Club Sport

Do I need a gym membership to join a Sports Club?

Yes, to join most GUSA Sports Clubs, you require a UofG SPORT membership.

For most Clubs, you'll require one of the following full-access (not off-peak) SPORT memberships:

  • 12-Month Full-Access SPORT Membership
  • Semester Full-Access SPORT Membership

If you wish to join one or more of the following Clubs only...

  • Hares & Hounds
  • Mountaineering
  • Riding
  • Sailing
  • Skydiving
  • Surf
  • Wakeboarding

... you can purchase a full-access OR off-peak SPORT membership, if you want access to the gym.

If you want to join one of these clubs and do not want access to the gym, these seven clubs also offer a special club only membership at a reduced cost, which you can purchase direct from the club here.
