Local History of netball
In 1891 Dr James Naismith, a Canadian immigrant YMCA instructor in the USA, invented the
game of basketball. Another American, Dr Toles, who was visiting England in 1895, introduced
basketball to that country, and although Englishmen preferred traditional sports, it was popular
with the ladies. In England in 1895, ladies using broomsticks for posts and wet paper bags for
baskets played the basketball game on grass. Their long skirts, bustle backs, nipped waists and
button up shoes impeded running and their leg-of-mutton sleeves restricted arm movement
making dribbling and long passes difficult. The ladies decided to adapt the game to
accommodate these restrictions In 1898 the court was divided into thirds, the number of players
increased from five to nine and a smaller ball (a soccer ball) was used. There were two umpires,
two scorers and two timekeepers – almost as many officials as players for each match.
In those early days the nets were not open at both ends and after each goal was scored, the
umpire had the task of retrieving the ball from the top of the post.
In England in 1901 the first set of rules was published and ‘netball’ officially came into
existence in that country. At the turn of the century school teachers from England travelled to
many countries of the then British Empire, and the game of netball or “ladies’ basketball” (if
prior to 1901) went with them. Once established, the game developed locally and soon each
country had its own separate rules and distinct methods of play, even its own name for the game.

In Australia and New Zealand where the game was established before 1901, it was called
Women’s Basketball and the name was changed to Netball in these two countries in 1970.
The All Australia Women’s Basketball Association was formed in August 1927, and the first
official National Championships was held in Melbourne in 1928, although a number of interstate
Australia’s first International match was played in 1938 against New Zealand during the
In 1939, an Australian team was selected to tour New Zealand, but with the outbreak of war the
tour was abandoned and it was not until 1948 that a tour took place. Australia by this time was
playing a seven-a-side game but New Zealand (until 1956) played nine-a-side, although the
A landmark in the history of Netball was when Australia travelled by ship to be the first overseas
team to visit England. It was a Women’s Basketball team going to the birthplace of netball, and
having to adapt to different rules, but the Australian team won 54 of 57 games, including the
Test against England (14-11) at Wembley Stadium before a crowd of more than 5,000.
Following this successful tour, a conference was held in London in 1957 to agree on an
International Code of Rules to be trailed in each country over the next three years. Countries
represented at this conference were England, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, South Africa,

USA, Wales and Australia. In 1960, the International Federation of Women’s Basketball and
representatives from England, Ceylon, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand and Australia.
In 1963, the first World Tournament with 11 teams competing, was held in England and
Australia were undefeated. World Championships are staged every four years.
Netball was a demonstration sport at the Auckland Games in 1990 but was not included in the
Commonwealth Games program for the first time until 1998 in Kuala Lumpur.

International Netball History
James Naismith, was ordered to invent an indoor game for high-spirited young men at the School
for Christian Workers (later the YMCA). Most games tried ended with injury rates of staggering
proportions! So, Naismith conjured up a game whereby a ball had to be lobbed into a high peach
basket (his reasoning being that if a ball had to dropped into the “goal”, it couldn’t be thrown at
breakneck speed). Basketball was born, with the original game featuring nine players – three
forwards, three centers and three guards – simply because Naismith had 18 youths to keep
amused. Women’s indoor basketball began exactly two days later when female teachers to the
gym were captivated by the game but it wasn’t until 1895 that the current game of netball was
well and truly shaped. When Clara Baer, a sports teacher in New Orleans, wrote to Naismith
asking for a copy of the rules, the subsequent rules package contained a drawing of the court
with lines penciled across it, simply to show the areas various players could best patrol. But Baer
misinterpreted the lines and thought players couldn’t leave those areas! In 1899 her mistake was
ratified into the rules of women’s basketball as zones. Three bounce dribbling had quickly been
extended in the men’s game (which didn’t have no-go zones), but it was seldom used in the
women’s version when it reached Britain and the Empire. In fact, there was no pressure to
increase that form of ball movement and in the end, dribbling simply ceased to exist. Netball was
first played in England in 1895 at Madame osnaburgs College. In the first half of the 20th
8
century, Netball’s popularity continued to grow, with the game being played in many British
Commonwealth countries. There were no standard rules at that time with both nine-a-side and
five-a-side versions of the game. During an Australian tour of England in 1957, discussions took
place concerning standardizing the rules of the sport and this led to representatives from
England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and The West Indies meeting in Sri Lanka in
1960, to establish The International Federation of Women’s Basketball and Netball. Formal rules
were established at this inaugural meeting and it was decided to hold World Championship
tournaments every four years, beginning in Eastbourne, England, in 1963. Since then World
Championships have been held in Australia 1967, Jamaica 1971, New Zealand 1975, Trinidad &
Tobago 1979, Singapore 1983, Scotland 1987, Australia 1991, England 1995 and New Zealand
1999. Throughout this period, Australia has dominated, winning the event in 1971, 1975, 1979,
1983, 1991, 1995 and 1999. The 2003 World Netball Championships in Kingston, Jamaica saw
New Zealand finally breaking the Australian dominance taking Gold. The 2007 World Netball
Championships was due to take place in Fiji but a political coup in the country led to the event
being transferred to Auckland, New Zealand. Despite the home advantage, New Zealand were
unable to defend their crown and Australia were once more World Champions. Australia retained
their title in 2011 in Singapore and in 2015 in Sydney. As part of the Australian Bicentenary
Celebrations in 1988, a Youth Tournament took place in Canberra, for players aged under 21. Its
success led to this event being held once every four years. Fiji hosted the 2nd World Youth
9
Netball Championship, Canada the 3rd and the 4th has just taken place in Wales. Australia were
winners in 1988, New Zealand in 1992 and Australia again in 1996 and 2000. At the 2005 World
Youth Netball Championship, held in Florida New Zealand Won Gold, England Silver and
Australia took the Bronze. IN 1995 Netball became a “recognized” sport of the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) and one of the Federation’s objectives is to ensure this status is
retained and to encourage the International Olympic Committee to include Netball in the
Olympic Games Programmed in the future. Netball was included in the Commonwealth Games
programmed, for the first time, in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, where Australia took the Gold medal,
New Zealand Silver and England the Bronze. It was also a programmed sport in 2002
Commonwealth Games in Manchester (England), where Australia again took the Gold medal,
New Zealand Silver and Jamaica edging out England for the Bronze. In 2006 (Melbourne,
Australia) and 2010 (Delhi, India) New Zealand beat Australia and England won the bronze
medal. Netball is now a core sport in the Commonwealth Games, with the next editions taking
place in The Gold Coast, 2018. 2008 saw the launch of Fast Net World Netball Series, a shorter,
sharper version of the game which in 2012 evolved into Fast5, attracting new audiences around
the globe.2012 also saw the sport’s governing body unveil a new logo and renamed itself as the
