You should have received an email with your allocated session, please be aware that the first two weeks are likely to see a bit of moving around of coaches until we figure out what the best solution is for players and coaches.
Our sessions are only open for members, so it is a good idea to bring an ID so that the coach can check you’re on the list (and at the right session).
Check the website for info on where and when sessions take place http://www.londonbeachvolleyball.org/?page_id=28.
Social sessions which all members can go to start this week as well, sunday at Shoreditch and Saturday at Westminster 12 to 2pm. Just show up and play (bring a ball if you have one).
Have fun in the Sand,
