From Mid-Beds Junior Netball League Bedford Youth league began in 2002 with 8 teams of girls aged 13-16yrs. Due to the great support of clubs, players, parents and in particular the league committee the league has now grown to 22 teams! That’s approximately 200 plus girls all benefiting from regular competition.
In Bedford there is now a complete competition pathway for Juniors & Youth. Starting at School Yr 5 – Yr 8 girls play in the Bedford Junior league running from Feb – May, which last year attracted 42 teams equating to approximately 400 children on Sunday mornings. Following the junior leagues, there are a variety of adult leagues which have seen a steady increase in the number of new teams each year as teams move up from the Youth league. This is raising the standard of the Adult leagues with new young teams coming in & giving the Adults a run for their money !
Huge thanks must go to the Junior & Youth Committee in Bedford who are all
volunteers & give up so much time to make these leagues successful for the benefit
of the local children.
