Bristol SU Sports Network

  • 1 09

Description

 

The Sports Network is a student-led initiative that seeks to develop a vibrant and active sports community at the University of Bristol.

The network is run by our Network Chair Fiona Williams. Being part of the Sports Network gives students the opportunity to make a difference to sport at Bristol on a bigger scale than a singular club.

 

This year the network is changing with new committee positions and a fresh outlook. With an aim to engage more members of the university community in sport, the network is at the heart of ensuring and promoting change directly from the students for the students.

 

Nominations are now open for committee positions! You don't have to be involved in sport at a high level to apply, or even part of a sports club. All we ask is for people who want to make a difference to sport at any level at the university. So nominate yourself for a position today!
