University Games
|
Each year, Australian University Sport offers
100 sporting events each year, culminating in the prestigious
Australian University Games (AUG). This is exactly as it sounds - University pitted against University. Players are selected in over 40 sports, to represent their university in a very high standard competition. Netball is one of the most popular IV sports. 12 teams are sent to AUG each year. these teams are selected at a regional qualifying events - the Eastern, Southern, Western and Northern University games. UNSW is part of the Eastern Conference and every year we send a womens and mixed team to EUG in July, in order to qualify for the Australian Games held in October. The standard is high, particularly for the womens event - although mixed is catching up extremely quickly. In order for our women's team to qualify the team must be, on average, approximately State League Division 3 standard. For our mixed team to qualify they would need to be (at least) an extremely strong A-grade side. Each year, we select the best of our UNSW players to compete at IV events. The week is very full on, both on and off the court. There are many social events and every year our players come back saying it was one the best weeks of their university lives! All players selected into our IV teams are listed on our Club Honours page as it is, indeed, a prestigious team to be a part of. Sign me up! |
