UQ Shuttle Hustle

Badminton is taking over The University of Queensland!

UQ Sport brings you an exciting International Student Festival, where you can compete, play casually, and soak up the atmosphere!

Ready to compete? Register as a team or as an individual — if you register on your own, we’ll match you with other players and put you into a team. Then take to the court and battle it out for the win!

Prefer something more casual? Choose the timeslot that suits you and come along for a hit! No experience necessary — just grab your friends, bring a racquet and enjoy some free play.

Expect music, fun activations, free lunch packs, plenty of badminton and a festival atmosphere as we bring students together on and off the court.

Whether you’re here to compete, try something new or just have fun, there’s something for everyone!

Grab your friends, bring your racquet and get involved!
