Sports clubs
Whether you want to meet new people, try something new or play competitive sport, joining a sports club is a brilliant way to immerse yourself in university life.
We have over 40 student-run clubs here at Manchester Met, all with something unique to offer.
Represent Manchester Met in our blue and orange colours as you compete alongside 100,000 students and 4,000 teams in BUCS competitions, leagues and events.
Or if you’re looking for something more social, many of our clubs welcome new members of all abilities.

Start a new sports club
If we don’t have the club you’re looking for, we will help you to set one up.
A sports club is a sporting group - recognised as a sport by any of the governing bodies or British Universities & Colleges Sport. Please fill out the document below to become an affiliated club. The process is then as follows.
- We’ll respond to your application within 10 working days.
- We will ask the club to visit the MMU Sport office for a meeting with the relevant Sport and Club Development Officers within 14 days of an e-mail response.
- We will look to run your session with our Sports Development department over a 6-10 week period.
- The activity will be under review for that 6-10 week period to identify how we can engage more students.
- After the review period, we will work with the student leaders to decide how best to progress the club (BUCS club, Non-BUCS club, participation session, active campus - with paid activator - or setting up a campus league).
- If the decision is to become a BUCS or Non-BUCS club, the club needs to be self-sufficient for two terms before becoming affiliated and gaining access to additional funding.
- If they decide to stay within participation or an active campus session, the Sports Development team will work closely with the student leaders to grow their sport and enhance playing opportunities both internally and externally.
Being part of a club is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. It is a way to find people who share similar passions and interests as yourself in an environment that is welcoming and different to other aspects of university life. Joining dance made me more confident and increased my desire to get involved with all aspects of university and has made me want to engage more with my studies. Joining dance was a great way for me to feel settled when I came to university as it is something I've enjoyed doing since a young age, but it is also a great opportunity to try something new as all abilities are welcome. The dance club really is a place where you can make friends for life.
