Sports CLUBS at LSESU
More than 2,300 students currently represent LSE, both nationally and in London, across more than 45 sports and activity clubs.
Whether you want to compete at the highest level, stay active alongside your studies, or simply try something new, there’s a club for you.
All of our sports clubs are student-led, supported by LSESU, and built around community. They offer regular training, fixtures, and competitions, as well as social events bringing students together on and off the pitch, court, or studio.
What are clubs?
Sports clubs are student-led groups supported by LSESU, offering opportunities to train, compete, and get involved socially. With a wide range of activities – from team sports to fitness and performance – clubs are a great way to stay active and be part of the LSESU community.
Joining a club
Memberships are now live! Visit the relevant sports club via the icons above. There is something for everyone, from beginners with an interest in trying something new, to top-level athletes competing in BUCS and LUSL.
Our LSESU sports clubs are student led by fantastic club committee members who are elected by their peers. You'll find all training resources and guidance on reimbursements, funding, promotion and more on the Committee Hub.
If you have any questions, please contact the club directly or for general enquiries, the Sports Coordinator, on su.sport@lse.ac.uk.
Athletics Union
The Athletics Union (AU) is a student-led body, headed by the AU President, that oversees all of our sports clubs. The AU brings the sporting community together through regular socials, including the popular Weekly Sports Night, and flagship events such as the AU Ball.
An AU membership is required to access flagship events and helps fund the delivery of the AU’s large-scale socials and celebrations.
Alongside events, the AU also leads on student campaigns and charity fundraising throughout the year, making sport a platform for positive change across campus.
For information on the latest events, tickets and campaigns, please visit the AU Instagram page- @lseathleticsunion
