CLUB POLICY
At the last committee meeting it was agreed that players indicate ,which of all the leagues the club has entered , they wish to play in.
The captains of each team then selects players for their respective teams. Players DO NOT decide which team they are playing for, that is the captains decision, with the higher team having preference of selection to all players.
Members are asked to respect this, and players may be selected to play for a a higher team, or between teams, according to form and availability (consideration given to circumstances)
This is a club policy , and will be used for 2025
season, and is the only way the club will survive and improve.
There appears to be some confusion regard squads on the board.
Being named in a squad does not necessarily mean you only play for that team
Teams are selected on ability, and availability, and players must be prepared to play for any team they are selected for, and are not tied to a particular team or league.(subject to league rules) Preference of selection is always given to the higher team, who can call upon the best players from the next team when short.
It appears the club may have to withdraw a team from the Belper Saturday League. This means that players who may have been playing in that team, will have to be incorporated into the C &B teams, and the respective captains, need to include these players, there is no such thing as a set squad.
