Sports at Girton

Girton, as one of the biggest colleges in Cambridge, has a huge variety of sports. Most people who want to try a new sport, or keep up a moderate level of training and commitment, join one of the many college teams, which compete primarily with other college teams. Sports include the traditional Rugby, Football, Rowing, Cricket, Lacrosse and Netball, as well as many more such as Table Tennis, Squash and Athletics, each catering for a range of abilities and offering subsidised training, regular competitions and a great social life.

If you are an experienced athlete, every sport you can think of is represented at University level, with the opportunity to represent Cambridge against Oxford and winning a prestigious 'Blue'. Similarly, if you  fancy trying a more unusual sport that is run by the University rather than individual colleges, they all run introductory programmes, and Girton has funding for establishing new sports clubs if you think there is something missing.

When you get to Cambridge you'll be inundated with offers to take up new sports and join new teams, and there really is something for everyone. If you have any questions about sports or other societies at Girton, contact the JCR Vice President on eme27@cam.ac.uk
