Individual player comments and suggestions:  Juniors U13

• Like the small group (x2)
• Like playing for fun, not just compete and win
• Enjoy participating in training
• We could coach ourselves, so we communicate more
• We could benefit from more serving practice
• Some sessions could be longer, eg 6-8pm (x2)
• Would like Saturday or Sunday, could we start at 5pm?

Individual player comments and suggestions:  Women

• Like playing as a team and in tournaments
• Enjoy gathering to play with all ages, abilities, genders (x2)
• Enjoy overlapping women and men sessions, practicing against a stronger team (x2)
• 8-10pm session is tricky for work/school next day, can we start earlier? (x3)
• Ideally train more than once a week to improve skills
• Ideally have a regular coach (more often) to help the team develop
• Maybe some players take a coaching course
• Would like more social opportunities to get to know other members (x2)
• It would be helpful if more women members helped at the men’s home matches

Individual player comments and suggestions:  Men

• Love the camaraderie, teamwork, team spirit, supportive atmosphere, friendly and welcoming attitude, welcoming juniors, giving everyone opportunity to play (x6)
• Generally satisfied to be a club member
• Lime Kiln location is right, maybe hold extra sessions elsewhere if necessary
• Ideally mid-week training from 7 or 8pm when there is a match on Sunday
• More serious approach to game and focus on team improvement
• More game time in training to improve
• Focus training on key skills that need to improve (eg 3 weeks in a row, eg on receiving and passing)
• Would welcome individual feedback on strengths and areas to improve (polite and constructive)
• Ideally more people to take responsibility to help run the club
