About The Ospreys

The Ospreys are a society run by and for the University of Cambridge’s elite sportswomen; we aim to raise the profile of women’s sport and create a supportive network for our alumnae.

The Ospreys Senior Committee - who are all alumnae themselves - remain involved in the University and in the managing of the Ospreys Junior Committee. The Junior Committee are all students currently at Cambridge and are annually voted in by our members. You'll see them at all the events sporting the lovely Ospreys’ blazer!

The Ospreys focus on building networks, developing careers and sporting potential and being a trusted support system to help achieve excellence. All of our members are talented young ladies who work tirelessly in their respective sports, as well as in the classroom – if you have been awarded a Blue, Half Blue, or Team Colours in a University sport, you can join the Ospreys today!

The Ospreys want to recognise the impressive accomplishments you have achieved and help you become inspired by other ambitious, hard-working and skilled individuals.

On the social side of things, we hold a variety of drinks events and networking gathering to connect and inspire. Our very popular termly Speakers Dinners feature a range of inspirational role models including Olympians, international coaches, and leading women in business and media.

The opportunities of the club run far beyond the hallowed-halls of Cambridge and extend after graduation with our Annual Dinner or our Alumnae Sports Day to welcomes back Old Cantabrigians every Autumn. Our club allows you to stay connected and informed, and never lose touch with your fellow Light Blues.

We’re Talented. We’re Ambitious. We’re Supportive. We’re a Light Blue Family.
