Introduction
We appreciate that not all Sports Federation Clubs are the same. Sport Brighton has put
together a range of options for your Sports Federation Club. The University of Brighton
currently offers one of the cheapest ways to take part in student clubs across the
university sector. However we know that some clubs have a desire to excel and perform
to their full potential. We have looked to provide student clubs with an opt in for those
that want this.
For the 2015/16 academic year we need your club to opt for what level
of support you require from Sport Brighton and the resulting cost to
your members. The University has invested additional resource into this
programme so you can be assured that your members are
getting great value for money whatever you choose. These
options are now available to ALL clubs.
Details of the different types of club classification you can
choose from is in this guide. If you would like to discuss
in more detail about your club’s options then please
contact us, details are at the back of this guide. We will
be holding end of year review meetings with all club
committees in May 2015.
All clubs must complete their ratification form for 2015/16
