Loughborough Sports Clubs

If you are studying an academic course, are there plenty of opportunities to take part in sports clubs, or are all the spaces taken up with the elite athletes?

Hi @khope676 ,

Sport is amazing at Loughborough and there are so many opportunities to get involved in different sports at different levels.

We have AU (Athletic Union) where you play BUCS against other universities. This is the most competitive level and there is a mix of elite/performance athletes and others too. (I play netball for AU and am definitely not elite!)

IMS (Intra-Mural) at Loughborough is so much fun. This is where you can represent your hall and compete against other halls. It is a decent competitive level but also very sociable and allows you to try new sports.

My Lifestyle is programme is a free and inclusive recreational sport and physical activity offer, that is open to and welcomes everybody of any ability.

There is definitely many opportunities to get involved in sport at Loughborough no matter what course you do or what level you play at.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please do ask 🙂
