This block of coaching is aimed at adult members who are already Club Team players or those who aspire to join a B team. NB participation in this coaching block does not guarantee selection for club team play. It is offered as an opportunity to provide you with relevant skills.

The cost for the block of 4 sessions is £32.00.  You must be able to play on all four Monday evenings in August (no refund if unable to play).  Any postponement due to weather will be notified by 17.30 on the day and another session will be substituted.
