    I play in the uk and i recently signed up for a list of potential players for a club (lets call it club A). I heard on good authority that i'll get into the club but i won't know definatively for some time, well i assume a time closer to next seasen.

    So i was playing at one of my reguler sessions (none club night) and i got talking to a few of the more advanced players, long story short my play impressed them and they invited me to anothers club (club B)

    Here's my dilema... ultimately i prefer club A, more respected better team overall:cool:. But i won't be able to play there for quite a while, whereas i can go to the training sessions at club B which sound very good, they use feathers and the courts nice, quite cheap too. So can i go to Club B's training sessions without becoming a 'member' or is it wrong to use them like this? :confused:I'm leaving the area in around one and a half years if thats something you need to know.

    Just be careful. I got into a slightly similar situation once and it didn't turn out so great. They might expect/hope for you to play for them in the future when you attend club B's training sessions.
    I reckon it's ok though, seeing as you were invited to tag along :) Lots of people do it, they just play for one team though.

    Sounds like you should use the opportunity to train with better players to develop yourself. If you ultimately want to play for club A then it would be best for you to let the organiser or players at club B know.

    Incidently, where in the UK do you play?

    Is it possible to join both? Then just let club A know that you can't join them for long, because of your personal reasons.

    You wouldn't want Club A to think that you are abandoning for club B when you cannot play at club A anymore because you are shifting:)
