If you’re low on funds and high on fun, grab your mates for Pick Up & Play, FREE student sport each week during semester!
Try your hand at something different – including Dodgeball, Badminton, Soccer, and more! Whatever the activity of the day, Pick Up & Play is not about competition but instead offers a chance to try something different, have fun and meet new people.
Pick Up & Play will resume in Semester 1 2026.
