We aim to create the sporting experience of a lifetime for all of our students. Previous graduates will tell you how much sport meant to them at the University of Gloucestershire, and we are building on this great history to help everyone achieve their potential. Whether you are starting out in a sport for the first time, or looking to wear the University’s badge in competitive action, we are creating a high quality sporting environment that will help you to develop.
The University of Gloucestershire Sports Team works with the Students Union to support the range of competitive teams and clubs that represent the University through the British University and College Sport (BUCS) programme. We have a number of Focus Sports where we are investing particular energies and expertise, these reflect the history of the institution but also some of the great expertise we are able to call on from the local community.
We don’t just focus on competitive sport. Our new UNIversal Sport initiative aims to ensure that everyone can enjoy and benefit from sport and physical activity. We offer the chance to experience a huge range of activity, from archery to zumba, and hope that we can find something that will keep you fit, healthy and happy during your stay with us at Gloucestershire.
You can also play your part in our thriving community programme, which reflects the core values of the University and makes a genuine impact on neighbourhoods and communities on our patch. As a coach, leader, referee, administrator or volunteer, you can make a real difference to the future of sport and to the lives of local people. Contributing to or unique outreach work can play a big part in your career development too.
Our commitment to enterprise and creativity means that we are always learning, and always developing new ways to understand sport and its potential. Browse the links to your left to find a way to join us.
