Hey, just read your post now, and thought this might be of help to you for trying to find a team to play with/join, seeing that your also from Dagenham;

They play air ball, and at different levels, been either a home country tourney or in the european scene, if your into playing ball, this would be a great place to start.
There a very nice bunch of people and are more then willing to take up newcomers as well as experienced as they have numerious teams. I have trained with these guys before and there very friendly indeed, just ask them questions and they'll give you their honest opinions about equipment. give Claire a buzz, shes more then helpful and may be able to tell you when that site will be next opened this year, I'm sure there all gagging to get back to playing so im sure you wont have to be waiting too long
Again, hope this helps as I know trying to find a place to play isn't easy sometimes, so I hope what I have written about my own experiences with them will give you an idea of what they are like.
Best of Luck!
