Whether you are dedicated to your chosen sport, or want to try something new, there are lots of opportunities for students at Oxford Brookes University to get involved.
TEAMBrookes
Each year we celebrate our student-athletes with a Team Photo Day facilitated by TakeThatPhoto, providing stunning photographs of you and your teammates to treasure. Team Photo Day will be on Monday 21st November 2022 this season, held in the Sports Hall of Headington Campus' Centre for Sport.
As well as offering 'Engage' entry-level sessions for newcomers, our sports clubs 'Compete' and represent Oxford Brookes University at local and national level, whilst also catering to a small number of elite 'Perform' level athletes destined for Olympic or other international honours. This model ensures we can cater to any and all student-athletes at the university, with an offer suited to different abilities and aspirations, levels of dedication and commitment, as well as those just looking to make new friends.
In the 2021-22 academic year, we had our highest ever recorded number of student-athlete members signed up across our 37 sports clubs, with more than 2,200 members (1,400 in 2019-20). For those who look to 'Compete' for TEAMBrookes in the national BUCS competitions, Oxford Brookes University finished 37th out of 140+ institutions in the overall national table, with our 3rd highest ever points total. Six teams went on to win their BUCS Leagues including the Men's Football 1st & 2nd teams, and Women's Lacrosse 2nd team, and 5 teams achieved Cup glory including the Golf team, Men's Lacrosse and Men's Rugby Union 1st team!
If you go on to join a sports club, regardless of which tier, you’ll need to buy a TEAMBrookes Membership. The link is made available from your Team Captain or Club President, once selected for a team. This contributes towards some of the costs associated with the running of the TEAMBrookes student-sport programme and its sports clubs, e.g. insurance, competition entry, facility hire, transport.
