Players, coaches and officials at Bradley Stoke Junior Netball Club celebrated the club’s 10th anniversary on 25th August, writes club secretary Lyn Moreton.
The club was officially 10 years old in July but, due to Covid restrictions, celebrations had to be postponed until August.
The club was founded in 2011 to offer young players an opportunity to get involved in the sport and has grown from strength to strength. Having initially started as a small, non-competitive group of around 20 or so girls, the club now has 70 members across its three age groups and has five teams who play in Avon League – one U12 team, two U14 teams and two U16 teams.
To celebrate 10 years the club introduced a new, modern kit and at the recent celebration every player was presented with a bespoke club sports holdall. The evening also included some fun games for U12s, a mini-tournament for the older players and some specially designed netball cakes!
Although the club has been meeting throughout the pandemic, this was the first opportunity for the girls to get together and play netball without restricted rules, and the club would like to commend all players for their resilience and enthusiasm for getting back to normal.
The club is currently full in all age groups for 2021-22 season but is accepting names onto the waiting list. Please contact bsncjuniors@yahoo.co.uk for more information.
