Competitive Sport
Clubs within Team UWS compete in British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) and Scottish Student Sport (SSS) leagues, where you can compete against other colleges and universities from around the country. So, whether you currently play a sport and want to continue your development, or you would like to take on a brand new challenge, Team UWS competitive sport is for you.
In addition to our team sport, the BUCS and SSS competition schedule offers plenty of opportunities for individual sport. Having seen success in the pool, track and field (to name but a few!) over recent years we are always working to support and develop individual sport at Team UWS.
Recreational Sport
Competitive sport is not the only way to get active whilst at UWS with a number of recreational sport offers available within Team UWS.
Working in partnership with UWS sport facilities there is an extensive range of FREE fitness classes for you to participate in. Our recreational sports schedule for the year is just as busy as our competitive one.
Pop-up sports, come and try weeks, special events – the list goes on. This year we introduced some recreational indoor cricket sessions which have been a major success. Starting September 2025, weekly sessions will take place every Tuesday 7-9pm at Renfrew Leisure Centre.
So, if recreational sport is more your thing, then we still have plenty to keep you moving. Sign up for your favourite sport or try something new with our clubs and recreational sessions!
Events
Each year Team UWS hosts its annual Sports Ball. Taking place at the end of the competitive BUCS season, this event is a great way of celebrating the year’s successes and achievements and always proves to be one of the highlights of the year.
In addition to the annual sports ball, Team UWS hosts a variety of different events throughout the academic year including campaigns and the recent introduction of our recreational five-aside tournaments which bring together people from across the campuses for some friendly competition.
