The Cambridge University Women's Basketball Club (CUWBbC) is comprised of the Women’s Blues (Firsts) and Panthers (Seconds) teams, each comprising up to 15 registered players.
The Blues play in the BUCS Midlands 1A League and the BUCS Basketball Cup Competition while the Panthers, established in 2010, have begun to compete in the BUCS Midlands 3B League and the Midlands Conference Cup for the first time in 2016. As with all Cambridge sports, the Blues and Panthers' seasons culminate in the annual Varsity Matches against Oxford in March. Members of the Blues team have the opportunity to win 'Full Blues' each season if the team win the Varsity match and reach the Final 4 in the BUCS playoffs.
If you are coming to Cambridge as a fresher in September or October and are interested in playing basketball at university level, get in touch with us via our contact form. The Club also runs the College League for anyone interested in playing at a less competitive level and further details can be found on the College League section of this website.
