The Netball Little League for girls in Years 4 to 6 living in the
Bournville and Selly Oak areas is now starting its sixth year.
The Bournville and Selly Oak Little League consists of 9 teams of girls
taken from schools in the Bournville and Selly Oak area only.
The teams are balanced in terms of
Each will play one other team every Saturday in the Summer Term,
finishing with the Lord Mayor's Tournament for all Little Leagues. Teams
are named after popular British birds (Greenfinches, Robins, Kingfishers,
etc.) and kitted out in appropriate colours. Click

to see what our teams look like.
The Little League began preparations in January 2002, and our first
playing season was 2003. The Chairman is Mrs. Rachel Maughan, and the
secretary is Mrs. Dianne Barber.
We are experiencing difficulties setting up the Little League for
2008. The problem is finding a venue in the area that is safe,
satisfactory and available. Further news will appear here when we have it.
The League is based at:
Selly Park Girls' School
Selly Park Road
Birmingham B29
Involvement of parents is vital to the success of the Little League.
All teams are managed by two adults or
experienced secondary school netball players.
We are hoping to provide opportunities for training for helpers for
example in:
- umpiring
- coaching
- child protection
Playing in the Little League is free apart from a small registration
fee, and kit is provided on payment of a deposit. There may be a charge
for coaching if this is provided. Every year the players in each team
choose the Players' Player of the Year for that team. The chosen girl gets
to keep a trophy for twelve months.
The Little League is a separate organisation set up by
Birmingham
City Netball Club to provide fun and playing opportunities for
existing and prospective younger members. It is hoped that players who
wish to progress will join BCNC and play in its Intermediate teams (Years
7 to 10).
