Give It A Go Sports is a variety of different sport activities that all students can take part in at Plymouth University, which doesn’t break the bank! Whether ‘sporty’ or not, the sessions welcome all levels of fitness and abilities and offer a wide range of choice from squash coaching and volleyball to futsal and dodgeball.

All GIAG sessions are turn up and play, so all you need to do is arrive to your chosen activity a few minutes before it is due to start, pay the small fee or just book and pay online and get playing straight away! Any one off activities that requires participants to book, will always state to do so on the timetable and any promotional material.

“The Give It A Go sessions have given me the opportunity to get out of my halls of residence and finally get active again. I love the dodgeball session led by the club, which I have now joined and love the social aspect of it now as much as the physical. I cannot recommend highly enough getting involved with all of the Give It A Go session’s, volleyball on a Monday is another favourite of mine” - 1st year Student.

The Give it a Go programme provides plenty of ways to try new activities, meet new people and learn new skills at affordable prices. The flexible Give it a Go programme works on a pay as you go basis and is a great way to discover new hobbies and interests. Some sessions are supported by societies and will provide an insight into what they do.
