How do I join a Sports Club?

From the 21st – 25th September we will have a virtual welcome fair, this is a chance for you to explore the clubs and societies that we have on offer – you can chat with them online, see what they have to offer and get your memberships.

If I miss the virtual welcome fair, can I still join a club or society?

You can join a sports club or society all year round. All you need to do is head to the Opportunities page on the SU website and purchase your memberships for the year. All the important information about the clubs and societies can be found on their page so read up before you sign up! We recommend you attend Freshers’ Fair though, as you could pick up important information that might not be listed on their website, such as the first social that the group might host or the first give-it-a-go session.

Do I have to have played a sport before to join a club?

Absolutely not! A lot of our students joins clubs for the first time having had very little to no experience before. All clubs cater for everyone, from first time beginners to performance athletes, we welcome everyone to try sport at UEA.

How are sports running due to Covid-19?

All of our sports clubs and sports programmes running will be following the sports National Governing Body and Government guidelines to ensure that all participants are kept safe, while enjoying their activities.
