SPORTS AT U N I Sport plays an integral role in shaping our wellbeing, so unsurprisingly there are a plethora of sporting opportunities available to students on campus. Social sports are a great way of getting yourself involved whilst making new friends in a casual environment. Many societies offer a diverse range of casual events ranging from social basketball, soccer, touch football to underwater rugby and quidditch. The Business Society offers annual events such as social basketball and tournaments (oztag, basketball and netball) which serve as a way to get active and have fun. Furthermore, collaborative inter-society events such as Interfaculty and Interbusiness Tournament are a great way to compete in various sports and meet new people studying similar or different degrees at uni. For those with a competitive side to them, options include sporting events run by Arc Sports (e.g. regular season sports, Day of Play) and trials for university representative teams at the state and national level. Students may also trial for a spot in the annual University Games, where representative teams from different universities travel interstate and go head to head over a week long period. Finally, sports related excursions such as BSOC’s annual Ski Trip are fun getaway options which allow you to be active and also spend quality time with friends.
