Our team is dedicated to supporting sports at all levels by providing high level coaching, creating exceptional student experiences, offering state-of-the-art facilities and hosting superb events. Our collective efforts are aimed at a key objective: to deliver a leisure experience so impactful that it shapes lives and inspires people.

Alongside the University of York and York Commercial Ltd., we provide opportunities that engage, support and inspire our University students, staff, alumni and the wider community of York to improve their all-round personal and mental health, through inclusive sport, physical and wellbeing activities.

At York Sport we aim to improve the health and wellbeing of our students members, staff and wider community through the development and provision of a comprehensive and inclusive sport and active wellbeing offer. We also recognise and value the impact of physical and wellbeing activities on their quality-of-life. The opportunities and activities we offer are inclusive of all circumstances, capabilities and aspirations meaning we inspire our communities to regularly participate.
