Doubles Tournament – Sat 11th Feb 2023

The Derek Meakin Junior Level Doubles Tournament will be held on Saturday 11th February 2023 at Whitwick & Coalville Leisure Centre, Stevenson’s Way, Coalville, Leicestershire LE67 3FE.

This Doubles tournament is a great junior Badminton event for all players of the club to consider entering, especially as this tournament excludes any player who trains in with the Leicestershire Performance Centre at any weekday sessions (Mon to Thurs) or has played in any County matches in the current season.

Players do not have to be current members of Badminton England, so you do not have to enter with a player from the club therefore could be just a friend or if you do not have a partner just insert on the form  “Partner Required”.

In the past members of our club have been winners & runners-up in the different age groups.

The tournament includes:

  • Boys Doubles (primary aged up to year 6) – 9am-11am
  • Girls Doubles (primary aged up to year 6) – 9am-11am
  • Boys Doubles (years 7-9) = 11am-1pm

Note that players entering with an older partner out of their age group must play up in the older age group. For full details, please see/download the entry form below.

Entries must reach the organiser (Carole Spencer) by FRIDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2023.

Please send entry form & fee of £5 per person to the organiser, with cheques made payable to Whitwick Juniors B. C. or alternatively pay by cash on the day.

We hope as many players as possible from the club take part.

LBA Junior Tournament – 20th March

The Leicestershire Badminton Association (LBA) is running a junior badminton tournament on 20th March 2022 at Babington Academy, Leicester.

This is a non-county singles event, which is a great opportunity for new players to badminton to experience a tournament. The exclusion of county players really gives a greater opportunity for players from the club to acheive good results.

Notes:

  • This tournament is a singles event (i.e. boys or girls).
  • The tournament is based on school years (i.e. not Badminton England age groups based on your birthday from 1st January).
  • Hard copies of the event form will also be available to hand out on Wednesdays from 2nd March 2022.
  • Also please note this Tournament is being run independently by the LBA Junior Club and both (i) “Harborough LC Junior Badminton Club or (ii) the Leicestershire Schools Badminton Association (LSBA) are not involved in the organisation and/or rules associated. Therefore, all players are representing themselves and not anyone else. However, should they decide to wear club shirts we would expect them to comply on the day with the organiser’s requirements.

For full details, please see the entry form below. The entry form with player’s name and the £5.00 entry fee should be returned to the tournament organiser by Thursday 17th March 2022 (NOT TO RAY PHIPKIN AT THE CLUB).
