serve again" , "Game for women or girls" , "Women's game" , "Team sport" , "Team game/sport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
