Training

We train every Tuesday and Thursday (Sept – April)
19:00 - 20:30

Training sessions are set by our professional coaching team and are adapted each week to suit the needs of the Squad.  Changing facilities, hot showers and player's teas are available after each session in the Clubhouse and physio sessions can be booked for those players with niggles or injuries.

The Gazelles are very proud to announce they held their first ever 2nd team squad playing on Sunday 14th December 2025. This is an amazing achievement to produce 2 teams and thanks to the coaching team for the dedication and input to help this happen.
