If you’re looking for a way to destress from all your immediate responsibilities and want to do a sport free of cost, look no further than Strathclyde’s StrathActive sport sessions.
This health initiative, started in partnership with the Sports Union and Strath Union, provides students and staff the chance to participate in sports and physical activities without breaking their wallet. The sports range from badminton to indoor football, and it’s a great chance to exercise and meet new people from all sorts of backgrounds. All equipment is pre-provided; you only need to wear appropriate clothing and have fun!
Programmes always run during term-time and the next one is from 20 January to 30 March 2025. Most sessions take place weekly at Strathclyde Sport, the fitness centre located at the heart of campus. Be sure to check it out, the opportunities are endless!
Tani Joseph, a spokesperson for StrathActive, said, “Being in StrathActive was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had this year. From trying new sports to challenging my social skills, it had it all. In StrathActive, we offer free support sessions at the sports union to all students, we even offer free badminton sessions for the staff. What I genuinely loved was the fact that there was so much diversity in the level of sport and culture. I genuinely think being in StrathActive was one of the best experiences and hope that many more students get the change to experience it.”
