Netball WA to mark 100 years in the West

Celebrating 100 years as the governing body of the sport in Western Australia in 2024, Netball WA has set up a dedicated webpage so everyone within the netball community can stay up to date on the events and celebrations planned throughout the year.

As part of the celebrations, Netball WA is currently in the final stages of publishing a book to commemorate this important milestone with the official launch of the book scheduled for May.

The annual Fuel To Go & Play Association Championships will also play an important role in recognising this milestone with a history installation to be curated so that all participants and visitors to the Championships can view the amazing history of Netball in the west.

Everyone involved in Netball in Western Australia is strongly encouraged to follow Netball WA's social media channels and the dedicated webpage to ensure they do not miss anything relating to the centenary celebrations.
