What we’re about
Benchball Babes is a new friendly, non-competitive, no-ability-needed sports club for women & non-binary folk who’d otherwise feel they lack the confidence/ability/desire to join a ‘traditional’ team. We exist to recreate all the fun of the best (read: easiest) childhood ball game with none of the secondary school PE class trauma. 🙃
🏐 WHAT IS BENCHBALL?
Benchball is a team sport played with the primary objective of ‘scoring’ by passing the ball to a teammate standing on a bench. It is played informally in schools and semi-competitively in universities in the United Kingdom.
💚 WHAT WE’LL DO
Plan & deliver regular sessions that involve a mix of large and mini games, warm-ups and simple exercises. There will also be opportunities for socials as the club grows!
Contributions towards venue hire + equipment are much appreciated. 💕 Details to follow.
I’m looking for co-organisers to help input ideas because I’m literally just a girl and have NO CLUE what I’m doing?!
