If you are leaving School:

And you want to play in a good standard of competition in Christchurch you need to look for a club which has Premier level teams, it is good to trial at a club which has a range of Premier teams so that you get a feel for where you belong. Contact the club and don't be afraid to ask questions about coaches, club activities or any of the things that are important to you. It is important to find a club where you will feel comfortable and where you can play at the level that willl help you develop your play.

And you want to play for fun and excercise you should look for a club which offers more social teams in senior grades. Always remember that when you are joining a club you are making a commitment to be part of a team for the whole season. Contact the club and don't be afraid to ask questions about teams and club activities or any of the things that are important to you. The club may require you attend trials. Don't be put off as it is a good way to get a feel for how the club operates and to work out if it is what you are looking for. If you want to play a more social grade make it clear from the start so that the club can place you in the right team. It is important to find a club where you will feel comfortable and where you will feel comfortable and where you can play at the level which you will enjoy participating.

And you want to play with a group of friends you could approach a club and ask to enter a team under their umbrella. You will have to pay their fees and will be subject to any rules they have.
