Tournaments

Tournament play, underpinned by regular high quality training, is the most effective way to improve as a player, developing your own skills and learning from other successful players. So we encourage members of the squad to compete regularly in these events.

All squad players should compete in the HJBA tournaments at Stevenage Leisure Centre at both U13 and U15 events. For details about the tournaments please click on the Tournaments menu button or here. To download entry forms please click on the Downloads menu button or here.

We also expect squad members to play at least 3 Badminton England tournaments during the season (although our more ambitious players, and those of our rival counties, will play many more) Performances in these tournaments count towards gradings in the national ranking system. Most tournaments can be entered using the Badminton England on-line entry page on their website. Click here to go to the BE Junior Competition page.

Matches

Herts U14s play inter-county matches as follows;

  1. Shires League (season long competition, with a national play-off finals day in April)
  2. Friendlies (arranged as the calendar permits)

Selection for representative events will be on merit, but we try to give all squad members opportunities to develop by playing competitively for Hertfordshire.
