TRY OUT A NEW SPORT & stay active
Ever wanted to try your hand at a new activity, get fit, or make new friends?Thanks to our funding grant from Sport England, AUBSU's Give it a Go program can help you do just that. All sessions are fun, friendly, and inclusive for all, and will be led by a trained instructor or activator.
Don't forget to check out our student-led
club sports too!
So, how do I access all of this sporty goodness?
We'll be updating our Give it a Go programme for 2022/23 over the next few weeks - Happy days! The programme restarts the week commencing 11th April.
A booking link will be released on our tickets page a week before each session to ensure we don't exceed our capacity. Booking is essential for these sessions.

Becoming a Give It A Go Activator!
We're looking for enthusiastic AUB students to help with our sports programme: Give It A Go Activators will help with weekly sessions (such as Yoga and Boxing), monitoring attendance and encouraging people to get involved, while taking part themselves. We ask that activators attend one activity a week but we can be flexible with cover and sessions. Activators will get a range of perks too, including free access to Give It A Go sessions and access to training and support!
If you are interested, please send a short paragraph to why you are interested and a up-to-date CV to studentunion@aub.ac.uk
Additional Activities
As well as our regular weekly activities, we run taster sessions, support independent exercise and run an accessible sports programme.
Running & independent Activity
As well as weekly sessions for Give It A Go, we'll also be supporting those of you that like to exercise independently. We have fitness trackers that you can borrow from the SU to help track your workouts outside of Give It A Go sessions.
The tracker will give you reports on your route, heart rate, calories burnt, distance, speed and pace. Pretty nifty, right?
These can be used for running, cycling and anything else that you might want to try out.
We'll be lending out trackers once we reopen the SU Office - watch this space!
STAND-UP PADDLE BOARDING
Dorset is famed for it's stunning coastline and surfing hotspots, which is why we've partnered up with Bournemouth Surf Academy to bring stand-up paddle boarding (SUPing) and Surf tasters to AUB. We'll be holding discounted taster sessions so you can try SUPing or surfing with all the equipment provided and under the watchful eye of a trained instructor.
Keep an eye on this for our new collab company!
Membership for the Surf Club costs just £35 *this may be subject to change in 2022/2023* for the year, and gives you access to all of their surf trips/excursions, as well as the opportunity to compete on behalf of AUB in surf competitions. It's a great way to meet new people, get active, and make the most of our beautiful coast. (This year they'll be running Surf training sessions so if you're a complete beginner they'll be able to get you up and surfng in no time!)
