LexisNexis Risk Solutions Dragons strengthen long-standing partnership with Cardiff University
15 April 2026
The LexisNexis Risk Solutions Dragons are proud to celebrate their long‑standing partnership with Cardiff University, which continues to play a vital role in supporting the franchise’s high‑performance environment and wider athlete development.
Cardiff University has been a committed partner of the Dragons since 2022, providing access to world‑class training facilities alongside dedicated strength and conditioning expertise that underpins athlete performance across the senior squad, NXT Gen and pathway programmes.
With the 2026 NSL season already underway and a strong and energised start from the Dragons, both organisations are working closely to continue to build on the players’ strength and conditioning at regular training sessions at the Cardiff University Sports Training Village in Talybont. The Dragons’ performance is inspiring Cardiff University’s netball squads in the BUCS leagues with the University 1st team, that includes a number of Dragons pathway players being promoted to BUCS Premier South league for next season.
Our partnership with the LexisNexis Risk Solutions Dragons reflects our commitment to supporting high‑performance sport and providing opportunities for athletes to reach their full potential.
Stuart Vanstone, Head of Sport at Cardiff University, said:
“We are proud to offer access to our facilities and expert staff, and we value the positive impact this collaboration has on our students, performance programmes and wider sporting community.”
Cardiff University has been an important and valued partner for many years and continues to play a key role in enabling our athletes to thrive.
Linzi Plant, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Dragons Franchise Director, said:
“The support we receive [from Cardiff University] in terms of facilities and strength and conditioning provision is outstanding and forms a crucial part of our performance environment. We are hugely grateful for their ongoing commitment, and we look forward to continuing to build on this strong and collaborative relationship.”
The Dragons’ partnership with Cardiff University forms an essential pillar of the franchise’s performance pathway, ensuring consistency of support for athletes progressing from under 17 and under 19 levels through to NXT Gen and senior competition.
