In the East Midlands Regional League, they finished third last term and were champions in 2011/12.
In the 2014/15 season, there was a new league formed to service the West Midlands, which focused on introducing new players to the sport and developing local talent to progress through to the other regional and national leagues.
The Villa Rockets finished second in this inaugural season.
The Rockets are always keen to increase participation and to introduce new players to the sport.
