Training

Junior Training sessions for boys and girls are held on Sundays 11.00am to 12.00am on the Astroturf at the Colin Tooze Sports Centre in Ottery.
Training generally does not take place in the school holidays or over the half terms.
Ages range from year 6 through to year 10.
Players aged 13 to 15 who feel they would also like to come along to mens or ladies training in midweek, should first check with one of the senior captains, but in general, if they are confident of their abilities, they will be very welcome to go to both sessions.

If you have any queries contact:-
Rachael Down: 01404 815717
Or
Paul Baker: 01404 815627

Older, more experienced juniors, who may be doing leadership awards or who would like to try their hand at umpiring or coaching are welcome to come along and help, as are any other more experienced club players.
