Sports Solent
Whether you're an elite athlete or a total beginner, you're probably going to have some interest in sport whilst at university. Good news is, Sport Solent is here to help!
We have great sporting facilities on campus, including fitness suites, a sports hall and our own playing fields. There are over forty clubs for you to join, with the usual suspects like netball, basketball and football as well as the more daring like wakeboarding, snowboarding, sub-aqua or equestrian sports, all giving you the chance to compete at various university levels.
If studying has worn you out, then why not chill out in one of the saunas. You can also take advantage of staff expertise to give you things like nutritional advice, massage therapy, a full body MOT … even a personal trainer.
If you're a little sports shy then why not join the Kick Start programme? You can join staff and other students to develop skills in new areas like boxing, Kung Fu, trampolining and rowing.
For those who take sport a little more seriously, we offer a wide range of accredited sports coaching awards. Working with partners such as Southampton Football Club and Southampton City Council, this is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your leadership skills and give a little something back to the community. Whether you prefer to take to the courts or take to the water, there's a course for you.
Speaking of water … our fully accredited RYA Training Centre can be found at the Warsash Campus. Situated at the mouth of the River Hamble, there's certainly plenty to do!
All varieties of sailing and powerboating can be experienced here at Warsash, from novice to instructor level. We have a range of modern crafts with highly qualified instructors. With a centre like this, it's no wonder our students are world yachting champions!
So, with facilities and opportunities this good, how could you not give Sport Solent a try? They're there to support every student's need. Perfect, whether you want to work … rest .......or just play!
