Student Sport Clubs

There is a place for you in Team South Bank

Being a Sports Club member keeps you mentally and physically fit and healthy but the best bit of it all is that you become part of an environment to meet and keep new friendships, have tremendous fun, create lifelong memories of your student life, and of course, it doesn’t do any harm for your career prospects and CV.


We have 11 sports clubs both competitive and non-competitive. We are believers in the idea everyone starts their sporting life somewhere, so why not start yours at LSBU?

The majority of our clubs compete in the weekly league and cup fixtures, as well as individual championships run by British University and College Sports (BUCS).
