Student membership
If you plan to use our sports facilities or join activities regularly, you could spend less on each session with a membership.
Student membership costs £209 a year.

Your other student membership options
Monthly membership
You can pay monthly for £20.99 a month, plus a £10 joining fee.
You must sign up for at least 1 calendar month and can then cancel at any time.
Monthly membership does not include Student Union matches or university gyms nationwide.

Sports Pass
More interested in playing sport? If you want to train and play matches with a university club either competitively or as a hobby then you’ll need one of our Sports Passes.
Buy a Sports Club Pass
After consultation with committee members and SUSU in January 2023, a discounted fee has been reintroduced for our Sports Passes for the 23/24 academic year. Previously £99, they are now:
- £35 for the IM Team Pass
- £45 for the Sports Club Pass
The University of Southampton and Students' Union have various schemes to support students with membership options. These schemes include Access to Activities and the Ignite programme.
Find more information on these schemes.
Which pass do I need?
If you are part of an AU club that competes in BUCS matches, or if your club trains more than once per week then you’ll need a Sports Team Pass.
If you play Intramural (IM) fixtures and do not compete in BUCS matches then you’ll need an IM Team Pass.
Please email southamptonsport@soton.ac.uk if you have any queries.
What a Sports Pass gives you
The Sports Pass gives you access to:
- Athletic Union competitive matches
- Athletic Union training sessions
- intramural matches (for fun)
To train for a sport for fun, get an Intramural Team Pass.
Pay as you go
You can use many of our sports facilities without a membership. If you only plan to use our pool or gyms occasionally, you can pay each time you use them.
As a student, you pay £5.99 for each gym or swim session.
You can also choose to pay for classes.
To pay as you go, you need to register for free with Southampton Sport.
