We have over 150 junior members in the Club with an age range of 3 years to 18 years. Many of our junior members take part in the coaching programme which caters for all ages and levels from mini red, mini orange, mini green to traditional yellow ball squads.

Non members are welcome to come and try our coaching sessions and we have drop in squads on saturday mornings which are open to non members (pay an additional £1-50 visitors fee on top of the coaching fee) and children attending mid week squads do not need to join the Club until they are mini orange level (9 years). We also run Easter and Summer Camps during the holidays.
