We offer free Junior taster sessions for schools, clubs, or individuals. These sessions are open to groups or individuals, and teachers or group leaders are welcome to join in. To arrange a session, please contact the coaching team by sending us a message via the ‘Contact Us’ page.

All of our coaches have enhanced DBS checks.

Sessions can be scheduled based on availability (times/days by arrangement).
