As you start to get settled into university life, you may find you’re missing something. You have your syllabuses in order, courses sorted, classroom locations scoped out, and when the coffee lines are the shortest, but are you involved and a feel a part of the school spirit?

A huge part of the university experience, and the thing you’ll reminisce about your university time, is what you did outside the classroom. If sport has always been part of your life or something you always wanted to be involved with, try joining or starting a Sport Club at MacEwan to help fill that void.

Sport and Wellness currently has Badminton, Barbell, Cheer, Climbing, Outdoors, Scuba, Swim, Lacrosse, Ultimate, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu clubs either running, in the approval process or seeking new leadership, and we’re always seeking students to start and lead new sport clubs.

If being involved isn’t enough of a motivation for you, there are many benefits to joining a university sport club.

  • Make new friends. You’ll be joining a group of people who have similar values and interests as you and will help broaden your network.
  • Keep healthy. Besides the obvious benefits of exercise- being active helps you reduce stress, relax and can boost your confidence in and out of the classroom.
  • Try something new. Maybe you never tried weightlifting, cheer or climbing, and always wanted to, what better way to do it in an environment of peers.
  • Improve your employability. Take on a leadership role in sport club can help your organizing, planning and communication skills, giving you unique experiences to put on your resume for when you graduate.
  • Have fun. Sport clubs just give you another opportunity to bring joy to your everyday life.
