Athletics Club
We strive for success in competition and work on building strong family values
If you are looking to enrich your university experience to the fullest then look no further than the University of Portsmouth Athletics Club. We are a club that accepts people of all experience, background and confidence.

This consists of a healthy balance of training, competition and socials.
