Sports
The most popular sports are probably rowing, football, and rugby. There is also netball, hockey, cricket, squash, tennis, badminton, croquet, bridge, and bar sports (table football, darts, and pool). Intercollegiate competitions known as Cuppers are held for all of these. The College has a nearby sports field and the rugby pitch is located in the University Parks. We have our own boathouse at the river. Visit the JCR sports pages for a list of teams and captains, or the University's series of essays on Oxford sport by Balliol alumnus Professor Simon Lee.
Societies
There are various societies in College and you can find a list of the major ones on the JCR society pages. There are subject-specific societies, music and drama societies, and religious societies.
