About the Sports Service

The Sports Service is open to everyone across Cambridge, from students and staff to the wider community. We're committed to making sport accessible to all, providing the facilities and activities for you to get active, stay active, and find what moves you.

We work across five key areas:

Active Students: recreational and social sport for students of all abilities
Active Staff: helping University staff build sport and physical activity into busy working lives
Sports Clubs: supporting over 75 University sports clubs, from grassroots to competitive level
Performance: developing talented athletes through the University of Cambridge Athlete Performance Programme (UCAPP) and The Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS)
Business & Facility Development: investing in world-class facilities, from the Gym and Strength & Conditioning Room, to delivering the first Padel courts in the city

Our five-year Strategy for Sport & Physical Activity guides everything we do, ensuring Cambridge continues to offer one of the richest and most accessible sporting environments in the country.

Governance

The Sports Service is part of the Unified Administrative Service, and is governed by the University's Sports Committee. Further information is available on our Moodle page, and at Cambridge University Governance.
