Tonight's Midlands Junior League Steering group meeting generated further exciting plans for 2025. Our aim is to work with the @TheRFL to upskill our volunteer workforce and guarantee only the most positive matchday and festival experiences for our players.

[Midlands Junior Rugby League @MidlandsJRL]

Another feather in the cap for Midlands junior Rugby League development.

[Bassetlaw Bulldogs RLFC @BulldogsRLFC]

Amazing to have our very own all-rounder on the shortlist for Volunteer of the Year!

[Midlands Junior Rugby League @MidlandsJRL]

A productive meeting last night led to these plans;
1. Further improvement of experiences at the 6 Summer Festivals in 2025
2. The potential for U15 and U17 Merit Leagues for 2025
3. The provision of a CPD and volunteer package for all clubs to ensure minimum standards met

We are profoundly sad that our friend Bill Arthur has passed away. Here is a tribute to him from the community club he served so generously. @TheRFL @TotalRL @SkySports

We’re 3/4 of the way through our 8 month Juniors season and we’ve so much more to achieve. We can look back on many fixtures, including our girls in the Yorkshire League, festivals, tours to London and Skegness and the inception of our youngest age group, the Pups (U6s).

[Alan Robinson @CoventryBear]

An amazing group of people this year involved with our juniors particularly our U11 group. Well done to all players, coaches and volunteers and in particular our community sponsors McDonald’s Coventry. @jkiely_john

With the @PaladinSportsUK Summer Festival Series now complete, we are looking at 2025 already. Did you attend any of the festivals in any capacity? If so, please contribute to our planning by telling us your views of this year. https://t.co/eQ0jTBECCJ

And that's a wrap! The @PaladinSportsUK Summer Festival Series came to an end at @CoventryBears today, as nearly 300 players came together for the final time this year.

[Coventry Bears @CoventryBears]

This Sunday we host a huge Midlands Junior Festival with over 300 juniors expected from 9 clubs across the region at @OldCoventsRFC

[Midlands Junior Rugby League @MidlandsJRL]

And just like that, we move on to @NEWRavens for the next Summer Festival of the season. They keep coming thick and fast! Sunday at Porthway, from 10.30am.

[The Tryline 🏉 @TrylineUK]

From small acorns... a fantastic effort by those involved in promoting #RugbyLeague in the Midlands.

To have 200 participants in a summer tournament and junior player registrations approaching 550 is a definite sign of progress 🙌

[Midlands Junior Rugby League @MidlandsJRL]

@_JonnyAdams_ @PaladinSportsUK @wolfhuntrl Member clubs form the Midlands Steering Group, which encapsulates teams from as far east as Immingham, and west as Shrewsbury. We generate our own funds through sponsorship and affiliation fees. We are all volunteers.

[Midlands Junior Rugby League @MidlandsJRL]

It’s festival day again today, as over 200 participants head for the 4th @PaladinSportsUK summer festival of the season. @wolfhuntrl are the hosts.

Junior player egistrations across the region are now approaching 550 for the season. We’re going for the magic number of 700!
