If you cannot attend a booked session it is essential that you cancel this no later than 1-hour before the session. This ensures other members have the opportunity to participate and join the session.

Repeated failure to cancel your sessions may result in a fine or restriction being placed on your account.

It is also important that you are registered for our sessions. For indoor sessions please make sure you swipe through the turnstiles. For outdoor sessions, it is your responsibility to speak to the staff member leading the session and to make sure your registration is recorded.

What are 'I've never tried...' sessions?

Our ‘I’ve never tried’ sessions are an introduction to several different sports throughout the term for students who are looking to try an activity or sport for the very first time!

No previous experience is required in these sessions and they represent a great chance to gain confidence in a new sport, make some friends and challenge yourself alongside your studies.

During the spring term we will be running the following:

• Climbing – Wednesday 26 January, Wednesday 2 February and Wednesday 9 February
• Kickboxing – Wednesday 16 February and Wednesday 23 February
• Women’s football – Wednesday 2 March and Wednesday 9 March
• Handball – Wednesday 16 March and Wednesday 23 March

To book head over to the Essex Sport app and we look forward to welcoming you to the start of your sporting journey!
