As the players got older, they expanded the game by creating club sides for casual play. Players were familiar with the English rules as the official Ling Association rule book was sold in the country. During the 1930s, the major competition was the ISSA Cup. Seven teams competed, including Wolmer's Old Girls Association (W.O.G.A.), St. Andrew, St. Hugh's, Excelsior, Shortwood, and Lincoln. W.O.G.A. built the first hard court to play netball on in Jamaica. Netball is still played at schools in Jamaica. The Queens School won Jamaica's ISSA/Digicel All-Island High Schoolgirls Junior title in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The 2010 title came after the school beat Holmwood Technical 33–20 in the final.

By 2003, the country was ranked 9th in the world. The United States also hosted the 2005 World Youth Championships.
