A New Era of Social Sport at Aston University 🔥
Social sport at Aston has officially levelled up... and we’re excited to launch something completely new, inclusive, and built for every type of student: the Aston Cup!
Whether you're someone who loves trying new activities, a student looking to stay active, or simply hoping to meet new people, the Aston Cup is designed with you in mind. This brand new social sports league invites students from every corner of the university to come together, compete in a friendly environment, and experience a wide range of sports, no previous experience required.
What Is the Aston Cup? 💡
The Aston Cup is a multi-sport social league running across the academic year. It brings together Aston’s sports clubs and student community to create an accessible, fun, and inclusive environment. Unlike traditional competitive leagues, the Aston Cup is about participation, variety, and enjoyment.
Clubs from across the university — representing everything from team sports to individual activities, from physical sports to esports and even chess — will open their doors and run sessions for all abilities. You don’t have to join a team, pass a trial, or commit long-term. You just turn up, try something new, and enjoy it!
What Makes It Special? 🎯
1. Inclusive of all Skillsets
No experience? No problem. The Aston Cup is built so that anyone can join in. Whether you’ve never picked up a racket, kicked a ball, made a move on a chessboard, or been involved in esports — you’re welcome.
2. Try a Variety of Sports
This isn’t just one or two different sports. It’s a multi-sport experience featuring a huge range of activities thanks to the collaboration of Aston’s sports clubs. It’s a chance to explore something you’ve never tried before.
3. Meet New People
The Aston Cup brings together students from across the university in a relaxed, social setting. It’s the perfect opportunity to make new friends, meet club members, and feel more connected to the Aston community.
4. Flexible and Fun
No long-term commitment. No pressure to compete seriously. Just drop in, take part, and enjoy yourself. The emphasis is on participation, not just performance.
How It Works 🏅
Students can sign up for just £1 to join the tournament, giving them full access to all Aston Cup activities.
Each participating club will run open, beginner-friendly sessions, so students can pick whatever interests them. From there, they can get involved by attending sessions, learning new skills, taking part in friendly competitions, and earning points toward their club’s overall standing.
At the end of the league, we’ll celebrate together as we crown the very first winners of the Aston Cup! 🎉
