The governing body for netball in Kenya since the 1940s
The Kenya Netball Federation is the governing body for Netball in Kenya. Netball was devised by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 as an outdoor exercise for college students. In Kenya, the game was introduced by early immigrants in the mid 1940s as a unit within the physical education curriculum.
There are an estimated two million players in active competition throughout the world. In Kenya, the game is among the first games introduced to girls and played in almost all primary and secondary schools. Today, Netball is a life-long sport for fitness, conditioning, leisure and competition purposes for both boys and girls.
