Welcome to the BUCS Team Sports page! 

Here you will find all the information and guidance that you will need throughout the season. Before you complete any of the below, make sure you have a read through the BUCS Rules and Regulations for general competiton and then for your specific sport: 

• BUCS Rules and Regulations - General
• BUCS Rules and Regulations - Sport Specific

Here is a list of helpful links for you, and your team, to get set up on BUCS Play. This will need to be completed at the beginning of the season to ensure you're all ready and set up to compete for Northumbria University:   

• Register for BUCS Play

Now that you're all set up, you have to submit a team sheet before EVERY fixture (failure to do this will result in points being deducted). This link below will show you how to do this:
