The changes to the league from 2024/25 are:

  • Qualifying tournament – open to all Yorkshire member clubs in the applicable season
  • League commences earlier – for the 2024/25 season begins mid-October
  • Clubs may play more often, playing each other twice between October – March

At the end of the season, the league will be disbanded and a new league will start in 2025/26.

If you are interested in competing at regional level and ultimately vying for a place at the EN National Finals, we encourage you to look at the competition rules and regulations. Outlined in there is the responsibility of clubs and what off-court infrastructure you will need in place at regional qualifying and league competition.
