📅 14 & 15 November 2026

The fixture will be a two-day event featuring free training workshops for all members, as well coaching, refereeing, and club leadership seminars!

Tournament Format

Saturday

Saturday is completely free and open for anyone who wishes to attend. This extends to non-student members, as well as members of clubs.

Saturday will feature training, drills, coaching, and mixed friendly matches throughout the afternoon between those attending, intended as a warm-up ahead of the main games on Sunday.

Simultaneously, seminars will be held by experienced community members, educating and training the next wave of volunteers and club leadership, covering coaching tips, referee workshops, and leadership insights.

Attendance is optional for the Saturday. However, we highly encourage clubs and their players to attend as this will be a great opportunity to meet the wider community, gain some new skills both on and off the pitch, and also be a great introduction to the sport.

There will also be a social on the Saturday evening, with an emphasis on meeting and getting to know other members of the community.

Sunday

Sunday will follow a more typical format, starting in the morning and allowing attending clubs to compete with each other.

A focus will be on the development for both players and volunteers - allowing new referees and coaches a chance to get to grips with managing the game.

Results from these games will inform seeding for the British University Quadball Cup in Spring 2027.
