About Us

Netball Singapore is the national body for netball in SG. Our programmes and events are catered to the masses.

Established in 1962, it has become a professionally run National Sport Association today, which generates a proportion of its expenditure through donation, sponsorship, and other means of revenue-generation, in addition to funding from Sport Singapore.

We are the largest female team sport in Singapore by far and our aim is to progressively promote and develop netball to be the number one participation and spectator sport for women and girls in Singapore – through the creation of opportunities for all to participate as players, officiating, coaching, volunteering and as spectators and supporters for the game. To date, there are more than 250 schools with Netball for PE and CCA, and just over 70 registered netball clubs in Singapore.

Our programmes and events are catered to the masses – community programmes for the underprivileged, programmes and events for schools and events for the clubs, corporates, and public.
