The society is open to students of all abilities, and it is an inclusive space for women and non-binary people to play sports in a friendly, non-competitive environment. Each week, they offer a new sport, including classic favourites (netball, football, dodgeball). Or something a bit different (handball, Zumba, ice skating).
I’ve had a membership with NUWSSS for 2 years and really enjoy attending their events; joining the society has put the fun back into sports. My enjoyment of any sporting activity was tarnished during PE lessons at school, as my classmates were either aggressively competitive, or they would not participate at all. Fear not, NUWSSS events are a refreshing reminder that you can have a good time whilst playing sports!

The members are simply there to release some energy, try something new, make friends, or something equally as innocent. There’s no worry that a ball will be pelted full speed into your face, that’s for sure! The sessions usually last about an hour, with time for warming up and warming down in between. It’s great to have the opportunity to take part in structured sports sessions, and I always come away feeling fulfilled.
It’s a good idea to follow their account on Instagram, as they post updates and sign-up forms for each event.
