National Governing Bodies
National Governing Bodies
Just about every sport has its own National Governing Body, or NGB as they are more commonly know. Each NGB can vary hugely depending on the level of development of the sport in this country and it's wealth.
In Bedfordshire and Luton we have both full and part time NGB Development Officers in a number of sports who have responsibilities to work with clubs, coaches and volunteers to help develop their sports at every level;
Badminton - Ollie Jordan (F/T) oliverjordan@badmintonengland.co.uk

Netball - Alison Brightman (P/T) alison@teambedsandluton.co.uk
