Hit those courts like nobody’s watching
Are you looking to channel your inner badminton champion? The ANU Badminton Club is the perfect place to start. Our courts are ideal for everyone, from those who think “shuttlecock” is a fancy bird to seasoned players ready to unleash their inner champion. Whether you're looking to join the ANU social sports scene or just want a casual badminton game with friends, our facilities at ANU Sport are cater to all.
If you’re interested in gathering friends for a game, the ANU Sport booking system makes it easy to secure a court. Plus, joining with an ANU sport membership, can get access to various other sports on campus. Grab your racket and get ready to smash.
The Badminton Club at ANU is super social, and also offers equipment loans and coaching.
Bend it like Beckham at the North Oval
The ANU North Oval is your ultimate playground for those who dream of glory on the football field. This sprawling green space is ideal for a range of sports, including soccer, rugby and cricket. It is also a great place for a casual game of touch football or leisurely jog.
The North Oval becomes a bustling hub for social sports fans when the weather heats up. Whether you’re part of an ANU sport club or just love a good pickup game, this is where the action happens.

Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming

No matter the weather outside, our indoor pool stays comfortable and ready to go year-round.
