Club Sports

Get in on the action

Club sports are a place for fun physical activity, to improve your athletic and leadership skills and find fast friends.

What's even better is that all of our club sports are managed by students. Whatever commitment level you're looking for or if you want to get involved in organizing activities, you'll be able to work alongside like-minded peers and create great memories.

Students who participate in club sports gain:

  • Leadership and mentorship skills.
  • Knowledge of organizational networks and risk management.
  • Communication and nonverbal cues as well as emotional development skills.
  • Personal involvement and pride for Western 九一麻豆制片厂 University.
