The Exeter Sporting 2012-2013
Experience
WELCOME
TO THE AU
2012-13
Welcome to the University of Exeter and the Athletic Union (AU). The Athletic Union is here to do everything we can to give you the best sporting experience as possible during your time here at Exeter. Whether you’re competing at the highest level or trying a sport for the first time, we cater for all abilities. Exeter has a renowned sporting reputation, finishing 7th in last year’s BUCS (British Universities & Colleges Sport) league. As an Athletic Union we have a real ambition to build on this success and consistently be a top ten finishing institution. We don’t just focus on BUCS performance however; we strive to provide something for everyone. Whether it’s trying out new sports, coaching through our Sports Volunteer Scheme, or playing for an Intramural team once a week with your friends, you’ll find it here. This booklet is designed to be your sporting bible, with all the information you will need to contact the relevant club captains and see what Exeter sport has to offer. Over the page you’ll see a list of taster and trial sessions that will be happening during Fresher’s Week. This is the ideal time to get stuck in and try something new! Being part of the Athletic Union is essential to ensure you get the most out of your time at Exeter. The diversity of activities, sports and opportunities to participate in are vast yet they all have the same goal: enjoyment through sport. I look forward to meeting you in the coming year.
Joe Batten Athletic Union President 2012-2013

AMERICAN FOOTBALL
Do you want to try a fast paced, hard hitting and exciting new sport? American football has become extremely popular at university level, with over 60 teams competing in the National League. The Exeter Demons have quickly established themselves as a National playoff contender. With playing positions to suit all skill sets, American football really is a sport for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you have never played before, as our qualified coaching staff will have you padded up and making big plays in no time! We also pride ourselves on having a great social atmosphere, with members regularly meeting up off the football field for socials or to watch the NFL at Walkabout sports bar.

Archery is a very accessible and diverse sport, with a strong emphasis on personal achievement and improvement whatever level your level of skill. The UEAC is a friendly, relaxed club and we welcome new members with or without any prior experience of archery. We run a beginners course during the first six weeks of term which equips new members with the skills and safety knowledge to start shooting at club training sessions and we have a qualified level one coach who attends sessions and helps with developing technique and ability. You can come along to shoot just for relaxation after a hard day at uni and to socialize after training or, if you are interested in shooting competitively, we encourage and support your development with coaching and squad training sessions leading to involvement in the local and national competitions which are held regularly throughout the year.

Exeter University Boat Club is one of the largest and most successful clubs in the AU. Rowing itself has become one of Britain’s highest profile sports, illustrated by our success at the London2012. EUBC maintains a high standard of sportsmanship with training regimes tailored to each squad’s aims, whether you join as a complete novice or a high performance sports scholar. We have our very own training gym on campus as well as regular sessions with the S&C coaches. We compete at all BUCS and national regattas, within men and women’s light and heavyweight categories, and have tripled our BUCS points intake in the last year. All this, along with a brand new £0.5mil boathouse built in summer 2012 means there has not been a better time to try out the sport for yourself.

SNOOKER AND POOL
Email club captain for further details The Snooker and Pool club is a great club to join if you are a national player or a complete beginner looking for a casual game. We have two organised training sessions a week where you can play snooker, English 8-ball pool and American pool. Training is usually a casual affair, with members playing friendly frames against each other at the local Riley’s, giving members the chance to get to know each other on a personal and competitive level. Training is flexible; you can turn up as often as it suits you, with an internal snooker and 8-ball pool league run outside of training for more competitive practice. We also look forward to many socials held throughout the year, with the opportunity for everyone to play free pool and have a good time. In the second term we send 5 or 6 teams to the national BUCS Pool and Snooker Championships where we always have a good chance of winning a medal. The club is now growing a reputation for producing national talents, with 3 of our members playing for England as a result of their performance last year. So if you’re looking to play an enjoyable, sociable sport, with or without a competitive edge, this is probably the club for you!

The game itself involves seven players on each team, who are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool, desperately fighting over one ball in order to score goals. It will test your strength, speed and stamina and substantially improve your overall fitness throughout the season. With games occurring almost every week, it only makes sense that the EUWPC also offers some of the greatest socials on campus for you to attend and let off some steam!
