We're Unicorns, the multi award-winning netball club for queer folk (and allies) of all genders and abilities.
Our mission is simple: provide opportunities for queer people of all gender identities to access netball in a safe and inclusive environment.
We've been around for five years, and are now launching in Brighton & Hove with a beginner-friendly coached session during Pride Month.
So, if you've always wanted to give netball a go, but never felt comfortable or confident, come along to our session on 28 June.
What to expect:
- Opening remarks from club Founder and Coach followed by introductions
- A gentle warm-up.
- Approximately 45-60 minutes of drills work to equip you with the basic skills to play netball.
- Around 60 minutes of matchplay to put those skills to the test. This will be lots of short games, so you can try different positions to see what works for you.
- A fun, inclusive session led by an England Netball Level 3 Coach.
- A non-competitive, and friendly environment. More experienced players are welcome to join us too, but we ask you to adapt your play to whoever you're partnered up with or playing against.
- A post-session social at a queer venue in Brighton.
Allies to the whole LGBTQIA+ Community are welcome to attend Unicorns sessions, but spaces are prioritised for community members, especially Trans and non-binary people, plus those from under-represented ethnic backgrounds
(Financial accessibility is a key pillar of our not-for-profit club, but we need to charge for tickets to cover our expenses. If you're in a position to pay for someone else's ticket, please use the donation option when you buy your own ticket.)
