YORKSHIRE JUNIORS

Picture
INTRODUCTION

Yorkshire Badminton Association Junior Section exists to promote and provide badminton opportunities for players of school age. Organisation of the Association’s activities is by a committed group of volunteer teachers, parents, former parents, friends and coaches.

Representative county teams at U12, U14, U16 and U18 play nationally in the Shires League. There are also inter-county competitions run by the North Midway Badminton League at Primary school, U13, U15 and U17 age groups.  YBA also operates a Bonanza tournament for non-county squad players and open tournaments sanctioned by Badminton England where individuals compete from around the country.

Weekend tournaments organised by the Anglo Scottish League take place at U13, U15, U17 and U20 age groups and provide excellent opportunities to develop team spirit on and off court too.

Halls are booked by the Association in schools, colleges, clubs and public sports and leisure centres.

The Association believes it has a responsibility to provide an all-round programme for the whole child not just as a badminton player and recognises the value that sport can bring to a child’s development. Overall the emphasis is on enjoyment which does not necessarily come from winning.
