The UK’s weightlifting scene is stronger than ever – come and see for yourself!
Weightlifting is a sport that has gained popularity at the UK university level in recent years. The increasing availability of weightlifting equipment and gyms on university campuses have made the sport more accessible than ever.
The sport requires focus and discipline and is not only beneficial for physical fitness and strength, but also for mental health and overall well-being. Lifting weights has been known to help reduce stress and anxiety whilst the sense of accomplishment from achieving a personal best often boosts self-esteem.
UK university weightlifting clubs provide a supportive environment for students of all ability levels, where they can learn proper technique and form, as well as compete against other universities.
One of the most ancient forms of self defence known around the world is widely available at the UK university level.
Despite only recently being recognised as BUCS sports in 2021, both baseball and softball are becoming increasingly popular in the UK with more and more universities entering teams every year.
With hundreds of external baseball and softball clubs already established in the UK, the introduction at the university level has been a huge step forward for both sports.
Whether you are looking to play at a competitive level or for the first time, there are plenty of opportunities for students of any ability to enjoy both sports.
