Junior training
The 07/08 season registration day for training for 7 to 12 year olds is Sunday 23rd September, 10am to 12pm at the Nevill. This is also the club open day so a BBQ lunch will be provided from 12pm. To speed up registration, please complete the appropriate membership forms and bring them with you.
Coaching is generally in groups: U16/15 boys, U16/15 girls, U14/13 boys, U14/13 girls, U12/11 boys, U12/11 girls and U10/9/8/7 mixed. The basis of the groups is the age at 1st September 2007, except for boys older than 13 when it is based on age at 1st January 2008. Some of these groups may be combined for a session depending on numbers and pitch allocations.
Parental consent forms must be completed before you can participate.
Coaching will be either at Tonbridge School or at Hawkenbury (and possibly the Nevill) and organised in two sessions: 9.30 to 10.45 or 10.45 to 12.00. Times will be sent out with the weekly team sheet (please contact Jane Jordan to make sure you receive this). Please check times and locations every week because they are subject to change.
We also run U18 teams for both Boys and Girls with matches in the local League. Training for these groups is not on Sundays but at the Club’s senior mid-week training sessions (see above).
