What is black and gold membership?

Modified on Mon, 23 Sep at 1:00 PM

In order to join a sports club, you must first pay an AU Fee. This membership fee is added on automatically into your basket the first time that you purchase a club membership in the academic year.


This fee goes directly to York Sport Union and helps to fund the opportunities on offer, as well as provides sports insurance for all athletes. 

The AU fee can be paid through the website: simply select a club membership and the fee will be added to your basket. The fee amount depends on which sports club you choose. 


The two AU fee price brackets are:

  • Gold Tier £15 - for any club who train off campus

  • Black Tier £30 - for any club who train on campus at the York Sport facilities.


Most clubs then charge a membership fee on top of the AU fee. This goes directly to the clubs to fund travel, equipment, competitions and more.
