Performance Netball
Players studying at University of Nottingham join one of the university’s fastest developing programmes, with access to some of the best netball facilities in higher education sport. Following a phenomenal season in 2018/19 the 1st team won the trophy cup and secured promotion to the BUCS Premier North for the first time since 2008. With great links between the University and England Netball the facility has already hosted a number of major NPL events and competitions.
The training programme includes both on and off court sessions, a strength and conditioning programme and classroom and tactical sessions. Talented athletes including Emily Hollingworth of Loughborough Lightning and England U19 International Ally Housley are amongst some of the clubs most recent stars.
