TUS Student Handbook 2023/24

We are always open to adding new sports to our line
up. If any student has a new sport that they would
like to initiate at TUS or if a sport/club listed above
is not active on your TUS Campus then they can
contact their individual campus sports department
for further details on how to create that club.
GAA CLUB
TUS GAA Club is a thriving, sporting hub for all
students regardless of playing ability and experience
level. We aim to cater for each student’s needs, with
particular emphasis on Freshers and International
Students as a means of assisting their integration
into college life. Our GAA Club offers playing
opportunities in competitive and recreational/
social environments. Whether your desire is to win
an All-Ireland, develop your current skills, meet
new friends or try a new sport to stay active – TUS
will welcome you with open arms. We have existing
members in all TUS campus locations – Athlone,
Ennis, Clare Street, Clonmel, Moylish and Thurles.
Our GAA Club consists of Camogie, Gaelic Football,
Handball, Hurling and Ladies Football. Every
academic year, our competitive teams play in a
League during Semester 1 – usually commencing
in late September and finishing prior to Christmas
exams. Semester 2 signifies the start of the Higher
Education GAA Championships in each of the
respective codes, typically with a playing window
of January to March. Our Handball athletes have
a series of competitions running nationally and
internationally throughout the year also.
