Sports clubs

Sports Clubs form an integral part of University life at St Andrews, opening up a wealth of experiences, which afford students some of their fondest memories and the opportunity to foster some of their closest friendships.

Sports Fayre 2025: Your Gateway to Sport, Fitness & Fun

As part of Orientation Week, we’re excited to invite you to our annual Sports Fayre, taking place on Tuesday 9 September from 10am to 4pm (including a dedicated quiet hour).

This vibrant event is open to all students and is the perfect opportunity to explore everything Saints Sport has to offer—from over 50 sports clubs and fitness services to volunteering opportunities and membership options.

Each club will have its own stall, with friendly committee members ready to answer your questions and sign you up for free ‘Give It A Go’ sessions. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just curious to try something new, the Sports Fayre is your gateway to getting involved, staying active, and meeting new people.
