Get Active: Try It session guide

Want to know more about what happens at a Get Active Try It session? Well you've come to the right place! Read our handy session guide for what to expect.


Welcome to Get Active Try It! Our friendly, relaxed sessions are a great way to meet new people, have some fun, get moving and take a break from studying.

You don't need any prior experience to join a Get Active Try It session, just turn up and have a go at your own pace. Come along on your own and we'll help you meet others, bring some friends or try something completely new.

And if you like the sound of a session but don't have the equipment, that's not a problem either. Everything you need is provided.


Badminton

Play singles or doubles. Come on your own to meet new people, play with your mates or ask one of our friendly student session leaders to join you on the court to teach you the basics, play an easy rally or even a full match.

Basketball

Enjoy trying dribbling, shooting and playing at your own pace.

Football

Fancy a kick about? Come for fun and give dribbling, shooting and goalkeeping a go in a chilled out game!

Futsal

Similar to football, futsal is played with much taller goals and a smaller, weighted ball. 

Kwik Cricket 

A fast and fun version of cricket that's perfect for beginners. Have a go at batting, bowling and fielding and take part in a relaxed game.

Pickleball

A fun, easy-to-pick-up racket game that's a bit like a mix of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Play at your own pace, learn the basics and enjoy a few rallies or a friendly game.

Table Tennis

Whether you call it table tennis or ping-pong, it’s super fun and a great way to meet new people.

Volleyball

Our indoor volleyball sessions are run by brilliant students from our Volleyball Club, who will tell you all you need to know about this fun game.

Weekly Women's Only Session

Each week we'll play a different sport together. 

We hope to see you at one of our sessions soon!
