Bluetits (Netball)
Well hello; you've managed to stumble across Southampton's Medics' netball team & Medsoc's largest all female society - The Bluetits! Our training, matches, and socials are designed to fit around a busy medicine schedule allowing you to get your mind off medicine (we all need to sometimes!). We welcome girls of all abilities - whether you're a seasoned pro or haven't played since Year 9 PE! This year, we can't wait to maintain our Intramural (IM) league winners title and get playing other unis in the NAMS League. So if you're looking for weekly training, cracking socials, weekly hungover matches, and getting to know a lovely bunch of women, come and join us! Join our Facebook group (search "Bluetits Netball") for the full sales pitch and details, or get in touch with our Captain Belle Howlett! We are so excited to meet you and can't wait to see what this year will bring! ILTB :)
I probably shouldn't brag tooooo much, but this is a sales pitch after all, so here are our recent achievements!
-Winner of University of Southampton Intramural League 2018/2019/2020/2021/2022/2023
-Winner of the Medsoc Sports Society of the Year 2018/2019/2021
-Finalists in the National Association of Medical Schools (NAMS) Tournament 2019/2020/2023
-Winner of Medsoc Social Society of the Year 2017/2018
So what do we offer, you ask? Well...
-Weekly training nights (Wide Lane Sports Ground, 18:30-20:00) catered to a whole range of abilities. Whether you're a seasoned pro, or just getting back into the sport, we're here for you!
-Weekly Saturday night socials. We hold a prestigious reputation for our elite fancy dress taking on the roles of grannies, strawberries, London underground stations, Ursula, and even Giant African Snails...
-Weekly Sunday morning matches (FANTASTIC hangover cure)
-Competitive NAMS matches throughout the year
-Fun fitness sessions and challenges (if that's your thing!)
-Varsities (vs Brighton, Birmingham, and Portsmouth)
-Bluetits Mystery Tours! Once a year we go on holiday for a long weekend, where you find out the location at the airport! In recent years we have been to Budapest, Lisbon, Valencia, Warsaw and Barcelona
-Welfare Socials - From bring your own board nights to cupcake decorating we are here for when medicine gets a bit much. We also like to meet up on a Sunday afternoon for coffee, cake and of course a chinwag
-Revision Sessions - the best part of being in a society full of amazing women on your course, is that we all help each other through! Revision sessions are run by older girls in the run up to exam season. We also have a range of revision resources we like to share amongst tits
- We LOVE to get involved in many fundraising events such as PANTS, Medsoc Monty and Naked Calendar.
I hope this lengthy list has got the message across that we are SO MUCH MORE than a netball club!
We are a friendly, and approachable group of gals so join the page, or get in touch with anyone below on committee if you’re interested! Can’t wait to meet you all!
ILTB,
