Players will try out all of the different skill positions in a fun cycle of individual drills before putting those skills to the test in a joint scrimmage for their first taste of gameplay.
All players will need is their own sports gear, a bottle of water and suitable footwear for playing on grass.
Lincolnshire Bombers head coach, Michael Etheridge, said: “Our Rookie Open Days are a great opportunity for anyone to try something new.

“These sessions allow a group of players with no previous experience to get together and enjoy a game.
“Our coaching staff will help them to improve and get ready for joining the team when our pre-season starts in January.”
Lincolnshire Bombers formed in 2005 after the previous county side, founded in the 1980s, disbanded the following decade, and for the last two seasons they have made the national play-offs.
