About Us

UWA Sports is a membership driven organisation that strives to create sporting and recreational opportunities for our members.

Our Mission:
To provide high quality sport and recreation opportunities and experiences at UWA through membership and participation.

Who are our members?  They're predominently made up of students, staff and graduates from the University of Western Australia.  We also have many members who live near the UWA Crawley Campus, so yes, you don't have to be a UWA student or graduate to be a member!  Everyone can join.

Sport was first played at UWA as far back as 1913 and over the years, UWA Sports has played an ever increasing role in running the University's sporting facilities, providing assistance to the many Sports Clubs of the University and also helping our students and members achieve their sporting and fitness goals.

Since 2001, UWA Sports has also awarded Sports Scholarships to our elite students, helping them make the step up to national and international prominence.  Some famous members of our sporting alumni include our Patron, 8-time Olympian Tom Hoad, current West Coast Eagle Brett Jones, Fremantle Dockers Peter Bell and Robert Hadrill as well as former Hockeyroo coach Ric Charlesworth.

UWA Sports is not just about providing Pathways to Excellence, however, it's also about Opportunities for All and we're committed to providing a range of activities that help our members stay healthy while enjoying the great location and opportunities that the University of Western Australia provides.

Through the development of new facilities like The UWA Watersports Complex, The UWA Tennis Centre and Shenton Recreation Park, all of which complement the existing UWA Recreation Centre, you're needs are sure to be covered. 

Exciting times are ahead of us at UWA Sports, and the opening of the UWA Watersports Complex, in particular, gives us the opportunity to provide a level of recreational activity for our members that is not normally available.  Imagine playing Canoe-Polo with King's Park as a backdrop!  Or hopping on a boat to learn to sail straight after a lecture!  All this will become a reality with the UWA Watersports Complex.

So what are you waiting for?  Contact us now to sign up for your membership!
