About Us

SPORT Manchester is the sport service of The University of Manchester. Our dedicated team of sport enthusiasts deliver a programme of sport opportunities and fitness activities catering for beginners through to elite athletes.

As holder of the 2008 award as an International Sport City, Manchester has major strengths in sport and world class sport facilities. The University of Manchester is committed to helping students of all abilities to combine an active mind with an active body. This is why we positively promote an "Active Campus" through a range of great facilities and opportunities to keep fit and compete.

The University of Manchester is regularly seen as one of the top ten Universities for Sport. In 2010-11 we ranked 9th in the British Universities and Colleges Sport leagues and championships and we have 42 different sports clubs who compete weekly against other universities.

We have a significant number of professional links and partnerships within the local sporting community to support our athletes' development through world class facilities and expert coaching, and our volunteers in projects set around social responsibility.

So whatever your aspirations - from keeping fit, playing recreational sport, competing for your university, becoming a coach or training for London 2012 you will find the opportunities within this website!
