Welcome to UBRS - University of Birmingham Roundnet Society!

Shortlisted for 2023/24 Kickstart Award!

Roundnet is a new and exciting sport you may not have heard of, but it's a growing sport on the rise!

It's a fast-paced and strategic 360 degrees game played by two teams of 2 and begins with one player serving the ball by hitting it onto the trampoline-like net with their hand. The opposing team must receive the serve by setting the ball to one another (much like in volleyball). A team can have a maximum of 3 touches of the ball to return it back onto the net and continue the rally. If a team fails to return the ball to the net, their opponents win a point.

We run sessions at least twice a week with the goal to get everyone confident with the rules and gameplay. We aim to provide both casual and competitive sessions, the opportunity to compete in tournaments nationally, other events and more! Come and learn a new sport with us, have some fun, meet new people and take part in our silly socials.  If you’re looking to pick up a new sport that’s seriously addictive - you’re in the right place.
