Our Experience
Our family has been members for three years, and the multi-sport benefit is the biggest advantage. Our son plays cricket on Saturday mornings, swims on Tuesday afternoons, and does athletics on Thursday — all at one venue. The convenience is unmatched.
The coaching quality varies by sport, but cricket coaching is particularly strong. The club has produced several national-level cricketers.
Tips
- Apply early — membership waiting lists can be long
- Attend a family open day to get a feel for the club before committing
- Multi-sport membership is better value than single-sport
- The club canteen serves good, affordable food for post-session snacks
Our Verdict
4.2 out of 5 — if you can get membership, Bloomfield offers unmatched multi-sport convenience. The cricket programme alone is worth it.
