What we have to offer:

Members of ULFC can expect an enjoyable yet competitive environment to football throughout the whole University football pathway. We have 5 teams all competing in BUCS midlands, with high ambitions to dominate their respective league campaigns. You have the opportunity to be coached by our 3 professional coaches if you have what it takes to play at our highest levels. We also have a developement programme which is student led, and there is always opportunity to impress the team captaoins of our BUCS squads to get yourself into the teams after trials.

We train twice per week on Thursday and Sunday, with matches taking place on Wednesday evenings. After a winning wednesday, the boys head to our weekly social event to celebrate and live University life to the fullest, a great way to put yourself out there and form lifelong relationships.

What Team Leicester Membership do we recommend?

To allow you to play within BUCS, you will require the Standard Team Leicester Membership, this covers training facilities and entries to the leagues etc. However, with the Gold membership, you are able to access many other facilities, including the University gyms and pools. These facilities are great for providing additional strength and conditioning to pair alongside your training, general fitnes and most importantly your recovery!

Campus League:

 

Fancy creating a team with your mates and playing each week? Or just riding solo and finding a new team to join?

We offer a 7-Aside league all year round, as displayed on our instagram @ULFC_IMS

The 7-Aside runs every Sunday evening, perfect for those reovering from a saturday night. Our 7-a side is very popular and will sell out extremely quickly, so make sure tok get you and your mates signed up ASAP by contacting the IMS instagram. 

 

 

 

 

 

The Development programme:

Here at ULFC we want as many people playing football as possible, so if you're interested in a calmer approach of football then we have our development squads who play in our weekly Campus Leagues.

Not only does the Development offer a more fun environment, but if you see yourself unsuccessful in Trials, it gives you the opportunity to play under a team captain who will be ensuring missed talent makes its way into the BUCS Teams. Last year alone we had 7 players make their way through the development into the 5s. So if you don't make it through first time, don't stress as there is plenty of chances all year round to get yourself into the squads.

If you are a Development player within Men's Football you only require the Club membership to play. If you are then promoted to a BUCS Team you will require the Standard Team Leicester Membership as well.
