THE HISTORY
Netball was very different to the game that we play now, it was originally called Basketball. In 1906, the Rev J.C. Jamieson came to Auckland and started teams up from his Bible classes. The first basketball teams formed in New Zealand were the A and B teams at the St. Luke's Presbyterian Church, Remuera, Auckland in 1906-1907. The games were played on a paddock, and the teams unces, and throws from one end of the field to the other, were allowed. Baskets were used for goals, and after each goal, the ball had to be tipped out. In 1923, the first official representative match was played in Wellington between Wellington and Canterbury. In August of 1925, the First Annual Meeting was held in Wellington. There were representatives from the four Foundation associations of Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago, as well as from Southland and Nelson. There were 183 teams affiliated to NZ. By 1932, there were 15 affiliated Associations, with a total of 742 teams.
