Our league always welcomes new teams where we can, and clubs can enter as many teams in as many disciplines as they like.
Clubs organise their own matches, with half being played at a club’s home venue. Therefore new clubs will need to source courts for around 4-7 matches in the season (Oct-May) per team. Men’s doubles and mixed doubles teams field 3 pairs for a match. Women’s doubles teams field 4 players for a match, with each player playing with all other players on that team.
Players can be of any age, as long as they arrive on time, have a captain to organise the team, and are respectful on and off court.
For any club wanting to join us, our requirements of your club are that you:
- Are a Badminton England registered club (with players registered in addition)
- Pay a small league fee (£5 per team per season)
- Have a named match secretary(s) who can organise the season’s matches in August, who can attend the annual fixtures meeting where most of these are set.
- Ensure a representative of the club is able to attend the AGM.
- Give us a commitment to ensuring 6 players can play in each match and that no more than 2 matches are going to be missed or conceded.
- Give us assurances that an on-the-day captain will be assigned for each match, to record and submit scores, ensure smooth running of games, etc.
- Commit to teams that are joining/not joining our league by 1st August.
New teams typically join in the bottom division.
