Celebrating 100 years of Netball in the West

Join us as we explore and celebrate the enduring legacy and remarkable achievements of netball and its passionate community.

This year Netball WA is celebrating its centenary as the governing body of netball in Western Australia. The exhibition commemorates this milestone and reflects on the past one hundred years of netball and women's basketball in WA. 

The sport has mirrored the history and growth of the state, responded to changing economic conditions, new laws and disruptive world events, adapted to social change and population growth, and embraced diversity.

Throughout 2024, Netball WA will celebrate and recognise critical milestones which have been crucial to the success of the game in this State. Visit the Centenary webpage to learn more about the history and Netball WA and the exciting events coming up this year.

WA Netball has been continually shaped by extraordinary individuals and the history of the sport in this state is their story.
