About Us

The Women's Basketball club accepts players of all abilities. Joining the team is a great opportunity to make new friends, improve your fitness levels and have some fun.

Training

General training will take place Tuesday 18:00-20:00 at Nancy Astor sports hall (on campus). As we approach BUCs games we often rent out the hall for extra training, but we make sure the timings of this suit everyone and will be decided at the time. 

Trails and Taster sessions 

First session is always free! So at any point if you would like to come along to try out the club please do so!

BUCS

We will be running trials for our BUCs team during the first few sessions, so bring your best efforts!!

If you try out for our BUCs team, this is the Western Tier 1 team. We compete against 5 other teams. This will involve some long travel days on a Wednesday. If you make the squad it will require dedication to the sport, teamwork and the club. 

Socials

Socials ("nights out") are held reguarly, alongside the Men's Basketball team on a Wednesday night (most of which will be themed!). We also hold some 'sober socials' as well as well, so there is something for everyone ! During the first month of University, we will hold extra socials as a way for everyone to settle into the team and get to know each other! Just before the Christmas holidays, a Christmas meal at a restaurant is organised, usually with the men's team, and at the end of the academic year, a final meal out together is organised where we hand out awards within the club voted by the club! 

For any questions please come see us at the Sports Fair on Sunday the 23rd of September 11:00-16:00 or alternatively you can message our instagram or email us. 

Looking forward to meeting you :)
