Netball

The 2024/25 season has been filled with exciting games, memorable wins, and a few tough losses. Our UPNC family has continued to grow with the addition of the IM2s, bringing us to five competitive teams and two super league teams in total 7 teams. These include 5 teams competing in the local PDNL league, of these five, two teams playing in BUCS, and two Super league teams representing us in the University Intramural Netball League. After such a successful year, we’re eager to carry this momentum into the 2025/26 season. We’re looking forward to welcoming both new freshers and returning members—our UPNC family, who we couldn’t be prouder of!

One of the highlights of being part of UPNC is our Wednesday socials. These themed nights take us on fun-filled adventures across the city, offering a great way to bond, let loose, and create lasting memories. But our socials don’t stop there—we also host sober events like coffee dates, scenic walks, and pottery painting, giving members a chance to connect in a more relaxed setting. Throughout the year, UPNC is also committed to giving back. We’re aiming to raise £500 for charity this year through a series of exciting and inclusive challenges that help strengthen our sense of community.

Welfare remains one of our top priorities. We strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone feels safe and valued. Our "Mother and Daughter" buddy system, weekly team check-ins by captains and vice-captains, and committee participation in “Look After Your Mate” training are just some of the ways we promote mental wellbeing and mutual support throughout the club.

Looking ahead to the 2025/26 season, UPNC is setting its sights high. Our key goals include fostering the development of all members with a strong emphasis on skill progression across every team. We aim to maintain a welcoming, inclusive environment for everyone, while also boosting our social media presence to better showcase the amazing things happening within the club. Competitively, we’re striving for our two BUCS teams to finish in the top 3 of their respective tiers. Whether you're looking to play competitively through trials or prefer a more relaxed and fun experience in our super league, there’s a place for everyone at UPNC.

To our returning alumni and new freshers, we can't wait to welcome you back to Plymouth and are excited about the new season ahead. We’re looking forward to seeing our teams rise to the top of the tables and secure league victories with a fresh new look for the club. 

Can’t wait to see you all, 

Lily (Chair) and Amelia (Vice-Chair) xxx
