Netball

Our 2025/2026 season has been full of memorable games with strong wins, a few tough losses and intense draws. With many returning members and a large intake of new players into the UPNC family, our club has kept our 5 competitive teams in our local PDNL league, the top 2 teams also competing against other Universities in BUCS. We are very proud of all of our teams performances throughout the year and we hope to continue this level of dedication and achievement going into next season.

For the 2026/2027 season, members will be able to trial for these competitive teams, and if successful have weekly games and training sessions with our amazing Coach Lou. This year, we will also be re-starting our IM league where members of the UPNC Superleague can play weekly social games against the other societies at University. There is no need to trial for IM so everyone a chance to develop their current skills and potentially progress up through the teams or just learn a new sport and do some exercise in their free time. 

UPNC isn’t just a sports society, we also hold weekly themed socials on Wednesday nights. This ranges from painting yourself head-to-toe, or simply chucking on a tie and calling yourself Channing Tatum. These are run by our lovely social secs who will look after you on a night out and make sure you have the best time while getting the infamous University experience. We also offer sober socials if you are after something a bit more relaxed, where the whole club can get together for activities such as film nights and varsity sign making. At the end of the first term we hold our Christmas Dinner, and at the end of the academic year we hold our Summer Ball to celebrate our successes. To help you settle into UPNC, we run a ‘Mother & Daughter’ set-up where you are essentially adopted by an old girl, who will show you the ropes at University.

Being a student-led society, we understand how hard moving away from home can be, so your wellbeing and safety is one of our top priorities. Our Health & Safety secretary will always be on hand, so support is always available.

We look forward to seeing what this coming year holds and watching our teams progress. To our returning members we are excited to welcome you back, and to our new fresh faces, we can’t wait to meet you after the summer break.
