Hallam Warriors

Although only entering the league in 2003, the Warriors have already won one Northern Divisional Title and have competed in the playoffs in 3 of those 5 seasons.

Last year 3 of our players were asked to join one of our coaches as members of the Great Britain Lions (senior full representative side). We strive to give our players sound fundamentals that many take with them to contribute to senior teams around the country. In fact we currently have one of our players starring in the semi-professional Arena Ball ranks over in the States.

Although we strive towards club silverware, the focus of our training program is to develop our players so they reach their full potential. It does not end there as we foster a support network that is available to current and former players alike.

We recognise that part of taking ourselves to the next level on the field is to improve ourselves off the field. This involves creating and maintaining successful partnerships with local businesses. We are a progressive club who are looking to raise its profile in the community and those of the companies that support us.

Our vision is to be renowned as a forward thinking, enterprising and business engaged university. We will be known for providing a high quality and cutting edge learning experience, for research which has a real world impact and for being a catalyst in economic and social transformation.

We will build on our existing strength to attain an international reputation as a leader in applied design and creativity and in healthcare and active lifestyles.
