Hall sports leagues (IMS)

Our Hall sports leagues are an ideal way to get to know your new hall mates and stay active right here on campus. They are part of our hugely popular intramural sports leagues (IMS) programme and offer weekly netball and football leagues as well as one-off events just for students living in University-owned Halls of Residence.

Compete here on campus

Part of our popular intramural sports programme, we offer weekly Halls IMS leagues for football and netball - with all matches played on campus. We run a series of one-off events throughout the year too, starting off with our Hall Sports Day!

Our Halls IMS football and netball leagues are free-of-charge to enter. 

Don't forget, you can also play with your course or a society team or with a group of friends in our central IMS leagues - we offer football, netball as well as 10 other sports. 

How do I find a team to play with?

Our Halls teams are all led by students in halls - so if you would like to play, speak to your fellow hall mates to get your teams together!

We're also running three free events in September and October, designed for you to find out more about our Halls sports leagues (IMS) and get to know your new team mates.

We do recommend pre-registering via the links below, but you can also turn up on the day. Make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing and suitable trainers for playing sport. We'll give everyone a free t-shirt (whilst stocks last!)

You don't need to have a team together - our friendly organisers will sort that for you on the day!
