What is not to
like?
Bournville
& Selly Oak Little League is operated by Birmingham City
Netball Club, a club with CAPS accreditation
from England Netball. This
accreditation provides an assurance that the
organisation is well run and
governed, with all necessary
policies and procedures in place for Safeguarding of Children. The League is organised
and run by an
experienced teacher who holds a Level 2 Coaching qualification from
England
Netball and is a former County netball player. All our adult personnel
have been subject to an Enhanced Disclosure Check (DBS). Our
independent
Safeguarding Officer is Mrs Rhiannon Plews.
Little
League Netball has
been established in Birmingham for well over twenty years and aims to
provide the
opportunity
for local girls (school years 3, 4, 5
and 6) to play supervised netball at as low a cost as
possible.
Our beautiful kit is
loaned free on a small
deposit. Girls of all abilities are welcome to take part, especially
those who
have not played netball before, as the
aim of the Little League is to take girls from zero knowledge of the
game to a level of skill where they will be a credit to a school or
club netball team. Though we say so ourselves, we are quite successful
at this!
Since
2003 Bournville
& Selly Oak Little League has been a
recognised Little League
under the auspices of Birmingham City Council Sports Development and
follows the Fair
Play Charter and (so far as is possible) the
rules that were laid down for the running
of Little Leagues. Our Little League has a number
of teams named after British
birds. The Little League is
set up each year in the Spring Term, and plays in the Summer Term. The
cost is £25.00 per year. Kit is loaned on a modest
deposit. Our
events are normally held on Saturday mornings.
We use the Spring Term for welcoming new players and
integrating them into
teams. In the Summer Term we play league matches most
Saturdays.
So far as possible the teams are managed, coached
and
umpired
by senior players from Birmingham City Netball Club. Little
League
players are encouraged to join the Club: either as Juniors while they
are still in Years 3 - 6, or as seniors when they leave the Little
League as they enter Year 7.
Our pictures here show our ten teams for
2022,
with
their team managers (click to enlarge).
If teams are not complete in the photographs, it could be that we do
not have permission to photograph certain players. Also, inevitably
there are a few absences every week. Having said that most of this years photos show complete teams of 9 or 10 players.
There is also a staff photo of (most of) the
organisers, team managers and helpers.
