UniSport Nationals

USQ will be entering the following teams into the competition (subject to minimum numbers).

Sport specific Team Managers

In preparation for the 2018 National competitions, USQ is searching for Sport specific Team Managers to assist the Student Life team. The Sport specific Team Manager role is similar to the role of team captain in past years, but has now been opened up to the community, not just competing USQ students. 

Sport specific Team Managers will be responsible for the training and selection of their team amongst other responsibilities. 

If you are interested in applying for a Sport specific Team Manager position for any of the sports above, please fill out our application form and send it to studentlife@usq.edu.au. 

Team training

For many sports, teams will begin training from Week 1 of Semester 1. These training sessions are open to all students interested in competing. Final teams will be selected by the Sport specific Team Manager for each sport in collaboration with the University Team Manager mid-semester. 

Registration and cost

The best way to join a team is to attend the training sessions listed above. Students will also need to complete a registration form for Division 2 and make the following payments:

Now referred to Indigenous Nationals, the event is a week-long multisport competition for indigenous student-athletes. The annual event aims to bring together student-athletes from universities across Australia to compete in a variety of sports and ultimately crown one university team the champion of the games. Indigenous Nationals is an amazing environment to not only celebrate the rich sporting culture of indigenous Australia but to also acknowledge the heritage and history of the participating student-athletes. 

Indigenous Nationals is open to both staff and currently enrolled students of UniSport Australia (UniSport) member universities.

In maintaining the integrity of the Indigenous Nationals as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander event and in keeping with the rules of engagement, confirmation of Aboriginality is required by each player participating in the competition.

The Indigenous Nationals take place in June/July every year and registration opens in February each year. For more information please contact studentlife@usq.edu.au.

UniSport Australia (UniSport) has joined forces with Spartan Australia to create the UniSport Challenge; tailor-made obstacle course races hosted on university campuses across Australia! 2018 will see the event debut in Sydney and Melbourne and is open to students, staff, alumni and community members of ANY university to participate.

Contact studentlife@usq.edu.au about registering a team.

In 2018, Nationals Snow will be held at Mt Buller and will be contested in both men's and women's competitions across four sports; alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboard and cross country skiing.
