Facilities and Personal Opportunities:
We have access to great sporting facilities at the University; training will either be in the Danielle Sports Centre on campus or the Roger Bettles Sports Centre in Oadby. Not to mention our amazing coaches, Liz and Marie. With both being experienced Netball players they offer not only experienced advice but great insight in terms of gameplay. ULNC also offers oppurtunities for students. We currently have girls undertaking their Level 1 coaching and Level 1 Umpire qualifications. In terms of individuals, the Leicester Local League announced a ULNC member as Player of the Season 2017/18 and we are lucky to have a member scouted by Loughborough Lightning's U21 team for England Netball. Every year there is also the opportunity to run for a position of the Commitee, who focus on the running of the club, Wellbeing Officer, that focuses on the wellbeing and mental health of our members or Netball Officer, who is in charge of the Social Netball squad and works with England Netball to maintain a flexible sporting opportunity for students. This year we have initiatives working on the wellbeing, safety and career opportunities of members.
Social Opportunities:
Apart from that, we also have regular socials throughout the year for all members of the club and every member is put into a netball family. If you're looking for a big family to join when you come to University Netball is definitely the club for you! We often have joint socials with other sports teams to help members to socialise and meet a wide range of people. ULNC are also proud to host an annual 'Old Girls' event in which we welcome back ULNC alumni. Socials are themed evening events that usually follow on to the Student Union - 02 Leicester.

Each year we go on an annual tour, it’s a great way to make friends, meet new people and have the ultimate student experience - and all as cheap as chips! We also hold campus wide events including last year's Blood Testing station in conjunction with NHS blood.
