Netball was brought to Sweden by the English early in the game's history.[1] In the period between 1902 and 1925, copies of the netball rule book published by the Ling Association of England were sold in Sweden.[2] During and preceding the 1970s, most of the world (outside of New Zealand and Australia) played a one handed variety of netball. This allowed a more fluid type of game, with longer passes designed to open up the court.[3] While Australian Heather Main was studying in Stockholm, she started a team that eventually included three teams and became the Swedish Netball League.[4] Sweden had a team participate at the 2010 European Festival in Malta.[5] In 2010, Sweden participated in the European Netball Championship for the first time.[6]
