These are available to suit all levels of ability, providing individuals and groups with the opportunity to participate in a range of recreational exercise, dance and sporting activities.

Few university sports grounds can match the number of quality outdoor sports facilities at the University of Liverpool. At our Wyncote Sports Ground we have:

  • 10 senior football and four rugby pitches

In the heart of the Snowdonia National Park in the village of Deiniolen, near Llanberis, our Outdoor Activity Base offers basic accommodation for up to 18 people in two dormitories. It’s perfect for a team building trip or outdoor expedition around this beautiful part of North Wales. It is available for booking on a first come, first served basis, throughout the year.

Value

At Sport Liverpool we offer so much more than just flexible, competitive membership fees. We tailor our facilities, classes, advice and services to our members, so whether joining as part of a team, a class, or simply meeting your own fitness goals we can offer you real support.

Wellbeing

We understand that looking after your fitness can not only help you look good, but make you feel great too. Feeling fit and healthy can help with managing the stresses and strains of everyday life, and lead to improved performance at work, or even better academic results. So our approach to wellbeing is not just about sport, it’s about helping you develop a mind-set, a real work life balance that enables you to get to where you want to be.

Community

Sport is and should be fun, whether you are taking part or spectating. As well as offering you the chance to join in and compete at all levels, our Athletics Union also means you can really get behind team Liverpool too. There’s a real community feel to our facilities and lots of opportunities to socialise and make new friends.
