Durham University Women’s Cricket Club (DUWCC) is an inclusive club that caters to all abilities. We have 2 BUCS squads which train and compete both indoor and outdoor.
Training times vary every year but we tend to have around 3 or 4 sessions a week for both the 1s and 2s in order to fit around academic life and other extracurricular activities. Along with indoor net sessions we also offer strength and conditioning sessions, track sessions and focus on sports psychology.
Facilities
The Racecourse: We are extremely lucky to play at The Racecourse, where Durham County Cricket Club used to play. We have been host to legends all around the world and the ground is an inspiration for those who want to go on to play at higher echelons.
Maiden Castle Indoor Centre: We are fortunate to use the incredible facility in The Sport and Wellbeing Park. Our training takes place here during the winter and has 5 lanes, Merlyn and BOLA Bowling Machines, and a range of other equipment to help our players develop in the off-season.
Performance Gym: We are fortunate to use the performance gym in the same facility to develop our physical fitness throughout the year with our dedicated fitness and S&C leads.
