PERFORMANCE SQUAD
We are very excited to announce that in 2025, our first team became a Performance Squad! All players accepted into the first team now have access to strength and conditioning sessions tailored to the team's needs, as well as access to excellent sports facilities, physiotherapy, and team workshops on nutrition, psychology, and more. Our performance squad competes in BUCs Matches, LUSL Prem div matches, and The London Varsity Series. Previously, our 1s have won Macadam Cup against GKT in 2023 and 2024, Runners up to the LUSL Cup Final in 2024, and in 2026, our girls took it to extra time against UCL at Varsity - so we eagerly await challenging them again next season!
If you are a premier level player - we highly encourage that you contact us via our instagram or email to see how we can help you on your netball journey!
Further information about our 26/27 trials (for all competitive teams) will be posted on our instagram!
SOCIAL LIFE
In our opinion, uni life just isn't complete without our Sports Night Socials!! Every Wednesday night, whether we have won or lost that day, we meet up for an evening of fun. We go to a wide variety of locations, including KCLSU official venues such as the Vault and Guys Bar, as well as other venues such as Dover Castle, Simmons, Cafe Nawaz, Sway, The Old School Yard and many more. This makes us the perfect place to explore different parts of London, and get to experience fun venues and activities.
We partner up with lots of other societies from within Kings and across London, giving the perfect opportunity to meet a wide range of other students. Last season, we had joint socials with KCL Rugby, KCL Football, UCL Rugby, LSE Football, and GKT Football - no doubt there will be many more collabs this season! Christmas Dinner and End of Season Dinner are the perfect opportunity to dress up and celebrate as a club all that we have achieved that term.
There is never any pressure to drink at our socials, and everyone is always welcome to bring friends, flatmates and anyone else with them! Additionally, we host sober wellbeing socials such as ice-skating, sign-painting and movie nights. This season we will be introducing a fresher accommodation buddy system so that freshers have someone to travel to and from events with.
Additionally, we do work alongside several charities. Last year, our partner charity was CoppaFeel! Breast Cancer Awareness, and we hosted a Charity Netball Match with mens rugby (which sold out!), and a pub quiz with KCLWRFC & KCLWFC. We aim to continue and grow these events next season!
Our season wraps up before exams, but the highlight for many girls is our overseas tour in June. Previous locations include Valencia, Malaga, Malta and more! Some may even say that we host the best tour out of any KCL societies.....
Our first social will be on the Wednesday 23rd of September 2026 - the perfect way to spend your Freshers Week Wednesday! Keep an eye on WhatsApp and Instagram for updates.

Monday - LUSL MATCHES

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GKT AND KCL NETBALL?
Both clubs are official university clubs and there is a strong rivalry between them. KCLNC accept players of all degrees, and whilst KCLNC is fractionally smaller than GKT, we more than make up for it! We pride ourselves on not only offering highlevel netball, but also having the most fun of any King’s clubs off court!
All of our teams train in the same location - Canada Water. This means not only are we the most centrally based competitive netball club at kings, but we are also more centrally based that majority of other sports including women’s football, rugby and hockey! Our performance squad is in the premier division for London Universities, and all of our teams offer quality competitive netball - with PLENTY of fun!
At KCL netball our social life is much more varied (no guys bar week after week 😉), hitting a variety of London hotspots! We also socialise with a lot more clubs - as much as we love our male counterpart at KCLRFC, we also love doing socials with other unis, and other women’s sports teams 🥰
We promise if you join KCLNC you will see why we are the best the Netball Club at Kings!
We can't wait for you to join the KCLNC family ❤️💙
