Club Open Day - Saturday 6th April 10am-1pm Hungerball, Bubble Ball & Games. Details to follow in March.

TEAM PLACEMENTS - we do not grade/trial players.
Returning players go back into the same team as the previous year unless they request a change.
New players are added to teams to keep numbers balanced.
If you have a request to play with a friend or in a particular team, add a comment in the notes when registering & we will honour it if we can. No need to email your request.
For Small Whites, U9s & new members, we try to group players by school, friend group or previous team mates.
Teams also need coaches & managers so we sometimes have to move players to spread the coach/manager volunteers.
