Description
We are the Winchester Angels, a dynamic and inclusive women’s basketball team that welcomes individuals, regardless of experience or ability. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, we believe basketball is for everyone and we make sure everyone feels part of the team.
Angels, we’re not just about the game we’re about having fun, making new friends, and creating a supportive community both on and off the court. Our mission is to provide a space where players can develop their skills, compete, and enjoy being part of something bigger than just basketball.
We compete in BUCS and organise friendly matches whenever possible, providing plenty of opportunities to get involved in competitive play. No matter your skill level, we’re here to help you grow and enjoy the sport.
Training Schedule:
- Tuesdays, 18:00-20:00: Our main training session. It’s not too hard and is enjoyable, pushing ourselves to improve while having a good time.
- Sundays, 17:00-19:00: A slightly more relaxed session, depending on the numbers. Perfect for those looking to take things at a slightly slower pace or who may be new to basketball.
We also want to make sure everyone feels welcome, so if you haven’t had much basketball experience, don’t worry! We’re all about learning together and enjoying the process.
Outside of training, we make time for fun and socialising. We’re regulars at BOP every week, especially on game days, to celebrate and bond with our teammates. We also enjoy quiz nights, awards nights, pub outings, and other social activities to strengthen the friendships within our society and going on tour! Even if you’re not super into basketball, you’re still part of the Angels! We’re a team that values the people behind the game, and if you love being social, going out, and hanging out with a great group of people, you’re still an essential part of our squad. Whether you show up for training or just join us for socials if you’re with us, you’re an Angel, and that’s what matters!
We’re a lovely group, and that extends beyond the court. We organise sober socials and decide as a team what fun activities we’d like to do together, anything that helps us connect.
If you’re looking for a team that’s about more than just basketball, and if you want to meet new people, have fun, and develop your skills, we’d love to have you! No experience is required, just a willingness to learn and a love for the game.
Come along to our training sessions or get in touch for more details. We can’t wait to welcome you to the Angels family!
