Male basketball coach teaches skills to students

Sport at Staffs

University is all about learning new things, meeting new people and just giving it a go - and all that can happen outside of the lecture theatre, too! 

During Welcome Week, Sport at Staffs is hosting a range of give-it-a-go sessions to introduce you to our sporting community. No matter your skill level, everyone is invited to come down and try out what's on offer. 

All events are totally free to attend with all equipment provided - you'll just need to make sure you're wearing suitable clothing and footwear.
