Welcome to the University of Warwick Women's Netball Club
TEAMS AND MATCHPLAY
As a performance sport club, on top of our regular training sessions, our performance sport teams have access to: specialised S&C coaching, injury prevention sessions, physiotherapy and nutrition guidance. This support will have a club wide impact in the long run as we progress to be able to offer a more elite training environment to attract top level athletes!
We have 4 BUCS teams which play regular weekly matches against universities located across the Midlands.
Our Development squads participate in regular match play against Midlands universities and local clubs throughout a local league year. Devs is a competivie and require comitment to weekly traing sessions. There will also be opportunities for Development teams to train and play with our BUCS squads.
League teams train once a week and have the oppotunity to play in the University Active League on Saturday mornings against other clubs and societies at the Sports Hub outdoor courts.
There are also additional tournaments available for all teams throughout the year including our interclub tournamnets and inter-university friendlies to be organised throughout the year.

SOCIALS
We are an inclusive club that offers a variety of socials that are open to all members. From weekly circles, themed bar crawls, and Ones to Watch, as well as team meals, an annual alumni brunch, and Christmas ball. We also offer both a domestic and international tour. At the beginning of the year you will be placed into a UWWNC 'family' which you will remain a part of throughout your time at UWWNC. This is where you will have 'family' meals before off-campus socials as well as 'family based' social events.
We circle every Wednesday at the Graduate (located within the Dirty Duck) from 7pm, followed by a night out to Pop!
FUNDRAISING
Members are encouraged to participate in regular fundraising opportunities throughout the academic year. Last year we had our first Charity Week raising money for our chosen chairty, Papyrus. Which was incredibly successful as we raised £770, a UWWNC record. Previously the club has run 4.2 million meters for the 4.2 million in poverty raising awareness for the Trussel Trust. These are just a few of the charity events that we have conquered over the years and something vital to being a member of UWWNC as we are keen to help make a difference in the world. Alongside our Charity commitments, we also hope to run a community-based project, Netball in Schools, where you can volunteer to teach netball to primary schools. This year we plan on creating more volunteering opportunities for our members in the local communities.
UMPIRING
You can practice umpiring at our Saturday Active League tournaments 12-4pm. Volunteer 50 hours and receive half price gym membership for the year!
