Campus Sport is dedicated to providing fun recreational opportunities for students, staff, and adults from the local community. The Campus Sport programme gives you the opportunity to enjoy sport in a social, non-competitive environment. We encourage you to participate and try out a range of activities, regardless of your ability. We aim to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere that is inclusive to all.
The Campus Sport programme is free of charge to all Edge Hill Sport paying members and only costs between £1 and £3 per session for non members. Wear what you feel comfortable in (as long as the coaches say it is safe to do so). You can book your session via our online system then turn up at the activity – it’s simple. There is no commitment to attend every week so you can attend one, or a succession of sessions, it is up to you. It is a great way to try new sports, keep healthy and meet new people. Equipment is provided and available to use at each session.
The Campus Sport programme provides a wide variety of regular recreational sports for you to choose from. These include badminton, netball, football, water polo plus many more.
Short Tennis is played on smaller courts with soft balls so is perfect for beginners and is fun for all abilities. Half the court but twice the fun.

Agreement between Edge Hill University, University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University to allow Edge Hill students to access the Sports sessions and Teams at Manchester Campuses
Agreement between Edge Hill University, University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University to allow Edge Hill students to access the Sports sessions and Teams at Manchester Campuses
This agreement only applies to Edge Hill University (EHU) students with courses primarily based at Edge Hill’s St James’ Campus in Manchester.
These students can access the sports sessions of University of Manchester (UoM) and Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) including potentially attending training sessions, Intra Mural activity and recreational sport programmes. The actual opportunities available will depend upon the institution and the popularity of the activity.
EHU students will pay the same rates as UoM and MMU students to attend these sessions. Each student will need to meet the same qualifying criteria to participate, and space is subject to availability (the students of the host institutions will take priority). To find more information about the programmes available please visit the website of the Universities:
To represent EHU in BUCS competitions the EHU student must follow the individual club’s team selection policy (which may include attending training at EHU). The Team Edge Hill fees will apply.
They will not be eligible to participate in BUCS fixtures for any other university (any exemptions must be within BUCS regulations).
EHU students can use the BUCS Universal Gym membership to access the Fitness facilities at the university as per the scheme guidelines.
