Anyone interested in joining or rejoining the local club will be made very welcome. Just turn up at the Amphitheatre on a Thursday evening, or if you prefer, ring Roger Bell on 07980 514186 for more information. Fully qualified coaches will be in attendance at all sessions.

The Club will field four senior teams and a Mid-Week league team this season, with the Firsts participating in the NCU Section One. Teams will again also be fielded in league and cup competitions at under-17, under-15, under-13, and under-11 age groups.

Expert coaching will be available throughout the season from a team of 11 qualified coaches led by new overseas player-coach Indrajeet Kamtekar from India, and the newly-appointed Youth Development coach, Jamie Holmes.

The coaching team also includes Ryan Eagleson, the current Ireland Under-19 coach and one of the few Level 4 coaches in Ireland.

The Carrick club is one of the few in Northern Ireland to have achieved Sport NI Club Accreditation and its playing and social facilities are the envy of many.
