Sports facilities

You can take advantage of some of the best sports facilities in East Anglia at the College – they’re here for all our students to use!

First-class training facilities

There are nine acres of football, rugby and cricket pitches at our Luard Road playing fields. We also have access to St Catherine’s College hockey pitches and a 4G rugby pitch at Shelford Rugby Club.

Our Sports and Tennis Centre includes four indoor and six outdoor tennis courts and the sports hall hosts activities including volleyball, basketball, five-a-side football, netball, circuits, aerobics, table tennis and badminton. In addition, there is a cricket hall with two bowling machines. 

Volleyball is super good for making friends, staying active and to relax for a while. Playing college sports can leave you with great memories!

I really enjoyed five-a-side football! It was fun playing with friends and felt like a break from academic work
