Socials:
One of the best things about joining UEANC is the social side! Many of our girls have made friends for life, through the regular socials organised by our dedicated Social Secs. These can range from themed LCR nights out, live netball matches, SPORTS NIGHTS, trampolining, meals out and bbq's, cinema trips and joint socials with lots of other clubs. Our social calendar is already filling up so get ready for a jam-packed year of fun!
Trials:
Our team selection takes place via trials, this is nothing to be worried about and is actually a really fun few days! Everyone will take part in a series of matches during which our coaches and selectors will be able to watch and ultimately make team decisions. To keep things completely fair old girls re-trial each year so every place is up for grabs!
Please book onto an appropriate slot, and ensure you buy a trials ticket before entering your details into the spreadsheet. Please try and fill the sessions from the start!
This year our trials will comprise of 3 phases:
- PHASE 1- Monday 25th September 6:00-10:00pm, held on the indoor courts
- An initial trial for ALL non-BUCS returners and anyone new wanting to join!
- PHASE 2- Wednesday 27th September 1:00-3:40pm, held on the indoor court
- For returning BUCS team players and selected individuals ONLY!
- PHASE 3- Wednesday 27th September 3:40-5:40pm, held on the indoor court
-For non-BUCS teams and selected individuals!
An email will be sent out by the evening of Tuesday 26th informing you of where you need to be and when for phase 2.

Additional Cost of Sport Ranges
The additional cost of sport project, which was created by the Students’ Union, alongside uea+sport, is designed to give prospective members information on the range of costs they may face in joining their chosen sport.
This range should be taken as guidance. For compulsory costs, this price includes uea+sport membership which is £55, and you only need to pay once to join all of our clubs.
When considering additional costs, some clubs may have none and others may have further costs. This is often dependent on the level of competitiveness for the sport you get involved in, and so recreational or socially playing may be cheaper. You may also have equipment which can be used between multiple sports, for example shoes or gum shields.
For any questions, please ask the sport club for specific further information, or union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for further information on the project.
Many thanks,
Luke Johnson
