A sporting association for the benefit of the students<\/h2>

A.S. UCLy<\/strong> is a student sport association (registered as a non-profit organisation under the law of 1901) managed by the Bureau des Sports<\/em> (BDS) and run by students, 2 qualified sports instructors, and a team of 15 external contributors.<\/p>

The association enables all students from UCLy, and partner schools, to participate in a sporting activity in a university setting bringing together nearly 700 students each year to practice the sports of their choice.<\/p>

It creates a space where a diverse student body can participate in common activities<\/p>

Some twenty sports activities are offered throughout the year at UCLy for all levels: leisure, regional or inter-regional university championships, national or even international competitions ans events, etc.
