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 'Give It A Go..' sessions?

Our ‘Give It A Go’ sessions are an introduction to where you can try 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.
