Team Edge Hill membership
All students that are training with or representing Edge Hill University either individually or as part of a team must hold a valid Team Edge Hill membership. The majority of competitions are organised by British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) although some competitions may sit outside BUCS. These membership fees contribute towards insurance, facility hire, officials, entry fees, and affiliations, transport, and playing kits among other expenses.
This £55 membership includes all membership benefits included in the Active Plus membership as well as access to Team Edge Hill clubs.
All students and staff holding an annual (12 month) membership at Edge Hill are eligible to access fitness facilities free of charge at over 80 other universities that have signed up to the BUCS UNIversal scheme. To gain access to the BUCS UNIversal membership simply create an account on the Playwaze app. Then, request the membership from your University of study/work. Once confirmed you can then present this at the registered facility to sign up.
It is important to note that the centre is a University facility and student use is prioritised. Daytime use of some facilities may be restricted due to academic teaching requirements.
Parking restrictions are in operation to non-permit holders. Please see further information on Customer Parking for details.
