QMSU Get Active Program

Meet new people, make friends and try something new.

Get Active 

Get Active runs every weekday on campus. Whether you've never tried anything before or you just want to find something to do with other people, you're in the right place. Take part in a Try It session, learn something new on a 4-week Learn It Course, play in our Social Leagues or join one of our Special One-off Events. No experience needed, no kit required - just show up when you feel like it.

Try It Sessions

The top reason students come to Try It is to make friends and have fun, the sport is just the excuse. Join relaxed, low-pressure weekly sessions across a range of activities including Badminton, Basketball, Pickleball, Netball, Futsal, Table Tennis, and Volleyball - all led by students who know the sport. We also run a Women's Only session each week! £2 or less, no kit or experience required. Book on the app or just turn up on the day.

Learn It

Want to learn a new sport or improve your skills? Get Active Learn It courses run over four weeks in small groups, led by student club members who know the sport. All equipment is included, so come as a complete beginner and leave with new skills and confidence. Current courses available are - Volleyball, Fencing and Archery. Learn It courses can directly by clicking the button below 

Social Leagues

93% of Social League players said they made new friends. Sign up on your own and we'll sort you a team, or take part with friends, coursemates or flatmates. Although entries for the league in Sem 1 is now closed, we had 7-a-side football, cricket or basketball in friendly weekly leagues taking place on campus or nearby. No trials and no long-term commitment, just a relaxed and great way to play, have fun and meet new people. Trophies and medals are awarded to the winners of each league each semester!

The entry fee includes all fixtures, facilities, equipment and entry into the end of season tournament. Weekly fixtures and results will be shared on this page so you can stay updated with where you stand in the league. Other sports may be offered in Semester 2 and 3. 

Social League tickets for Sem 2 will be released in December 2026 so, keep an eye on our webpage.
