Severn Stars

Severn Stars are an English netball team based at the University of Worcester. The team is named after the River Severn, which runs through Worcester and Gloucester, the original home cities of the two universities. Severn Stars were formed in 2016 and since 2017 their senior team has played in the Netball Superleague.

New franchise
In June 2016 it was announced that Severn Stars, together with Wasps Netball and Scottish Sirens, would be one of three new franchises that would join the Netball Superleague for the 2017 season. Severn Stars were formed as a partnership between the University of Worcester and the University of Gloucestershire. They subsequently appointed Anita Navin and Pamela Cookey as directors of netball and Mo'onia Gerrard as their first head coach. On 18 February 2017, with a team that included Josie Janz-Dawson and Eleanor Cardwell, Severn Stars made their Netball Superleague debut in an away game against Surrey Storm, losing 58–40.
