The University of Surrey Netball Club is one of the largest, most successful sports clubs at the university. We have a total of 6 teams ranging in level of play; 4 whom participate in BUCS to compete against Universities across the country, and a further 2 development squads playing in the Surrey Sports Park local league. Additionally, we offer an intramural league and PlaySport sessions for those looking for a fun way to keep fit.
The 2020/2021 season took a massive toll due to Covid-19, so we are aiming to make this upcoming 2021/2022 season the biggest one yet! However the club still managed to achieve the Caroline Newman Trophy at colours ball 2021 which meant Club of the Year 2021!
In 2019/20, we had a fantastic season with 2 BUCS teams – our 3rd and 4th squads – winning their respective divisions and gaining promotion for the coming season, despite not playing all their scheduled games due to COVID-19. Our 1st team continues to play in division 1A with the 2nd team closely behind in 2A! Our development section also had an amazing year with huge improvements made and a brilliant performance at the annual SHOTs tournament in March. We were honoured at Colours Ball with 2 team awards and multiple individual honours, including the Team Surrey award, and Club & Half colours.
In the 2018/19 season, our first team reached play-offs for the second time in three years. This followed on from the success had in 2016/17 season whereby we were promoted to Premier League and played in this elite category for the season of 2017/18 – a huge achievement for the club. Even more so, extending the success of the 2018/19 season were promotions for both the 2nd & 3rd team after smashing through their respective divisions. Because of this our Netball club were awarded Team Surrey Club of the year, the highest honour at Colours Ball.
