The ladies team train on a Thursday evening 7-9pm. The girls team also train on a Thursday evening, 6-7pm.
Of course! The first session is always a free trial, then if you would like to join, there is a monthly fee.
That's totally fine! If you would like to train only, we are happy for you to do that. We offer a reduced monthly rate for training-only players.
No age limit here! We currently have players from 8 to 60+, of all abilities, across our three teams.
