Sports Clubs and Societies

Clubs and Societies are run by students for students, and offer the opportunity for life-long friendships, sporting success and personal growth.

Clubs and Societies can play an important role in expanding your social life during your time at the University and also help to develop transferrable skills to enhance your CV, for example, communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

Joining a Sports Club or Society will expand your friendship networks, help you grow in confidence, perhaps introduce you to something new or allow you to carry on your passions, and guarantee that you will have a great time here in Bolton.

5 Reasons to join a Sports Club or Society

1. Expand Your Social Circle 

University gives you a huge opportunity to meet a whole range of new people.  Initially, the students you live with, then the students on your course and by joining a Sports Club or Society you can gain a whole entirely separate group of 

friends.

2. Try Something New. 

Being part of a student led Sports Club or Society can be an enriching and rewarding experience. 

3. Taking A Break

It’s healthy to take a break from your studies.  Being away from your studies and meeting up with your Society or taking part in sport gives you a release and time to recharge your batteries.  You can get back to your studies refreshed and ready to go.

4. Develop New Skills

Sports Clubs and Societies will help you to develop useful and transferable skills that employers are looking for.  Leadership, negotiation, teamwork, organisation, diplomacy and persuasion are all very important skills you can learn through being a member of a Sports Club or Society. 

5. Stand out from the Crowd

Being a member of a Sports club or Society looks great on your CV and can give you some great examples and experiences to talk about during an interview.
