Booking facilities and transport for fixtures

To make sure that our student groups are able to compete and perform to their best ability, SUSU applies a different procedure to Wednesday afternoon facility and vehicle bookings. The procedure is designed to ensure that student groups representing the Union and the University of Southampton in competitions on Wednesdays are supported as much as possible.

All requests for minibuses on a Wednesday for BUCS matches must be made to the Activities Coordinator - Sport . Buses are allocated the week before based on distance being travelled by teams. 

Non-Wednesday Fixtures and Competitions

If you need to book Union facilities or vehicles for a non-Wednesday fixture, please follow this link to the online booking form.

Please note that many of the university’s sports facilities fall under the management of Southampton Sport. However as an affiliated student group you will need to make this request via SUSU by emailing the Activities Coordinator - Sport and we will ask on your behalf. These facilities include everything located at Wide Lane, all facilities within the Jubilee Sports Centre, the martial arts room and the squash courts.

Block Bookings for Southampton Sport Spaces

Clubs are invited to request what training slots they would like for the new academic term over the summer period. The Sports Coordinator will then sit down with Southampton Sport and allocate training sessions based on size of the club and need.

Pitches for BUCS matches and Local league fixtures

All pitches for BUCS matches are automatically booked by the Activities Coordinator for Sport according to the BUCS league fixtures.

At the start of the season it is the responsibility of the Sports Club to inform the Activity Coordinator for Sport of all their local league matches that require pitch bookings from the University facilities. They will then book the matches in and inform that club if there are any clashes with existing bookings or BUCS matches.

Casual Bookings of Southampton Sport Spaces

Students can book the following spaces themselves directly with Southampton Sport as long as they have the correct membership:

• Jubilee Sports Hall – Netball, Basketball, Badminton
