Sports Overview

The GSA plays an active role in the provision of sports for post-graduate students. We believe that participation in sport can play a valuable part in developing a healthy lifestyle, and provides an important break from the stress of work. Because of this, we run sessions in a number of sports, open to all postgraduate students.

Our main aim is to ensure that our members have fun whenever they play sport. For us, it really is the taking part that counts. Many people worry that they aren't good enough to get involved, but we cater for all levels of ability and would be delighted to have you join us.

Our sessions are free. You do not need to be a member of the sports centre, but you do need to pay a one-off £5 college sport membership (valid for the whole academic year) to join these sessions.

The captains of most of these sports organise the Wentworth College teams to play matches against other colleges in the university. As a postgraduate you are eligible to play for Wentworth, regardless of what college your department is in or where you live.

If you're interested, come along to any of the sessions listed below, get in touch with the captains of any sports you are interested in, or contact us at sports@yorkgsa.org. You can also find us on Facebook, by searching for York GSA Sport.

PRACTICES - SUMMER HOLIDAYS

We run and sponsor sessions for 11 different sports, so whatever you're interested in hopefully there's something here for you. Please get in touch if you play these sports, or would like to learn. All abilities are welcome as it's all about the fun! Get in contact with the captain for the sport you are interested in to find out more....
