Welcome to University of Stirling Sport

Welcome back for another new semester at University of Stirling Sport. Whether you're arriving for the first time or returning after the holidays, this page has all the information you need to get involved!

What’s on - welcome activities

Open for students of all abilities and experience, we're running a wide variety of intro fitness classes, Just Play recreational sport sessions and one-off events during Welcome Week and our sports clubs will also be running Give It a Go sessions throughout the welcome period.

All our intro and taster sessions are free and you can find the full timetable and book in via the Sport app (see below) or online portal.

You will require a physical student card (not app/phone-based) to access the sports facilities. Optional key fobs and phone stickers are available to purchase at reception to make accessing the facilities even easier.

Download our app for all your sport, health and wellbeing needs with timetables, information, bookings and digital content available at a touch of a button.

Students automatically have an account with us so, once you download the app, you’ll just need to reset your password using your University email address.

Come say hi!

Our amazing team will be at all the main University events throughout the welcome period so come say hi and let us know if you have any queries or need help with anything!

We'll also be delivering Sports Centre tours across the opening week of the new semester for all students.

The tours give you a chance to see all our fantastic facilities and find out more about staying active at the University.

No need to book either, just pop along at any point over the welcome period and one of the team will be happy to help!
