Our partnership with London Mavericks

We are the official university partner of London Mavericks for the next two years, in a move that will support the top Netball Super League (NSL) team with their athlete’s development, alongside a host of benefits for Herts students.

Our logo is also proudly displayed on the club's kit, as well as on courtside boards at all their home-venues.

Benefits of the partnership

Formalising an existing relationship between Herts and London Mavericks – with a number of Herts performance netball students already playing for the London Mavericks Next Generation Squad - the collaboration will see Herts students gain exclusive access to a range of work and educational opportunities at the leading netball club, while also providing the opportunity for Maverick players to study at the University.

This partnership will benefit our Herts community in many ways:

  • opportunity for an exclusive apprenticeship position with the club
  • paid and unpaid internship opportunities, shadowing a wide range of professional disciplines
  • the chance for students to support London Mavericks matchdays, community projects and events as a volunteer, providing an invaluable opportunity to develop skills and experience
  • match ticket giveaways
  • guest speakers in our lectures.
The London Mavericks is one of the best netball teams in the UK Netball, while netball is a flagship sport here at Herts, with our university team achieving significant national success. To make our already strong relationship an official partnership is a progressive move that will bring benefits to both our students and the Mavericks team players through educational opportunities. “We have a strong record of providing the right dual career environment, with opportunities for athletes to enable them to perform at their best in both their chosen sport as well as academically, and we look forward to seeing more athletes succeed as a result of this new partnership.
