About Atalanta's

President's Welcome

I’m Libby, a fourth year studying Biomedical Sciences at Exeter College. I’m honoured to be President of Atalanta’s for the 2024/25 academic year and can’t wait to show you all the exciting things we have planned.

Atalanta’s was founded in 1992 with the mission of promoting and supporting women* in sport at Oxford. We have a dedicated committee of 10 sportswomen* and hundreds of members and alumnae.  Although great progress has been made in the field of women*s sport since Atalanta’s was founded, there is still a huge need for a society like this to help provide women* with the same opportunities and support as their male counterparts. We organise careers events, educational and informative talks from celebrated athletes, and provide an open, easy-going social space for women* in sport at Oxford. Everyone is welcome no matter your sport or level. The 2024/25 academic year will be a big one for Atalanta’s, with a new tiered membership system allowing women* to attend to talks and events for free as well as the original membership scheme for the famous £3 Saturday lunches and huge discounts at socials. We will also be introducing new events into the Atalanta’s social calendar so we can meet more frequently throughout the term as well as involving alumnae. Our committee and all of our members are so passionate about this society, and they are the heart and soul of Atalanta’s. I highly encourage you to join if you’re interested in any of the events we have on offer or meeting any of the wonderful women* who make up Atalanta’s. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to pop me a message. I hope you have a brilliant year and am looking forward to meeting you at our events!

Supporting and empowering Women* in Sport at Oxford

Inclusivity at Atalanta's

Atalanta's is a fully inclusive society and welcomes all members of Oxford women*s teams. In some of our marketing and communications, we use the terms "woman" and "women" as we believe these terms should automatically be understood as fully inclusive.

Our Mission

Our Mission

Atalanta's mission is to empower and inspire women in sports, providing them with the resources, support, and opportunities to thrive in their athletic endeavors. We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and excellence in sports.
