Why Join Here

One ground.
Five clubs. No gatekeeping.

Most clubs make you guess whether you're "good enough" to turn up. Ours don't — every club here is genuinely set up to welcome complete beginners, not just keep existing members happy.

All Abilities

Pace groups, junior sessions, social and competitive options — find your level at each club.

Regular Events

Fetes, taster sessions and tournaments throughout the year, open to members and newcomers alike.

Facility Hire

  • One ground — the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, Brinkworth Rd, easy parking on site.
  • No pressure — most first sessions are drop-in, so you can try before deciding to join.
  • Run by volunteers — for volunteers, by people who actually play and coach here.
