Training takes place from 7:45-10:00pm on Wednesday nights, and runs from the middle of July (for pre-season training) until mid May. We meet at 7:45 so that each team can de-brief from the matches the previous weekend. Please make an effort to be at training on time and ready to play so that we can make the best use of team discussions and court time.

The training committee works very hard to provide a range of high quality training sessions. We expect players to make a regular commitment to training both for your own development, to support your club-mates and to allow for trying combinations for teams. In the event of having a high number of players available for matches, we may take training attendance into consideration when selecting players for the fixture.

Training is also an opportunity for our developing umpires to practice and develop their skills, therefore it is essential that we have an adequate number of players at training to allow for this. Please also remember to support the developing umpires as they practice.
