    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anyone has joined any of the teams in UCD before?? Did my undergrad there and just joined the gym but doing my postgrad this yr and thinking I"ll join soccor or tag rugby or something like that - haven't played team sports in a long long time - anyone know what the deal is? Do u need prev experience? Can anyone join (like i actually dunno how crap I am!)

    No expereince necessary. Obviously you wont be on the top team for a while. I playerd with UCD Mens Hockey Club between Sept 2003-May 2007 I was always crap but it was a great outlet, and some decent socials aswell

    Yeah I played hockey in school and played tennis but would like something a bit more physical, hence soccer or tag - think tag is separate to UCD but uses the grounds or something, supposed to be great social aspect alright! :D

    Superleague is the UCD soccer league. It is basically a sunday league thing but some of the teams take it pretty seriously. It is about 50 euro fees to join the team for a year and then there is subs of 21 euro a team to pay the ref (works out at about 2 euro a player).

    Anyone know anything about the Athletics club? I run a bit (long distance, not sprints!) but amn't the fastest so maybe that would be a problem :p

    HOw/Where do ya register for the superleague? Thinking I should do something, it'd be a laugh. Most matches are on Sunday too, yeah? Shall hopefully be able to get a team in, always a good laugh!

    EDIT: Is that €21 subs, is that for a match, or the season?

    Which team? We finished 2nd in our league.

    Taking football seriously is the only way to go!

    I'm definitely going to join the super league this year. Also, what are the chances of playing tennis in UCD?? Would love to take this back up. :)
