How long has the stereotype that CS students and hobbyists don't play sports existed?
Well, I say NO MORE!!

I've already gathered numbers for CompSoc FC (although we'd love more), with internal/external friendlies planned for semester 1. We're expecting to join the intramural league at the start of semester 2, ready to dominate!!!

The term sport, however, is no longer restricted to traditional competitions...
If the interest is there, gaming tournaments and competitions could be on the table against fellow CompSoc members.

Other sports we could explore for one-off sessions or permanent additions include (but are not limited to):
- Ultimate Frisbee
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Table Tennis
- Baseball

Bottom line: if you want to play it, we'll get it organised.
Let's make sport a proper fixture of the CompSoc calendar this year!!

VOTE FELIX FOR SPORTS EVENTS OFFICER!!!! ✌️

Hey, I’m Omar and I’m in my second year. Back home I played seven-a-side every week, and honestly some of my closest friends came from those games. That’s why I’m running for Sports Event Officer. I want CompSoc to have that too. My goal is simple: regular football and volleyball sessions that anyone can come to. It doesn’t matter if you play all the time or haven’t kicked a ball in years, it’s meant to be fun and judgement free. You turn up, you play, you meet people, and you get off your laptop for a bit. I also want to set up a football event with other societies, so we’re not just playing against the same faces every week. I’ll keep it cheap and put dates out early, so it doesn’t clash with your deadlines. I’ll be at every session, so if you want a different sport or have an idea, just come talk to me. I’ve done years of volunteering on beach and desert clean-ups, so getting people organised and actually showing up is something I’m used to. If you want more sport in CompSoc, vote for me.
