Who are we? 

 

As a club, we can offer you both a friendly, sociable atmosphere, and the chance to play competitively. Whatever you’re interested in or whatever your level of experience, we welcome everyone!
 
In terms of playing, you can expect training 2 or 3 times a week, frequent matchplay and weekly strength and conditioning sessions for individuals in performance teams. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills and progress to higher levels of playing. You’ll also have access to courses on refereeing and coaching if you’re interested! 
 
On the social side of things we hold club tournaments, formals, socials every week, and a particular highlight of the year is always our annual Spring tour to Portugal!
