Stags: 

The largest sporting club at Aston, with 3 established and successful BUCS squads and a 4th XI development squad who play in the FA universities development league, as well as a wide range of social football, 6-a-side leagues, weekly socials, and other huge social events!

• Recognised as ‘Club of the Year’ by the Aston Student’s Union in 2024-25

• Consistent Varsity winners against BCU (recently 3-1 Stags win in 2026)

Squad training is on Monday evening. Please only come to these if you have been asked to from our trials or personally by the captains.

Wednesday is host to our BUCS fixtures and Wednesday evening is host to our weekly social event. 

Tuesday's and Thursday's we have our 6 a side intra-mural league. This is open to all members of Aston University and is an intramural league run by our Secretary. Please contact them for further information.

Friday is host to our social football, weekly 6-a-side for all of our 'active' level members. This saves you a lot of money over the year and allows you to socialise and meet new people. You do not need a team for this; you can just turn up and play.

This year we're taking on the success of the social side from last year and making it even bigger!  Our biggest social calendar yet, there will be loads going on! You can expect the usual debauchery seen at our weekly socials, PJ Hop, Bar Crawl with Netball, England national games, 'Stags in the city' where we take a coach to a secret city in the country for a night out, AU Ball, as well as our yearly TOUR. The Stags embark on a 'development tour' to experience the fine culture and football of a European country.

Everyone is welcome, irrespective of ability, so get your boots on and come join us. We have something for everyone!
