History

Netball New South Wales was formed in 1929 and was originally known as the New South Wales Women's Basketball Association (NSWWBA).[1][4][5] It was formed by members of the Sydney City Girls' Amateur Sports Association. In 1970 it became the New South Wales Netball Association (NSWNA).[6]

Between 1980 and 2014, the Netball NSW headquarters were based at the Anne Clark Centre in Lidcombe. It was officially opened on 11 October 1980 and named after Anne Clark, who had served as the organisation's president between 1950 and 1979. In December 2014, Netball NSW moved to its current home at Netball Central, Sydney Olympic Park.[6][7][8][9]
