Athletic Union

Who are we?

38 Clubs. 80+ teams.

The Leeds Beckett Athletic Union has 38 sports clubs, and over 80 teams.

We have competitive teams who compete in BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) leagues, events and competitions, as well as several non-BUCS clubs who take part in various recreational and outdoor activities, including Tchoukball, Sub Aqua and Snowsports.

The Athletic Union is managed by the university's sports office team and is governed by the Athletic Union Executive Committee and our sports clubs' committee members. Regardless of your sports interest, the Athletic Union is here to help you have the best student sport experience during your time at Leeds Beckett.

I have loved my first year at Beckett and now going into my second year. I've been on the tennis team and loved every part of it, and now being able to help other sports as well achieve their goals at LBU. I'm looking forward to working with the AU team and help them also reach the goals they have across all LBU sports.

Out of all my experiences at Leeds Beckett, being part of a team and playing BUCS has been the highlight. I'd like to make sure that everyone can have the same amazing experience that I had. This year I'm planning to run some great events for all teams to get involved, bringing everyone together as one fantastic Beckett Union just as it should be!
