sports at lse
More than 2,300 students currently represent LSE, both nationally and in London, across more than 40 sports and activity clubs.
What are clubs?
Clubs are groups of students who share a passion for sport and come together to play friendlies, compete locally & nationally, and participate in socials.
All of our listed clubs are part of the Athletics Union, where you can join in with a host of different social events, fundraising opportunities and campaigns such as LSESU This Girl Can.
Joining a club
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 Sports Coordinator, on su.sport@lse.ac.uk.
Nothing of interest?
If you have a great idea for a new activity, society, or club, we’d love to hear from you! We have specialist staff who will help you get started.
