Sport Welcome to Student Sport from the Athletic Union President
“Every new student at St Andrews automatically becomes a member of the Athletic Union (AU). The AU exists to make sure that students get involved as much as possible and have the best possible sporting experiences whilst at this University.
University sport at St Andrews, known as Saints Sport, provides unbelievable opportunities to participate in an enormous variety of physical activities as a student here. The AU looks after more than 60 sports clubs and well over 100 sports teams, you can also take part in loads of other activities including Hall Sport and a huge variety of classes and leagues. Furthermore, we have a fantastic support network for high performance athletes.
Everyone is welcome at St Andrews, whether you want to play a sport you have already been involved in, or you want to try something new. You may want to get into coaching, outdoor sports, field sports, team sports, individual sports, adventure sports, martial arts, or water sports – there is something for everyone. The beauty of St Andrews is that whoever you are, there will be a sports club or activity for you. It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner and it doesn’t matter if sport is not a regular pastime for you. You don’t even have to play to feel involved, just come along and help support your teams.”
Andrew Dick
Athletic Union President 2010-2011
Student Stories
Supporting Excellence: “I have been fortunate enough to have been given, through the Saints Sport Scholarship programme, invaluable support both for my training and also financially. This has enabled me to maintain, and build on, my position within the Senior England Women’s Lacrosse Squad.”
GEORGIA Women’s Lacrosse Club (Studying International Relations & Modern History)
Student Coaching Opportunities: “The support I’ve received since coming to St Andrews has really enabled my coaching to improve and progress. To be able to work alongside a team of strength and conditioning experts, their interns, a physio and a sports physiologist is all great experience. I’m lucky enough to have been invited to join the Scottish Universities’ Rugby coaching team this year and without a doubt I wouldn’t have been offered chances like this if it wasn’t for the lessons I’ve learnt from those around me.”
