Players

  • 2004/2005 was our first as a club and we focused on recruiting members aged from 11 to 16.
  • We are keen to recruit both boys and girls.
  • In 2005/2006 membership will expand to include a Junior squad, 7 to 10 years old.
  • In 2006/2007 we expect to establish a Senior squad.

Our members are mainly drawn from East London and the neighbouring counties.   Training sessions are based at Emerson Park School , which is on the NE edge of London . Our sessions take place every month, on a Sunday between 11am and 1pm.


Training sessions contain warm up exercises, skills work and competition.


Players

Most sessions will be outside on grass and players will need boots and shin pads. I the event of unsuitable weather, training will be inside the Sports Hall and trainers must be worn.
