Build your community at ECU Sports Clubs
Start a sports club
Starting an ECU sports club is a great way to bring people together, create an inclusive community, and build real leadership skills while studying. If you have an idea for a sports club and want it officially affiliated with ECU, follow the steps below.
What you’ll need to do
- Find your members
You’ll need at least 10 interested members. Members must be current ECU students or staff. - Read the guidelines
Review the ECU Sports Clubs Guidelines (coming February 2026) to understand how clubs operate and what’s required. - Form a committee
Find at least two people to help manage the club. Different committee structures are available, you choose what suits your club. - Chat with the ECU Sport & Recreation team
Book a meeting to talk through your club idea and next steps. Email ecusportsclubs@ecu.edu.au to organise a time. - Hold an AGM and complete the forms
Run an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to elect club leaders and complete the Operational Plan form. - Submit everything for approval
Once your paperwork is submitted and approved by ECU Sport and Recreation, your club is officially ready to go.
