Women’s football & futsal is one of the main female sports available at the University of Leicester. Our club focuses on creating a cohesive community within sports, as well as an environment for members to develop themselves as players and as people. Regardless of your experience, we aim to give all members equal opportunities to try something new and work on various skills. Joining will also give you the chance to represent your university during both home and away games around different parts of the midlands! Strengthening relationships and communication between team members is not only worked on during training. Our Wednesday socials give everyone an opportunity to get to know one another, dress up and be part of the uni experience. Some honourable mentions from last season are our Christmas party, I’m a Celeb social and Pub Golf. Sober socials and other social opportunities like trips or even study sessions will also be organised throughout the year! Official football training is held twice a week on Monday and Tuesday evening at the UoL sports centre in Oadby, with an additional Friday ‘Let’s do Leicester’ session available. Don’t worry, the university provides free shuttlebuses from the main campus to the centre all year round. Futsal training will take place on Saturdays, early afternoon at the Danielle Brown sports centre, with extra training times currently being revised within the committee. Teams ULWFC is a club at the University of Leicester with two official football teams and one futsal team playing in the BUCS midlands league. The 1s and 2s football squads aim to work on players performance through weekly BUCS league and cup matches. If a 11-a-side isn’t for you, our 5-a-side Futsal programme could be! The team focuses more on fast paced and skill based plays with plenty of opportunities for matches throughout the year. This year outside of BUCS games, we hope to form a development team for players who want to focus on gaining more experience in match settings. Such games will be in the form of friendlies with neighbouring universities organised based on availability and demand. In addition to BUCS games, based on player performance, a varsity squad will selected for both Football and Futsal at the end of the season to compete against DMU, our rival university. Looking at the upcoming season and our BUCS football standings, the 1st team will keep their place in the 2nd league whilst the 2nd team will now be promoted to play in the 3rd league. The futsal squad will also remain in the 2nd league. Good luck to all teams this season! Memberships Club membership for the whole season is TBC This can be purchased directly here on our SU page.
