Term 1: September to December 2025
Sports Centre Welcome Week - Give It A Go
- Saturday 20 September to Friday 26 September 2025
- Danielle Brown Sports Centre and Roger Bettles Sports Centre
Keeping active is great not only for your body, but for your mind too - and there's no better place to do it than within the campus.
We are offering students a chance to 'try before you buy' and enjoy over a week of free access to make sure we're the right fit for you. The University has two sports centres, each with access to a pool, sauna, and steam room as well as full size gyms. Bring your student card down to either of our receptions, complete a quick health form, and get full centre access completely free of charge.
Sports and Societies Fair
- Tuesday 23 September 2025 and Wednesday 24 September 2025, 11.00am until 4.00pm
- Students' Union Square, Percy Gee Building
We've gathered all our sports teams under one roof, so you can find out more about what we offer as a University. Whether you want to keep up your training in a sport you're passionate about, or want to try something new you've never heard of before, the Sports Fair will have you covered. Plus, talk to our Team Leicester staff members to find out more about how the sporting teams work and how you could even set up your own!
Team Leicester Give It A Go
- Thursday 25 September to Saturday 4 October 2025

With so many sports teams and societies across the University, it can be difficult to narrow down your choice. So why not come down to one of the free Give It A Go sessions and try the ones that you like the sound of? All you need is to bring your student card to access any session for free!
