The following is the plan for the 2024/2025 Season. Noting our membership numbers and that we have exhausted all avenues to get a coach, this is the proposed coaching plan for the new season.

Coaching sessions will be an hour long with the option for people to attend both sessions if they feel they are able to. Sessions will be split with a fitness segment in the middle for 30 mins. Training will happen on Thursday evenings.

If you feel like you don’t know which coaching session suits you best please speak to a member of the committee who can offer you advice.

Sessions
Beginner/Intermediate - 1830 to 19:30
Optional Fitness - 1930 to 2000
Advanced - 2000 to 2100
