What is Intramural Sport?
Intramural Sport is a fun, social, multi-sport programme for students who just want to turn up and play! Intramural Sport allows you to compete for your University course team, society, halls of residence or just as a group of friends. 'Intramural' means 'inside the university', with league matches taking place every week in Bristol.
The 2024/25 Intramural Sport programme will offer the following range of sports:
Click on the above links for further info on each sport, such as when and where matches will take place.
All of the above sports are mixed-gender and are played to mixed abilities, so absolutely everyone is welcome to play, from near-beginners to more advanced players!

Sign Up / Join a Team
Players can sign up to play for a registered team by following the link below. If you do not have a team, please scroll down this page to view how you can join a team.
Cost
All sports cost either £36 or £40 as a one-off payment (discounted by 50% when joining in January.) This means that most sports work out at around just £2 per match!
Intramural Sport offers great value for money, significantly beating local alternatives on price. However, as payment for the season needs to be made in advance, we recognise joining fees can be prohibitively expensive for some students. If you feel that your financial circumstances prohibit you from participating in Intramural Sport, please consider applying for support via the Bristol SU Activity Hardship Fund.
Halls of Residence Teams
If you are staying in University Accommodation this year, then you can automatically sign up to play for your Halls of Residence Team! Simply follow the Sign-up to play link, select your chosen sport[s] and select your Halls of Residence in the list of teams. If your Halls of Residence does not get enough players for a team, you will be merged with other teams from the same residential village; this is a great way of meeting new people in neighbouring halls!
Don't Have a Team?
Many of our teams have space for extra players, so if you don't already have a team to join, take a look at the table below. Teams who are currently looking for new players have written a little about themselves. Just get in touch with the captain of the team[s] you would like to join; once the captain has confirmed they are happy for you to join, follow the Sign-up to play link and enter their team's name.
OPEN TEAM: Alternatively, if you don’t mind what team you play for, and are happy to be randomly allocated to an existing team still looking for players, or merged with other players to create a new team, then click the Sign-up to play link and select to join the OPEN TEAM in your chosen sport[s].

Referee Hub
Are you interested in becoming a qualified Football referee? Officiating training is a great opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills; it also looks great on your CV! Bristol SU will cover the financial costs of the training, and there is ample opportunity to obtain the relevant refereeing experience via Intramural and/or BUCS football fixtures. Once qualified, there are plenty of opportunities to receive paid refereeing work, both internally at the University, and out and about in the local community.
To formally express an interest in becoming a qualified football referee and/or a netball umpire, then please complete the referee training form.
If you are already a qualified football referee and/or a netball umpire, and would be interested in paid work officiating either Intramural fixtures or official University Fixtures (BUCS), then please contact Alex.
