Yep the leisure center has loads of stuff on, and there's a gym too. Plus the uni has loads of sports clubs you can join too.

You call that sporty!? Join the rugby team, do a proper sport, work up a sweat. Now drop to the floor and give me 10! :biggrin:

j/k!

Umm, this is all the permanent sports: http://www.kusu.net/DisplayPage.asp?pageid=4033

Then there are people that come in time to time and do other things! I think you maybe pushing it if you want Yoga and Pilates tho...

I play sunday league football.

I didnt really explain my question well, what i wanted to know was if they were difficult to join, like with paperwork, insurance..

Don't worry, i know how you feel, i think! I busted my knee playing rugby so i can't play Rubgy again, nor football, running, any kind of jarring motion really! So i do Sailing, Skiing (altho shouldn't!) and swimming mostly, the three 'S's! Do brisk walking as well when i can and my knee is behaving!

Its so gay having a dodgy knee, know how you feel!

as long as we have the time and the mood to do sports... am in a battle to regain fitness. i dont want to be the slightly over-wheight gay guy at uni. i want to be the almost-perfect body-no one knows about him, he might be bi- at uni:P

Basically if you're interested in one of the sports teams go to the AU Freshers Fair on the Sunday, Monday or Tuesday of Freshers week. All the teams have a tabke there were you can see what they get up to, meet current players and sign up.

To actually join a team you have to pay approx £12 to join the AU and then whatever the club you join costs (usually about £20). All the teams differ with regards to when you pay. Some say you have to pay to join straight away whilst others allow you 1/2 sessions to see whether you really do want to join the club because lots of people want to try out a few sports and see whats best for them.

The basic rule is that you can't play for the uni unless you are an AU member and a paid up member of the club.
