Training and game schedules
The teams will practice once or twice a week. Central Venue League teams will have regular games, but not every week. Games are played on a Sunday morning at one of the Surrey venues. National League games will be most weeks and at either our home court or away venues.
Costs of playing with club
During the off season players need to pay for each training session. Once the aquads are selected there will be annual subs. Subs for the season can be paid in a one off payment at the beginning of the season, or in monthly installments. Game fees apply to players selected for those games.
All coaching time is given voluntarily, and subs go to pay for court hire, administration and equipment costs.
Details on subs will be worked out as the new season approaches. So please get in touch if you have any questions.
