Sports at LJMU
SPORT FOR ALL
We are really proud of our University teams who consistently compete and win many of the major titles in inter-university leagues and competitions.
At John Moores Students’ Union (JMSU) there are plenty of clubs and societies you can join - competitively or socially. We have American football, athletics, boxing, badminton, basketball, cricket, men’s and women’s Gaelic football, football, hockey, volleyball and rugby teams as well as lacrosse, netball, swimming, tennis and more.
Our students can join our British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) teams and represent LJMU playing competitive sport against other universities. BUCS is the governing body for university sport in the United Kingdom and it gives you the chance to take your game to the next level.
LIVERPOOL LOVES SPORT
SUPPORTING ELITE ATHLETES
Our passion for football runs deep; with three professional football teams in Merseyside – Liverpool FC, Everton FC and Tranmere Rovers – we love the game. However, worldclass sport in the region goes far beyond football. Merseyside is the golfing capital of England – boasting more than 40 courses, seven of which are leading championship venues, while the City of Liverpool Gymnastics Club produces elite, international level athletes. It is also the home of the Grand National, the Liverpool International Horse Show, the UK Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon series and the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament. Liverpool hosted the British Gymnastics Championship Series and the Vitality Netball World Cup in 2019; and in 2021 hosts the Artistic Gymnastics British championships and the Rugby League World Cup Wheelchair Final.
Our Sports Scholarship scheme is a leading initiative in the UK, helping talented students fulfil both their sporting and academic potential. Sports Scholars receive specialist guidance from experts in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, extra study support and cash bursaries.
