History

[edit | edit source]

Netball is believed to have been played in Victorian primary schools by 1913 and in Victorian high schools by 1915. In 1922, Louise Mills and Nonie Hardie wanted to play netball competitively. The pair, who worked for the YWCA, called a meeting for girls interested in playing. From there, the Melbourne Girls' Basketball Association was formed. Games started in May 1923 with six teams competing. By the next year, there were twelve teams.[6] In 1928, the Melbourne Girls' Basketball Association transformed into the Victorian Women's Basketball Association (VWBA). They subsequently organised a team to compete in the first Australian National Netball Championships, which were held in Melbourne in September 1928. Victoria won the inaugural event. In 1970, the VWBA changed its name to the Victorian Netball Association.[7][8]
