Represent Deakin in your sport – try out for the Deakin Dragons!
Sport is one of the best things you can try at Deakin. Apart from the obvious physical benefits, participating in one of our many team or individual activities and events is a great way to meet other students, forget about study for a while and have heaps of fun!
Sound good to you?
Then register now to try out for the Deakin Dragons!
The Deakin Dragons represent the University and compete against other universities in inter-varsity state and national events including the UniSport Nationals (a flagship multi-sport event) held on the Gold Coast, QLD this year from Monday 29 September to Friday 3 October 2025. There are also several standalone championships that take place throughout the year. Participating in the UniSport Nationals events provides a great opportunity for you to represent Deakin while travelling and connecting with your fellow student athletes.
