Octopush(水中曲棍球)

Oxford, York. Aberdeen and Warwick are only some of the universities that offer this rather unusual sport. Anyone who is able to swim can play. It is played by two teams of six players. Everyone wears a mask and carries a small wooden stick.

Skiing and snowboarding

Nearly every university in the UK has a skiing and snowboarding club. For example, Brumski 8. Board Club of Birmingham University has run for 30 years and has about 500 members. They hold Christmas and Easter ski trips every year and take part in competitions.

Skateboarding

Warwick University is home to the Longboarding Club. A longboard is two or three feet longer than a usual skateboard and has a wider wheel base. Instead of offering club T-shirts, the Longboarding Club lets members have their personal socks.

BASE jumping

The University of Lincoln offers BASE jumping. In BASE jumping, players jump from fixed objects and use a parachute(降落伞) to break their fall. They go on weekly trips to Skydive Hibaldstow.
