Netball in Tonga is a popular sport, usually played by girls on Saturdays during the winter, though games can be played at all times of the year.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]Tonga Netball Association is Tonga's governing body for netball. They are a young organisation having been established in 2012. They joined the International Netball Federation as full-time members in 2011. With the help of Netball Australia and the Australian Government's Pacific Sports Partnership program, netball in Tonga has once again made a comeback.[2]
International competition
[edit | edit source]In the 1990 Oceania Netball Tournament, Tonga competed along with countries like Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and the Cook Islands.[3]
At Gay Games VI, a transgender netball team from Tonga competed.[4] The 2015 Pacific Games in Papua New Guinea was Tonga's first international netball game since they became affiliates of International Netball Federation.
