What are clubs?
Clubs are groups of students who share a passion for sport and come together to play friendlies, compete locally and nationally, or participate in socials.
All of our listed clubs are part of the Athletics Union where you can join in with a host of different social events, fundraising opportunities and campaigns such as LSESU This Girl Can.
There is something for everyone, from beginners with an interest in trying something new, to top-level athletes competing in BUCS and LUSL.
Our LSESU sports clubs are student led by fantastic club committee members who are elected by their peers. You'll find all training resources and guidance on reimbursements, funding, promotion and more on the Committee Hub.
If you have any questions, please contact the Sports Coordinator, on su.sport@lse.ac.uk.
