ABOUT US!
Oh yeah, you've come to the right place! We are the UWL Warriors, one of the university's biggest sports teams and a multiple time recipient for the 'Sports Team of The Year' award. Join us for a brilliant range of opportunities to heighten your university experience! In our most recent years we have appeared on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, started a brand new team with a professional partnership, hosted a 10 year reunion with our brilliant previous members, competed nationally at our annual competition AND went abroad with our fellow sports teams (we do it all!)
We currently have 3 amazing teams, detailed below, for you to get stuck right into!
We can't wait to meet you - UP THE VALLEY!
COMP TEAM -
Our competition team trains every Monday evening 8-10PM, and is open to people of all abilities and levels. All you need is positivity and a willing attitude to try new things!
Each year we compete at the BCA Open University Nationals Competition in Telford, which is an amazing experience and a great end to the season.
On this team you will learn to jump, tumble, stunt and dance - no previous experience is required, you will receive all the training you need with us.
Our Competition Team Membership is £90. This covers the cost of a 2 hour training session with our fabulous coach, venue rental, insurance in the unlikely event that it is required, competition entry fee and travel to the event, admittance to our weekly Wednesday socials and a membership for our Poms team should you wish to be part of both teams!
POMS TEAM -
If the Competition team is not for you, then our Poms team may just be the perfect alternative!
This team meets each Thursday 8-9PM where we learn fun routines and skills, as well as learn chants in preparation to support our fellow sports teams at their matches on Wednesday afternoons.
In Spring, the University sporting event on everyone's minds is 'VARSITY', where our Poms team and other Warriors come together to support our fellow UWL sports teams at their matches. The Poms team will have at least one opportunity (in recent years two) to perform BIG halftime shows to get the crowd wild, which is this teams MAIN EVENT!!
If you would like to be part of a team that spreads positivity, is welcoming to every team member new and old, and has a lot of fun while doing it then we are the team for you.
Poms Membership is £45 or free with a Competition Membership which will cover the cost of an hour training session on Thursday nights, and you can also attend our weekly Wednesday socials where you can get to know people from our other teams and people from different UWL Sports Teams.
TRAILFINDERS TEAM -
We have been working hard to build up our performance team for you all to join! This team trains Thursday evening 6-8PM, straight before Poms training starts. We have partnered with our local professional Rugby club, Ealing Trailfinders, to choreograph and perform half-time routines and do their 'Guard of Honour' for each of their home matches.
This is primarily a display team with a lot of fab performance opportunities and has a high exposure, so we need our smiliest faces for this one! Games will be held approximately every 2-3 weeks on Saturdays. You will need to be free on the majority of these days, the dates will be sent in advance.
The Trailfinders Membership is £45 and this will cover the cost of a 2 hour training session on Thursday nights, and admittance to our weekly Wednesday socials.
