Staff Sport

Staff sport is a free recreational sporting opportunity for º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ staff members and PhD students.

Staff sport aims to create fun weekly sessions that allow staff members and PhD students to get active for free.

The sessions contain friendly match play with no obligation to play every week. To participate, head to the LboroSport app and head top the Staff Sport tile to book onto the desired session.

Sessions can be booked up to 7 days in advance, and you can cancel at any time. The Recreational Sport and Physical Activity Co-ordinator sends out bi-weekly emails to update staff on which activities are taking place on which days of the week. 

Please note: these sessions are all self-led.
