Life at the university of cambridge sports centre
The University of Cambridge Sports Centre is the University of Cambridge's main sporting facility.
Contents
History
The University of Cambridge Sports Centre opened in West Cambridge in August 2013. The Physical Education Department moved its Offices from Fenner's in Gresham Road to the new Centre. It was considered by many to be a long-overdue addition to the University.
Facilities
The Sports Centre has a 37m x 34m Sports Hall with line markings for basketball, korfball, volleyball, 5-A-Side Football, badminton and netball. It also has tiered seating for up to 400 spectators.
The Fitness, Strength and Conditioning Suite is made up of a Fitness Suite containing cardiovascular machines such as treadmills, ski ergs and Jacobs Ladders, and a Strength and Conditioning Room with 8 Olympic lifting platforms and a 2-lane plyometric track.
There is a multi-purpose room for floor-based sports and classes such as fencing, martial arts, yoga and Zumba, and there are Eton and Rugby Fives courts.
There are also 5 glass backed squash courts and a Team Training used by many University Sports Clubs.
Future Developments
Future phases of development at the Sports Centre will hopefully include indoor and outdoor tennis courts and a swimming pool.
