Our two venues
Both are on Hurst Road in Sidcup, a few minutes apart. The term dates page lists which venue we are at on which date.
Chislehurst & Sidcup Grammar School
Hurst Road, Sidcup DA15 9AG
We play on the outdoor courts here for the first part of the autumn term, so bring a warm layer. Parking on site.
Sidcup Leisure Centre

We move indoors for the darker evenings, right through to the Christmas Special. Parking on site.
What to expect
Your first session is all about having fun and feeling welcome. Here's exactly how it will go, so you and your player know what to expect before you arrive.
Arrive a little early
Come along about 5 minutes before the start. A coach will meet you at the door, sign players in and introduce them to the group.
The Session
You can expect fun warm-up games, simple skills and small-sided team play, designed so complete beginners and keen players all join in and enjoy it. The session length will be 60 minutes with rest breaks intermittently.
Parents are welcome to stay
You're very welcome to stay and watch the taster from the balcony at the leisure centre. However most parents will drop players off, allowing their children to be fully engaged in the session. There is also a café area if you wish to wait there.
What to bring
Keep it simple, just turn up ready to play. Please leave jewellery at home (medical bracelets and newly pierced ears will be taped), and tie back hair longer than shoulder length.
Trainers
Supportive trainers with good grip, plus a pair of socks.
Water bottle
Bring a full bottle to stay hydrated throughout.
Comfy sportswear
A skort or shorts, a t-shirt or leggings, with long hair tied back.
