Hey there Freshers! I am Gabby and I am the Vice President (Activities) for the academic year ahead. I was part of Women’s Rugby during my time at university and here are my reasons for why joining sports clubs or societies can be an absolute game changer for your university experience.
- Stay active: University life can be quite hectic, but being part of a sports club or soc keeps you physically active and helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Plus, it’s a great way to destress and boost your energy levels.
- Make new friends: Sports clubs and societies bring together like-minded people who share similar interests. By joining one of our sports clubs or societies you’ll have the opportunity to meet new friends, build connections, and expand your social circle. This might be where you make lifelong friendships!
- Skill development: Whether you’re a pro or a newbie, sports clubs and societies provide the perfect platform to develop and improve your skills. From team sports to individual activities, you’ll have the chance to learn and grow in a supportive environment.
- Personal growth: Being part of a sports or society opens doors to exciting experiences like tournament, competitions, social events and even trips. These experiences create memories that will last a lifetime and make your university years truly unforgettable.
- Mental health: Moving away from home can be hard, but being part of a club or society might help a little with that sense of belonging at the university. It can help combat the feelings of loneliness. It can also be a great distraction when you need a break from academic pressures. It gives you something to look forward to!
So, DON’T miss out on the benefits of joining a sports club or society as a fresher! It’s a fantastic way to stay active, make friends, develop skills, and create amazing memories. Embrace the opportunity and start your time at the university with a blast!
