As we get closer to the start of the season we have outlined some further information to help you understand how the season is looking for our junior members.

Dates for the season

• First session of the season - Sunday 1st September 2024 at Nonsuch High School
• Midweek training sessions will start on Wednesday 18th September 2024 at Nonsuch High School (these will run for two weeks then move to Epsom College) – 6:15pm to 7:45pm

Club Day – 1st September 2024 and Training Times
All Sunday training sessions will take place at Nonsuch High School for Girls. Age groups are based on age on 1st September 2024. The appropriate school year is shown below from September.

All players MUST wear shin pads and a gum shield – this is a non negotiable and your child won’t be able to play if they don’t have these with them. Make sure they also have enough water/fluids for the session too.
The coaches and managers for this season are as follows:

At the first session please ensure you check in with the manager so they can ensure everyone is in the right groups.

Membership and WhatsApp updates

• Please make sure both your details and your child’s details are up to date on Pitchero
• Invites to the WhatsApp groups have been sent around and you should have been able to join these.
• We communicate via a weekly e mail and regular WhatsApp messages.

Subscriptions
Subscriptions are due by 30th September 2024 and payable through the Pitchero App. You should have already received a payment request to settle your child’s subscription. Subscriptions for the current year are as follows:

• Family discounts: First (most expensive member) pays full rate, each member after that receives a 20% discount – complete this link to request the discount - Family Subscription Request Form
• New members are able to try out 3 training sessions for free before needing to commit to becoming a member.

Kit Swap – Sunday 8th September 2024

• We have run a kit swap at the start of each season to recycle kit and allow members to reuse equipment that juniors have grown out of. If you have spare kit that your child has grown out of or isn’t using please bring it along on either 1st or 8th September.
• The kit swap will run on Sunday 8th September 2024 at the entrance to the pitch.
