Initially call at the social session on a Monday night. There is always a member of the league committee on hand who can point you towards a league club in your area. The best time to join a club is May/June prior to the league season commencing in September, but there can be opportunities to join a club team during the season.
Clubs are often looking for reserve players for teams, and although you may not get a regular place, this is a good way of joining a club. Contact us to see if there are any clubs looking for players, alternatively you can contact a local club directly, see Clubs for further details.
Blackpool TTC sometimes have second hand tables and special deals on starter bats for junior players, for more information see items for sale, or ask a committee member in attendance on a Monday night.
