Getting to Know Your

Athletic Union

The UCFB Athletic Union enables you to take part in a number of sports during your time here, whether competitive or recreational. This allows you extra opportunities to feel part of the close UCFB student community.

We have teams across both campuses for male and female students, including football, rugby, netball, darts, and basketball, with more sports being added all the time.

Your Sports University

A number of our teams compete in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) leagues and tournaments – the leading organiser of competitive activity among universities. Our Sports Teams across both campuses have enjoyed particular success in recent years.

We also offer a full range of recreational activities to keep students active throughout the week and organise an intramural Campus Football league. If a sport you play doesn’t have a team at UCFB, there may be the opportunity to establish one. Our Sport and Active Lifestyle Officers are always happy to help and discuss new ideas to broaden the activities on offer to students.

For students who prefer to observe rather than participate, there are also opportunities to join the match day media teams of UCFB’s respective teams. The chance to film matches, interview players and write match reports not only aids students promoting each other’s successes, but it’s also an opportunity for budding sports media professionals to enhance their skill-set.
