To put it in a good way woody said last night, you wouldn't turn up at a football session and expect to be able to play in the games straight away
I have spoken to my mate who does martial arts and he said the do a tired system, beginner, intermediate and advanced. This keeps people of a similar skill level together, allows the better people to improve and gives people goals to aim for.
we would only need 2 levels and i think were being to nicey nicey, use the 'safety' factor as well as a time factor, for example after a few months of people being at the beginners sessions if there upto a 'safe' standard they can play on Thursdays
it will be hard to tell people but we should say 6:30 untill 7:30 everyone can play as it is now, then if you want to play after that you have to keep practicing get to an experienced level and start paying. this will mean beginners can still play thursdays get into the sport etc but that the more experienced players still get 2 full hours of play with people of a similar skill
re helmets, i think leave it to the players discretion, personally i think we should all start wearing them tho TBH
