The Kenya Netball Federation is the governing body for Netball in Kenya.
Netball was devised by Dr. James Naismith in 1891 as an out-door exercise for College Students. In Kenya, the game was introduced by early immigrants in mid 1940′ as a unit within the physical education Curriculum.
There are an estimated two million players in active competition throughout the world. The game has not yet become an Olympic sport and this has been a major hindrance to its growth.
In Kenya, the game is among the first games introduced to girls and played in almost all primary and secondary schools. It has been enjoying the same popularity as soccer is for men. Today, Netball ia a life-long sport for fitness, conditioning, leisure and competition purposes for both boys and girls.
