Sporticipate Sessions

Our recreational sport offer is entitled Sporticipate, and is the entry level programme for all students and staff at The University of Manchester.

All sessions, programmes and events are open to all abilities, specifically people who are new to the activity or complete beginners. All sessions provide equipment and the sessions are facilitated by the UoM Sport Workforce.

Sportcipate runs a full weekly drop in timetable, structured blocks of ‘Learn To’ coached sessions and regular large scale events. All are either free or at very low cost, which helps you stay fit and active during your time on campus.

Booking activities with friends

We have lots of availability across the day to play sports at our facilities across the city. You can book at our facilities at a time to suit you with a group of friends.

We have bookings for different activites at the Armitage Sports Centre or at Sugden Sports Centre giving you flexibility on when you play.  Facilities can be booked online for sessions but if you have any additional questions, you can contact the facilities for support.

The University of Manchester Women’s lacrosse club is a high performance club that welcomes anyone who wishes to join, whether you’re playing at national level or just starting out. Our club has two teams; the Women’s first team and the Women’s second team, who both compete in BUCS lacrosse. We also have the Women’s beginners team which supports those who at the start of their lacrosse journey, by building their confidence and skills through training sessions and Beginners tournaments, until they feel ready to play at the next level. Throughout the club we encourage each other and push each other in our teams, to be the best players and best individuals we can be, both on and off the field. Although we are niche sport, this is something we take pride in and we always endeavour to raise the profile of Women’s Lacrosse within the University and in the local community.
