Netball in Sweden

Netball was brought to Sweden by the English early in the game's history.

[1] In the period between 1902 and 1925, copies of the netball rule book published by the Ling Association of England were sold in Sweden.

[2] During and preceding the 1970s, most of the world (outside of New Zealand and Australia) played a one handed variety of netball.

This allowed a more fluid type of game, with longer passes designed to open up the court.

[4] Sweden had a team participate at the 2010 European Festival in Malta.
