Student Sport

  Welcome to Student Sport

At the University of Pretoria, Student Sport is more than just physical activity. It is a cornerstone of student life, fostering camaraderie, leadership, and excellence.

Introducing the Student Sport Committee

The Student Sport Committee (SSC) is a committee under the Department of Student Affairs, a subcommittee of the Student Representative Council (SRC), entrusted with the responsibility of advancing a vibrant sporting culture that benefits the entire student body. As outlined in its constitution, the SSC is dedicated to promoting the values of inclusion, participation, and excellence in sport while acting as a bridge between students, the university, and external sporting organisations.

Who We Are

The SSC consists of 12 Executive Committee members, each assigned a specific portfolio to ensure the effective execution of its mandate. These roles include:

Chairperson

Vice Chairperson

SRC Ex-Officio

Treasurer

Secretary and Transformation

Campus League

Marketing, Media and Communications

Tournaments

Students with Disabilities and Projects

 GC Representative

Varsity Sports

TuksSport Representative and Co-Head of Campus League

Assisting the Executive Committee are the General Committee (GC) members, a dynamic group chosen by the GC Representative in consultation with the Chairperson. These members form an integral part of the team, aiding the Executive Committee in implementing initiatives, organising events, and fulfilling the committee’s objectives. Together, the EC and GC members ensure the SSC delivers on its mission of representing student interests in sports and fostering a culture of active and meaningful participation.

Our Role in Student Life

The SSC plays a transformative role in shaping the sports culture at the University of Pretoria. Beyond organising and coordinating sporting events, the committee advocates for student interests, collaborates with key stakeholders, and drives initiatives that align with the university’s vision. By doing so, the SSC empowers students to explore their potential, build lasting connections, and experience the profound impact of sport on their academic journey.
