CUS is a national association which has been operating for the last sixty years. Its main aim is to sustain the practising, promotion and subsequent growth of physical education and university sports activity, by organizing sporting events at local, national and international level in which the university student body is, naturally, the protagonist.

The CUS centres are to be found in 47 university cities around Italy, and have been legally recognized since 1968. The CUS centres are connected to the national body known as CUSI (Centro Universitario Sportivo Italiano), Italian University Sports Centre, and it is through CUSI that they are subsequently connected to FISU (Federazione Internazionale Sport Universitario), the International University Sports Federation which presides over the sporting activity of university students throughout the world.

The CUS Centre in Catania was founded in 1947 and is divided into sections which carry out activities at four different levels:

• promotion and growth of the practise of amateur sports of the various national sporting activities and of the CUSI, by means of beginner and advanced courses as well as recreational sporting tournaments for university students;

• promotion and growth of professional sporting activity under the National Sporting Federation and the CUSI, at local, provincial, national and international level;

• promotion and growth of sporting activities among youth under the activity of CONI (Centro Olimpico Nazionale Italiano), Italian National Olympic Centre;

• promotion and growth of university sporting tourism, by means of participation and organization of local, national and international “Campus”.

Several of the athletes of CUS Catania have contributed to the making of history for sporting activity in the city of Catania by achieving recognition at international level. There have been athletes who have won medals at the Olympic Games as well as the Universities, breaking national records and taking the Italian sporting name around the world.

The athletes of the University of Catania have reached premier league championships in track and field, hockey, volleyball, water-polo, table-tennis, rugby, sailing and basketball, taking the name of Catania and its University throughout Italy.
