JUNIOR BASKETBALL DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE

Age:   UNDER 10  &  UNDER 12

League tipped off on Saturday 12 Oct 2019 with 6 teams participating in the first ever ONE TEAM JBDL.

Results are all now recorded, it was clear that WINCHESTER ROYARS in the Under 10 is going to be the team to beat.
The Under 12 League was dominated by YATELEY SILVERBACKS, however, now all Coaches have seen the standard and the other teams, so now the work begins, we are looking for improvement all round.

GM Florin ROMAN said:  "For our first tournament, I feel it went very well.  We just want players at all these ages to have fun, compete in a healthy and safe environment and improve, the word PLAY in its fullest meaning is our main objective."

Finally all is set for the JBDL to start on Saturday 12 October.
