The Academy

Progress by term, not luck.

A structured, levelled programme that runs term by term. You join at your level, work through a real curriculum, and finish the term measurably better than you started.

Questions

Good to know

When is the next intake?

The next intake is {ACADEMY_INTAKE_DATE}. Join the waitlist below and we'll confirm your level and time.

Can I start with no experience?

Yes. Foundation level starts from the very beginning.

What if I miss a week?

Let us know and we'll slot you into another level's session that week where there's space.

Is there an end-of-term event?

Yes — an internal tournament, open to family and friends to watch.

Do I need my own paddle?

Not to start. Most players buy one a few weeks in, and we'll advise on what suits your game.

How do levels work?

You're placed after a short assessment and can move up mid-term if you're ready.
