Ways to get involved
- Team UCL Social Leagues & Tournaments
We run weekly leagues and one-off tournaments in a number of sports, find out more here. Our activators are on hand to make sure everyone has the best experience. Responsibilities include equipment management, tracking attendance and creating content for social media. This is a great role to get hands on experience running events and you'll play a big part in shaping the leagues and tournaments.
- Project Active Pay and Play
Project Active is TeamUCL's programme of inclusive and beginner friendly physical activity. Activators facilitate our Pay and Play sessions to make sure everyone feels welcome and included. This is a great way to get more involved in a sport you love, get more students taking part and develop your own skills.
