Active@Brunel: Drop-In Sport & Fitness for All Students
Active@Brunel is the Union of Brunel Students' recreational sport programme offering flexible, drop-in sport and fitness sessions on campus. It’s designed for Brunel students who want to stay active and healthy without the pressure of regular training or joining competitive teams.
With a weekly timetable of drop-in sport and fitness sessions held right on campus, it’s all about fun, flexibility, and feeling good — no experience, commitment, or pressure needed.
Introducing the Brunel Cup
Launching this year, the Brunel Cup offers friendly, social sports leagues on campus. It’s perfect for students looking for regular fixtures and a bit of competition, without the stress of travel or intense training schedules.
- Football
- Futsal
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Badminton
- One-off tournaments throughout the year
You can enter a team with friends, housemates, or course mates — or sign up solo and we’ll place you in a team. The Brunel Cup is included with your Union Sport Participation Membership, making it easy and affordable to get involved.
Do I Need to Be Sporty?
Absolutely not. Active@Brunel is designed for all students, regardless of experience or ability. Whether you want to unwind after classes, try something new, or simply move more, Active@Brunel sessions offer a welcoming, pressure-free environment to enjoy sport and fitness at your own pace.
No Equipment? No Problem
We provide all necessary equipment for every session. Just wear comfortable clothes and come ready to have fun, there’s nothing else you need to bring.
