As always, these social sports sessions will be run by students for students – so come along if you fancy getting active in a commitment-free, laid-back environment with US! Active US is for all students, regardless of background or sporting experience. From Freshers to postgraduates, we would love to see you there. So come along to get your sweat on, have a laugh, and get to know your fellow students!

We want to get as many students active and involved in sport as possible – which is why each session is only £2. All the equipment will be provided by our friendly activators who will also be able to show you the ropes of each sport – you just need to bring yourself! 

The health benefits of doing sport are endless, especially social sport! From improving your cardiovascular health to increasing your self-confidence and memory – there is always an excuse to pop into one of our social sessions. 

So, feel free to drop in and get to know new people, catch up with old friends or just to play some sport between lectures! This semester we will be running social sessions for…

  • Badminton
  • Netball
  • Basketball
  • Squash
  • Football
  • Running
  • Volleyball

Any of these sessions can be booked in advance through the online booking portal. Our updated timetable for these sessions will be added to our website and socials within the coming weeks so keep an eye on our social media accounts!

We had a blast last term running loads of fun events like Rainbow Laces Day, UV Badminton, and UV Spin! This term we will also be running exciting events like Wheelchair Basketball, This Girl Can Week, Re-Freshers Taster Sessions, One World Week, Holi Run and more UV Events. To keep up to date with where and when these events are on, follow us at @activeussussex to find out the latest news.
