Before You Join
|
Before
you join us, you and the club need to find out what level you should play at. Please
look through the list below to see how we classify members so that you can try
out at the level that feels right for you. When you have identified a session you’d like to come
along to, please email club coach, Wendy Proudfoot, saying when you plan to
come so that she can confirm your place and make you welcome. Wendy can also
help if you are not sure which level to try out for. N.B. Costs of the court(s) and coaching fees are shared equally between players present at any session.
Once you’ve come to a session you will be given feedback as to which squad might be right for you and you will be invited to become a regular player.
