We have over 30 different sports clubs at Christ Church with the majority of these competing in the BUCS leagues.
In order to play for sports teams at Christ Church you need to purchase two different memberships:
-
Club Affiliation Membership
-
Christ Church Sport Membership
Without both memberships you are unable to take part or train so please purchase both memberships at the same time.
Why are there two Memberships?
Christ Church Students’ Union and Christ Church Sport & Active Health work together to make the sports provision more sustainable and improve your experience as a sports team member.
-
Club Affiliation Membership - The cost of this is set by your club’s committee and covers insurance, allows you to participate in committee elections, and is used by your club for any extra curricular activities benefitting the club as a whole.
-
Christ Church Sport Membership - There are two membership levels to choose from: PARTICIPATE or COMPETE.
- The PARTICIPATE membership covers the cost of facilities, affiliations, first-aid allowing members access to any ‘Participate’ sessions in any of the sports offered – the focus is on enjoyment and benefitting from opportunities to improve. The cost is set at £72 for the whole year and can be paid either in full at the beginning of the year or via two termly payments of £36.
- The COMPETE membership includes everything the ‘Participate’ membership does, withe addition of training, coaches, officials and transport and is specifically those playing fixtures and attending coaching session. This has a cost of £120 for the whole year which can either be paid in full at the beginning of the year or via two termly payments of £60. For clubs that take part in activity beyond March each year (such as Athletics and Cricket) students will need to take out an additional membership for term 3.
Where do I buy my memberships?
Visit ccsu.co.uk/activities/sport/list/ and select your club. On this page you will see links for both: Club Affiliation Membership; Christ Church Sport Membership.
Please note that this will involve two separate transactions. The Club Affiliation membership is directly on this website (using your CCCU login details), whilst the Christ Church Sport Membership is via an embedded widget that uses a different transaction provider, Glofox, which requires a new registration.
So whilst these are on the same page, they are two separate transactions with two different logins.
What is the deadline for purchasing?
The Deadline for buying your membership is Monday 9th October as this is the week that the BUCS league fixtures start so you will need to be signed-up in order to take part.
