SportBU Service Updates

Access to the Gym facility is unavailable at this time due to the national lockdown and the temporary closure of SportBU.

When we re-open all gym access will require a booking. This can be done via the SportBU website or calling us on 01202 965012 in advance and slots are on the hour for an hour. We would advise booking in advance online as the gym capacity slots may be full if booking is done on arrival.

Specific equipment has been removed due to health and safety guidelines. This includes any yoga/stretching mats so please bring your own if you require one. These can also be purchased from SportBU reception.

All Support services, such as massage, chiropractic’s, physio and personal training, are temporarily unavailable. Once we re-open we’ll aim to gradually reintroduce these services back our day-to-day operations. Please keep an eye on this space and the relevant ‘Health, Fitness & Wellbeing’ pages too.

*Performance Sport training for all subsiquent sports is cancelled until further notice.

The programme is still currently being planned for continuation in January 2021, however this could be subject to change depending on government guidance. We hope our strength and conditioning services along with fitness specific sessions to return at the start of term two; however, sport-specific returns are currently pending.

We aim to offer activities to enable teams to interact with when students return in January. As the government and sporting National Governing Bodies (NGBs) release return-to-play regulations and guidelines, we will be able to shape our own delivery per sport.

The British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) NGB has postponed inter-university competition until January 2021. This is to enable all universities time to embrace changes in delivery during term one and adjust according to any new legislation governing bodies over the winter period.

Campus Sport has to adhere to Coronavirus restrictions and safety guidelines upon our re-opening. We await to see how this effects the programme going forward and will keep you updated, right here, when we have more information.

When we return, all of our sports must be pre-booked, including our pay and play sessions, which you will see listed under social sport.

Our football Campus Leagues will also be operating again, and we’ll do our best to arrange additional fixtures to cover any missed over lockdown.
