Check out our Sporting Facilities

Welcome

The Centre for Sport, Health and Exercise is responsible for the management of both the indoor and outdoor sporting facilities as well as organising an extensive recreation programme.

The Recreation Programme is divided into five areas:

Group Exercise Classes

The Group Exercise Classes run every week and cater for all abilities. Classes include Aerobics, Simple Step Aerobics, Boxing Fitness, Yoga, Circuit Training, ‘Legs Bums and Tums’ and many more. As many as twenty classes run every week!

Instructional Courses

Instructional Courses usually last between two and six weeks and are progressive classes which allow you to learn a new activity or improve on your current standard. Beginners classes in Pole Fitness, Trampolining, Squash, Tai Chi, Golf and Pilates are examples of the new activities you could try. You will probably never have a better opportunity to participate than during your time at University.

Intra Mural

The Intra Mural leagues are one of the most popular competitions on Campus. The competitions are open to students and staff of all abilities. Most leagues last for 6/8 weeks and you are guaranteed matches every week! All you need to do is get a team together and make sure that you register early.

Play Sport

Play Sport is an exciting programme which is designed for you just yo turn up and ‘play sport’! there s no membership, no leagues and all you have to do is turn up each week and have fun! The sports include Futsal, Volleyball, Basketball, Badminton, Football and Uni Hockey.

Coaching qualifications

The Centre also organises Coaching qualifications for those who may be interested in coaching a specific sport. We have put together an intensive coaching programme which runs throughout the year to enable you to undertake a variety of awards which will help boost your CV.

Represent the University

If you want to play competitive sports the university plays every Wednesday in the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) Competition. Our Men’s Badminton 1st team now play in the Premiership Division, the top division in the Country. We have over 26 teams playing regularly in the BUCS competition and have a ‘Focus Sports’ programme to help develop specific sports.

Membership Scheme

If you intend to use the Centre on a regular basis then it is advisable to join the Membership Scheme which will allow subsidised rates on all facilities and activities.
