Get Active With Us

We are Northumbria Sport, the sport and activity arm of Northumbria University, We cater for all, from beginners looking to try a new sport to student athletes seeking a competitive edge. 

Our main home is Sport Central, a multi-million-pound centre based right in the centre of the City Campus. 

What can I find here? 

Not too far out from the city centre is our Coach Lane Sports Ground, home to our outdoor pitches where the likes of rugby, football and lacrosse take place. In addition, there is a sports hall and S&C suite. The main floodlit grass pitch with 176 seats has been converted to an all-weather multisport 3G. The high-quality, UK manufactured pitch was designed and has been constructed and installed by SIS Pitches. We're also proud to announce a new hockey pitch will be installed for September 2023! 

We want to get as many Northumbria students as active as possible. Whether that’s playing the sport you adore, trying a new one, or just using the gym, we've got you covered.
