Description
️The Winchester Lions are the University’s official women's POM Dance team.
The Winchester Lions support our sports teams at their games and matches, cheering and keeping spirits high! We also give performances during halftime to keep up morale!
Our team aims to promote and advocate the values of inclusivity, empowerment, and well-being.
We train twice a week where we polish our routines, improve our POM techniques and work on our flexibility.
Our team is very social, with many events planned throughout the year. We attend BOP weekly as a team, as well as various other socials such as movie nights, pub visits and attending the SU's Big Fat Quiz. We make sure there is something which suits everyone! Our team is perfect for building connections and for enjoying your time at University! We like to have at least two social events every week so that we can bond as a team and build life-long friendships.
We welcome all levels of danceability and backgrounds (even if that is none at all!). So if you are enthusiastic, love to dance, and want to be a part of not just a team, but a family – then come and try out for the Lions!

MEMBERSHIP T&Cs
Where an activity group (sports team/society/representational network) has a competitive element or other external factors that affect the number of participants, your membership may be subject to criteria other than joining the group via this website. If this results in your membership not being able to be accepted, you will be informed (with any relevant details) and your membership will be refunded.
Membership will not normally be refunded if you cease being a student, if you voluntarily end your membership, or if you are subject to disciplinary action that removes your membership status.
CODE OF CONDUCT
By joining this activity group you are confirming your compliance with Student Union policies and bye-laws, particularly as it pertains to conduct, personal safety and acceptable behaviour.
Initiations: At no point should you feel pressured to drink and get involved in what others are doing, for example to join in with drinking games or ‘challenges’, if you don’t want to. If you are part of an activity group it is completely your choice whether or not you attend a social event. Activity groups are prohibited from carrying out initiation ceremonies, or any initiation-type behaviour, either on or off campus. If you ever feel pressured to take part in social activities as part of an activity group, we would strongly encourage you to report it to us here: https://www.winchesterstudents.co.uk/report It is our upmost priority that you feel safe engaging in Union activity, and there is support available for you if you have experienced or witnessed anything that made you feel uncomfortable or concerned you.
