Questions about visiting a club

How do I find a club that suits me?

Use the city or club search, or choose a place from the Cities list. The club cards show the same details here and in each city directory. There are 15 listings on this page.

What does a club visit cost?

A membership or single-visit amount is available for 1 of the 19 listings here. These are separate fees: read the programme, currency and payment period beside each amount. Ask the club about any price marked Unknown before booking.

Where can I see the meeting days?

Meeting days are recorded for 3 of the 19 listings. Read the session name as well as the time: lessons, casual play and tournaments can use different schedules. Dated events and venue opening hours are labelled separately in the details.

How can I find sessions for children or beginners?

Age-group information is available for 3 of the 19 listings. Check the minimum age and playing level in Details. If age or level is missing, it is not clear whether the club can accept a particular player; ask about the session you want to attend.

Can I try a session or take lessons?

Look for Teaching, Trial lesson and Trial visit in the expanded card. They describe different offers. If an offer is listed, check its programme and fee; if it is unknown, ask the club whether a first visit or lesson needs booking.

Which address should I use?

Read the address label on the card. Playing venues, postal addresses and event venues have different purposes. The map shows recorded locations where usable coordinates are available; confirm the venue for the session if several addresses are listed.

How do I check or correct the information?

Open Sources to see the URL and recorded check date for each available detail. Unknown means no source gives this detail yet. Report a change with the club name and a public source if something has changed.
