You name it, we probably do it. Our Reading Knights brand covers all our 51 sports teams at the University of Reading. All sports clubs are student-led and each club has an elected committee of students to look after the day to day running of the club. All abilities are welcome – we offer clubs that are purely recreational or that compete at local, regional or national level.
If you can’t find the information you need below, come into the Student Activities Centre in the Students’ Union building. We are open Monday to Friday, 09:00 – 17:00. Like our dedicated RUSU Sports Facebook page for up-to-date news.
