Under BAFA rules, everyone gets three free sessions to try the sport before you need to decide if you want to sign up or not.

We have some off seasons sessions for everyone to try the sport, whether you've played before or not.

Rookie Sessions
30th November 2025 and 11th January 2026
Butts Park Arena, Coventry, 5 - 7pm
Sessions are specifically for people who have never played before and will give you a chance to try the sport and most positions.

OTA (Organised Team Activity) Sessions:
14th December 2025 and 25th January 2026

OTAs are a bit more position-specific and run more like our normal practices. They’re ideal for experienced players, but also great for rookies to get involved and learn as they go.
