Join us

New members

New seniors can join up to three training sessions to give it a try. You will find out about the coaching and training we offer, as well as competition and social opportunities. 

New juniors can attend up to three training sessions and attend an induction by a coach before they can join. We operate a waiting list as coaching places are limited. Our junior coaches are all DBS checked and UKA licensed.
