Initially call at the open session on a Monday night. There is always a member of the league committee on hand who can point you towards a league club in your area. The best time to join a club is May/June prior to the league season commencing in September, but there can be opportunities to join a club team during the season.

 

Clubs are often looking for reserve players for teams, and although you may not get a regular place, this is a good way of joining a club. Contact us to see if there are any clubs looking for players, alternatively you can contact a local club directly, see Clubs for further details.
