Newcastle University

Want to stay active and have some fun without the pressure of BUCS matches and coaches getting you running circuits at 6am every day? Fancy a run-out, but worried about not a super-competitive, medal-winning athlete? Or have you never been sporty, but want to try something new at university?

Great idea - Go Play is just for you! Try a new sport or ease into an old one with entry level coaching and no pressure to compete! Try a taster session of something you fancy, and if you like it, carry on with a six week beginner course, giving you the skills to know what you’re doing!

Sports on offer:

• Dodgeball
• Canoeing
• StreetCheer
• Rounders
• Netball
• Basketball
• Korfball
• Golf
• Handball
• Touch Rugby
• Running
• Volleyball

Absolutely no experience necessary, no minimum fitness or maximum age, just come along and have a go! Our coaches will guide from beginner through all the basics, and we’ll get you playing in no time!  

Also on offer is the chance to train up as a coach, and if you find the sport is really your thing, the opportunity to set up a brand new club here at Newcastle, or join the existing one.

It’s also a chance for you current sports players to try a new sport too, as the sessions won’t clash with your Wednesday afternoon matches. Come and try!

Want to get involved? Come to the Activities office in the brand new Students’ Union building and get your place booked on the taster session of your choice (first come, first served); or you can check the NUSU website http://www.nusu.co.uk/goplay  or email active.union@ncl.ac.uk for more information. Sessions are just a couple of quid a go, with no membership fee required. Easy peasy!
