Welcome to UCT Sport
The university boasts 36 sports clubs with a total membership of over 6 000 students and staff.
The more traditional sports are all well catered for, but you also have the option of more exciting individual pursuits such as archery, hiking, mountaineering and more.
Sports and Recreation provides for all levels of competition from purely social programmes through to high-performance sport.
UCT has a proud record of achievement both in the Western Province leagues and at national student tournaments. Each year the university produces a number of sports people who achieve the highest honour of representing South Africa.
Sports development and transformation are taken very seriously at UCT. Our students are actively engaged in promoting sport in the local communities and within their clubs on campus.
Every club welcomes new members, from novices to the more experienced athletes, and is equipped to deal with the needs of each individual.
Most clubs engage the services of top-level coaches, many of whom coach at provincial level.
Sports facilities include an Astroturf hockey facility, an indoor sports complex, and excellent tennis, squash, soccer, rugby and cricket facilities. Our rowing club is one of the best equipped university clubs in the country.
In addition, UCT has access to a mountain near Ceres, an L26 keelboat and many sailing dinghies, an ocean-going dive boat, and a water-ski boat equipped with a 130hp engine.
