ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 2017, Revolution Netball began its journey as an inter-university ISOC netball club. Led by Faiza Siddiqi at the LSE, our aim was simple: to get more Muslim and BAME women into sport. The club quickly expanded, being featured on England Netball, Islam Channel and AMALIAH.

In 2021, we rebranded to Revolution Netball, opening our doors to Muslim women of all ages and backgrounds across London. Our legacy has been passed down through generations of captains and committees, each committed to carrying the mission forward. We moved from our original Waterloo site to Somerstown in 2022.

Fast forward to 2026, we’ve evolved to become so much more than a netball club. Revolution Netball is a diverse community, where long-lasting friendships have been forged on and off the netball court. Our weekly training sessions are a safe and inclusive space for Muslim women to develop their netball abilities, whilst our league team hone their skills in competitive matches. Alongside our sporting activities, we host regular social events to bring our growing community together, such as picnics, summer rounders, iftars and an annual dinner. 

Together, we are a movement, shaping a vibrant community where Muslim women can grow, connect and thrive in team sport and beyond.

OUR MISSION

  • Night scene of women playing basketball on an outdoor court, with some women standing and reaching up, and others watching, surrounded by a tall fence, with a brick building and people in the background.

    1. bringing muslim women together

    Our weekly netball sessions provide a space for Muslim women of all ages and abilities to practise their faith, stay active, and forge new friendships offline - nurturing a meaningful community one game at a time.

    The Revolution Netball community currently consists of over 400 members, and continues to welcome more new faces with every session.

    2. BUILDING sisterhood on and off the court

    Through regular social events, outings and activities that centre faith and sisterhood, Revolution Netball provides opportunities for our members to connect with each other beyond the game. Because we’re more than just a netball club.

    3. BREAKING DOWN barriers to participation

    We believe that netball is a sport that Muslim women can feel included in and inspired by. Continuing to play after leaving education is often inaccessible and challenging, especially due to significant under-representation in the sport.

    Our weekly sessions cost just £5, and are open to players of all abilities.
