Playing sport doesn't have to mean a big, long-term commitment, we run regular Play for Fun sessions that focus on making sport sociable, inclusive and enjoyable.
There's no requirement to join a club, all sessions must be booked in advance on the NTU Sport App.
See the full Play for Fun timetable
Our Play for Fun sessions run at the same time each week.
