The Huddersfield Netball League, founded in the 1960s by a dedicated group of young women eager to play competitive netball more regularly, is marking a significant milestone in its long and proud history. What began with local youth club players seeking sponsorship and court space from Huddersfield businesses has since grown into a thriving community league.

Today, the league comprises around 15 clubs, 33 teams and approximately 350 players, reflecting the remarkable passion for netball across the Huddersfield area. After decades of clubs hosting matches at individual home venues, they are preparing for one of its most transformative developments to date.
​
The league is delighted to announce a new partnership with Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL), which will see all its fixtures played at a single central venue for the first time. Beginning this year, matches will take place at the Huddersfield Leisure Centre, an outstanding facility that offers two adjacent netball courts. This new arrangement will allow for an extensive schedule of matches throughout their summer and winter netball seasons.
