Meet Beckett Bear, our university's very own mascot! You'll see Beckett Bear at events such as Varsity and other occasions throughout the year.
Here at Leeds Beckett, we believe that the hard work belongs in training, so we've tried to make it as simple as possible to sign up to our sports teams.
Start off by finding a team you're passionate about. Most clubs train outside of the university day and have multiple teams, but it's still worth considering the training hours and if the team requires you to have any experience.
Once you've found a team you want to join, simply get in touch with them, and they will walk you through the process of trials (if applicable), joining the Athletics Union and getting started as a Leeds Beckett athlete.
The Athletics Union are here to ensure that your student experience as an athlete is as great as it can be. We help to look after the30+ clubs and 80+ teams at the university. Our membership currently allows youto join an unlimited amount of sports clubs.
