Are you looking to find friends to run/hike/bike/explore the great outdoors together? Are you interested in playing on an intramural sports team with other members of the department? If so this is the page for you! We maintain an active presence out on the streets, trails and fields, in and around Victoria!

As of Spring 2024 we now have a PAGSA spikeball and bocce ball set for anyone in PAGSA to use! Please check out the sign out sheet here! If playing organized sports is more your speed check out the below!
Intramural Sports
Every year we gauge interest over on our Discord channel on participation in intramural sports leagues on campus. Currently we have two active intramural teams: an indoor 5v5 Soccer team and an outdoor 7v7 Soccer team! We have a lot of fun, here are some pictures of the Instant Noodles Outdoor Soccer team in action!
If you would like to join the soccer team please reach out to Afif (aafif@uvic.ca) or post a message in the #Sports chat on Discord! Before joining the team you will need to navigate over to the signup link for UVic Intramurals and pay the registration fee ($28 for registered students) after signing in with your Netlink ID (what you use to sign in to UVic services) to officially join the team! Below are a few photos of the Instant Noodles in action this season!
Running
Do you like to run? Do you want to get into running but don’t know how/where to start? If you answered yes to either of these questions then we have the group for you! Currently you can post in the Discord looking for running buddies and in the past we have even scheduled regular runs (and sometimes even go out for a well deserved brunch afterwards!) Check out the #running channel to say hello, drop a line and connect with other running inclined PAGSApiens!
Hiking
Informal hikes are organized in the #hiking channel! Usually scheduled in the early afternoon on a Saturday or Sunday, small groups of PAGSApiens convene and head on out to one of the many convenintly located and scenic hiking spots in and around Victoria! From going up and around Mt. Doug, out to Sooke, there are plenty of trails to hit, just bring a comfortable pair of shoes or hiking boots!
Climbing
Over on the #climbing channel, a group of dedicated and intrepid climbers has organized a group that goes to Boulderhouse on Sunday mornings at 10:30 (time subject to change). Also, anyone who is looking for climbing partners or someone to hang with while going bouldering, or just someone to encourage them to try it out is invited to head on over to the channel to learn more!
And more!
Are you interested in getting like minded peers to play a sport together, such as shooting hoops over in the gym, doing a group fitness class together or just a few friends for working out more regularly? If so, head on over to the Discord to connect with your fellow fitness/sports minded peers!
