Got a child that's interested?
You can bring your child along for a couple of weeks without charge. If they then want to join membership is £100 membership for the whole season.
Contact us to arrange a time to come down, or just turn up for training and introduce yourself to a Coach.

Getting serious
We are part of the Sale Sharks Academy Pathway which takes players from the U15 age band upwards. We nominate players for a trial, which can lead to players playing professionally for Sale Sharks. Last year, we have 7 players that are part of this programme.
