NEW FOR 2008/2009 SEASON:
The Club Exec have listened to feedback from you, our members, and have been sat indoors over the summer (while it’s been raining outside) working hard to improve the Five-A-Side experience for you even further for the coming season, building on the huge success of previous years. Don’t worry though: we’ve kept most of what’s gone before exactly the same because we know that you think it’s a winner! Having said that, we think you’ll welcome the improvements we’ve made. They include:
New 'in-house' booking system. Teams can now choose from our list of around 80 pre-booked slots on uw5.co.uk when challenging on a Sunday (option 2) rather than having to book a pitch through the Sports Centre in advance of challenging (option 1). From now on, where possible, you should choose option 2 (pre-booked slots).
Expanded ladder structure. This season the league competition will consist of 6 ladders instead of 4 – as in previous seasons. A common complaint in the past was that ladders contained too many teams and so teams starting at the bottom were unfairly disadvantaged. The new structure means there’ll be fewer teams in each ladder, allowing able and well organised teams plenty of time to work their way from the bottom to the top of their ladder.
Finals Week 2009. This year we’ll be holding the Champions League, Plate and Oliver Wyman Cup finals all in one bumper week in Term 3. It’s gonna be a football-fest in the Sports Centre with an electric atmosphere! Not to be missed! Check out pics from last season’s finals here.
New-look website and re-branding. We know our members wanted a new look so we’ve shaken things up a bit and added a bit of spice. We think you’ll like the new full-width web pages and new design. We’re even using the site address – uw5.co.uk – as the brand for the Club because, let’s face it, the Club pretty much revolves around this website.
UW5 Facebook group. We know how much our members (students) love Facebook, so we jumped on the bandwagon and created ourselves a Facebook group for the Club. Join the group here and join in the banter or perhaps advertise that left-back vacancy in your team.
We know some teams like to ‘look smart, play smart’, so we’ve only gone and signed a partnership deal with a kit supplier who’s offering our members great deals on team kits. See our Club Shop section for details. Or click here!
Futsal. For those of you wanting to play football in its purest form, we’re pioneering a Futsal league at Warwick for the first time this season. Details to follow soon!
