Football
Exeter is home to, funnily enough, Exeter City Football Club, known as the Grecians, a set of players so calamitous that it would be a minor miracle if they were to win a trophy! Still, it's the taking part that counts, and they do provide 9000 people with a great mix of joy and pain every other Saturdy at their St. James' Park ground, pictured.
Keep up to date with the progress (hopefully upwards) of the team by visiting one of the following websites:

BMXing
The Exeter Eagles BMX Racing Club is the oldest BMX racing club in the UK, and was founded back in 1979, when BMXs were a luxury form of transport.

The South West Road Runners is a 200-strong running club based in Exeter which has recently branched out to include some track and field events as well as cross country and trail running, and the triathlon.

Rugby
 The Exeter Chiefs represent the home of Rugby in Devon, and are passionately supported by many adoring fans. They have thriving youth and womens sections, and are always willing to introduce the game to new players. They also arrange many other social activities including supporters buses to away trips. Their website is full and informative, and also features an online merchandise shop.

Volleyball
 Formed in 1988, the Exeter & District Volleyball Association encourages the development of all forms of volleyball in the region. With the proximity to the beach at Exmouth, the club is located perfectly for a bit of beach volleyball action as well.
