Our Social Sport Programme is perfect for students who want to play or officiate sports with friends, meet new people, get active and have fun!

The programme, which is open to all Coventry and CU Coventry students, will see sport league fixtures take place each week over the course of both semesters, with one-day events being planned in the future

The weekly leagues give you the chance to represent your college or schools socially in 5-a-side football and badminton

Each league will run on Mondays, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday lunchtimes. 

League winners will win a prize at the end of the semester!

More of a game’s official? We are also looking out for Social Sport Activators to come and run our weekly sessions. If you have previous experience as a referee or umpire and are looking for more experience on your CV, the Activator role is there to provide guidance and ensure the activities are engaging, fun and interactive.

As part of the programme, one-day events are being planned to give you a chance to try even more sports, switch off from your studies and meet new people.

This is what students think of Social Sport:

“The social aspect of the joining the Social Sport programme is a great way to challenge yourself against new people and it doesn't even feel like you're exercising!”

“You don’t have to be someone with a large sporting background to play. Just come along represent your school/college and have fun”

“It’s a way to stay active and help with your mental wellbeing”

Social Sport will see you represent your school/college in sport and build a community outside of the classroom.

It gives you the chance to switch off from you academic studies, get active and benefit your mental wellbeing.
