National Cadet League and National Junior League organisers and teams are invited to play an important role in our latest round of Competition Review consultation.

Since the announcement of the first steps to implement the Competition Review, work has continued in a number of key areas, including bringing the National Club Leagues under a single umbrella.

This will align the NCL/NJL and British League as a cohesive pathway rather than separate and distinct events, creating a better experience for hosts and entrant clubs.

Organisers of the leagues have met to get this process under way. Some of the anticipated changes to achieve a consistent and more effective approach are:

• Increased staff support for volunteers, hosts and entrant clubs
• Common documentation, regulations and entry/payment processes
• Integrated committee support
• Rebranding

There will be no essential changes to the format and structure of NCL and NJL, which will remain flexible, locally delivered and targeted at developing players, as feedback in earlier wide-ranging consultation recognised that this works well.

However, we are now seeking further feedback from hosts and entrants in order to hear about any specific challenges and considerations we should be aware of, and what extra support would be helpful.

Responses will remain open until 9am on Tuesday January 16, 2024.

As implementation of the Competition Review outcomes moves forward, further announcements about the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons will be made in due course.
