VARSITY VARSITY 2013 We beat them at home in 2010, we travelled away and beat them in their own back garden in 2011 and 3 certainly was the magic number last year at home in Swansea! BUT WE WANT 4!! The biggest day in the Swansea Met sporting calendar, VARSITY 2013.

So what is Varsity? Each year Swansea Met and Trinity St David (Carmarthen) lock horns in a series of sporting events to celebrate the sporting talent on both ends. Varsity is a fantastic time of year as both Swansea Met and TSD students spend an action-packed day supporting and celebrating their respective sports teams. The event adds more than a little spice to our sporting calendar. The intense but friendly rivalry between the universities ensures that each match is contested with passion and has lots of support from the side lines. This year there will be a record 7 sports matches between Swansea Met and TSD taking place, the side with the most wins throughout the day will be crowned Varsity 2013 champions and presented the Varsity Trophy. Win or Lose, Varsity really brings out what it means to be a part of a university community. This year brings if possible an even bigger rivalry between Swansea Met and Trinity St David due to the recent merger. All though on paper we may now be one University, Varsity 2013 is sure to be a colossal battle to secure our own identities and above all prove whether Swansea Met or TSD has the sporting bragging rights for the next year! The day attracts a large amount of supporters from the both Swansea Met and Trinity, with the 2013 fixture expected to be bigger and better than ever before!!

Varsity 2013 is taking place on Wednesday 20th March.

Basketball Wales Basketball Wales is the National Governing Body (NGB) of the game of basketball in Wales and has a voluntary Board of Directors that drives the game forward. Becoming a coach obviously takes patience, perseverance and a good level of commitment but to coach in Wales today it requires you to gain a certain minimum level of qualification. This is done not to stifle your own personal take on the game but to ensure that even the newest coaches have a standardised amount of knowledge on the game for the benefit of yourself and your players. Getting started couldn't be easier, for the Leaders Award (aimed at U16's) and Level 1 UKCC no prior experience is necessary.

Blogs and Stories

Hannah Phillips—LC2, Swansea

For my placement I went to the LC. I was already working there so this was paid work doing 40 hours a week rather than just my normal weekend hours. I carried on working on the same department as usual, but I was given certain tasks that was my responsibility to make sure that they were completed. By staying in Swansea I saved money and it give me the opportunity to show my employees what I am capable of doing as a full time employer but it also help me understand what my strengths and weaknesses are and how to develop my skills even further in the industry. While working in the LC for placement I really enjoyed it and it was something that has benefited me for my future.

Nick Edwards—Challenger Sports This summer I went to the USA to work for challenger sports as a soccer coach for 3 months. These months were by far the best months of my life, the opportunities It gave me were amazing, to name just a few things of the things I did included; shooting guns, jet skiing, jumping down waterfalls, baseball games, theme parks and travelling all along the east coast! Challenger do's: Make the most of your free time, Never turn down an opportunity to do something new, Always remember to make your camp fun. Challenger don'ts: Be late for meet points or camp, Don't ever show that your tired or bored (kids won't respond to you!), Be untidy in someone else's home (mess leads to stress!) If challenger sports is for you i can guarantee it'll be by far the best summer you'll ever have!

Ed Humberstone—Punta dive, Ibiza For my placement I spent 4 months out in Ibiza becoming a PADI Dive master. It was probably the best summer I’ve ever had, I got to meet loads of new people as well as earning a professional certification. The weather was a nice change to Swansea and the nightlight was incomparable, these factors as well as the clear waters and awesome diving made it a great experience! Throughout the placement I logged over 90 dives and worked all across the island getting to see more than I could have imagined. One of the highlights has got to be turning 21 out there; we had a great day diving followed by an unforgettable night out. The company Punta dive were great to work for and I am strongly considering spending another season out there this summer. I would recommend this placement to students across the whole of the LETS courses as it will be highly beneficial as there are aspects of all courses.
