Athletic Union If you would like any further information about the AU contact us …

Welcome to London South Bank University Athletic Union and congratulations on getting here. Hopefully the next three years will provide you with some of the best days of your life.

The Athletic Union forms an essential part of the Students’ Union and your student experience, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy social, sporting and cultural activities alongside your studies

The Athletic Union here at LSBU is responsible for the running of all student sports clubs. The clubs are run by students for the students, training once a week and playing matches most weeks. Several of our clubs have qualified coaches to help you with your performance. 
 
Many of the clubs run teams that compete in national University leagues (BUSA – British University Sports Association and SESSA – Southern England Students Sports Association) throughout the year and are always on the look out for new players!!

We are committed to providing our students with the opportunity to play sports at all levels. If you have come to the university as an experienced sports man or woman you will be interested to know that we have one of the most developed sports scholarship schemes offered at any University across the country. For those of you that just fancy a new challenge then we still have a club to suit you. From Table Tennis to Taekwondo and Badminton to Basketball, we attempt to provide sport for all.

If we don’t currently run a club you are interested in there is always the opportunity to start one!
 
The AU is the largest club on campus, with a large number of members so the opportunity to enjoy sport at your University, get fit and socialise and make friends will definitely be available to all members.
 
So why not come and check out what we have for offer!!!

For more information on any of the clubs mentioned here, then please come and see us in the AU office, located in the London Road building.
