Charlotte McDonnell is a Media Arts student and the secretary for our active Basketball team at Royal Holloway.
She started playing basketball in her final year at school and fell in love with the sport but it wasn’t until she came to Royal Holloway that she started to play basketball seriously.
When Charlotte was asked about what basketball is like here, she said:
“Joining the basketball team has completely enhanced my university experience! Not only do I spend a lot of my time on the basketball court at training sessions and games but also the members of basketball club are my best friends and family at university.
“Basketball is a sport that relies heavily on teamwork and therefore the bond that grows between our players is extremely strong. It is also the best way to blow off some steam and get away from the stresses of uni work and exams for a few hours in the day.”
