So you've watched the cricket with your family, but you've never played before? Or perhaps you held a bat before you could even walk? Either way, uwwcc has something for you.
We are an inclusive, dynamic and welcoming club, offering cricket for all abilities! With regular training and matches, as well as a variety of weekly socials and regular charity events, to be a part of uwwcc is to be a part of a family. You will make friends for life, whilst playing a great sport, and, most importantly, having fun!
Any questions please get in touch via our instagram or email, all our exec are super friendly and would love to help out and answer any questions!
Training
We have three training sessions a week - one is coached and the rest are run by our First Team Captain (Mriganka Nawale) and our Club Captain (Orla Goodall). These are FREE and open to all non-members and members in the first two weeks of term:
- Monday 17:30 - 19:30 @ Zone D, Sports and Wellness Hub
- Tuesday 16:30 – 18:00 @ Zone D, Sports and Wellness Hub (Rock-Up and Play)
- Friday 11:00 – 13:30 @ Zone D, Sports and Wellness Hub
Feel free to bring your own cricket kit, however, if you don’t have your own kit please don’t worry - we have plenty spare!
If you're not sure how to get to Zone D just drop us a message via Instagram and we'll make sure someone on the exec can meet you at the Cryfield Nets/Sports Hub :)
Matches
With a competitive BUCS* team (our First Team that plays in both the Indoor and Outdoor BUCS leagues), and friendly opportunities throughout the year, there are matchplay opportunities available for all levels of cricket ability. We don’t hold any trials for our teams - players are selected according to ability and attendance by our First XI Captain in the weeks coming up to a game.
NB: *BUCS = British University College Sports - the organisation responsible for competitive inter-university leagues and matches
Socials
Check out our social calendar on our instagram page!
We have a wide variety of socials to offer; whether you’re after a chill coffee chat, tenpin bowling, restaurant meal, or want a taste of circling & POP! in the copper rooms, we have something for you.
We also love to socialise with other sports clubs; from our annual WMD Ball with the Women's Football and Women's Rugby, to mixed bar crawls, quizzes and skills swaps with other clubs on campus, you can look forward to meeting lots of people through UWWCC!
Charities
Since 2018, we have worked closely with Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre (CRASAC), raising money for them through a wide-range of charity events.
We also host many charity socials, such as our cricket charity tournament and charity circle, and get involved with charity events with other clubs too; this last year we joined the Men’s Cricket Club in their 24hr One Hand One Bounce event, and also participated in CMD’s annual ‘Let’s dance for Sports Relief’.
Cost
We are an on campus club, so to join you must have the on campus membership (about £100) and the women's cricket membership (£6). If you need any financial help don't hesitate to get in contact, as we can help you out!
