OTHER FACILITIES
In the past three years Roehampton has opened three new sports facilities on campus. We have introduced a new indoor sports hall, a new hard court netball area and a new fitness suite/gym. In September 2008 we also opened a new outdoor Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) which includes two netball courts / two tennis courts / five-a-side football pitch and basketball practice areas.
For our sports teams we hire out a number of the best facilities in the local area which include:
The Bank of England Sports Centre – we use this for our first teams in football and rugby and are some of the best pitches you can find in the south west of London.
The National Tennis Centre – This facility the headquarters of British Tennis has recently opened just behind the university campus next to the bank of England. This is a state of the art tennis facility and is home to the countries top tennis players. We will be practicing here and our men’s first team will be using it for their home matches. We also use the Wimbledon Park tennis courts next to the All England club for our other tennis matches.
Roehampton Sports and Fitness Centre – has just been refurbished. Wee use this facility for Badminton and Basketball matches and training as well as Cheerleading practices.
Harlequins RFC Training Ground – Our two rugby teams will be training at the famous Harlequins Rugby Football Club training ground which is about a mile from the university. This is floodlit and will enable our teams to train hard during the winter months.
In the next few years Roehampton University is looking to increase its facilities both on and off campus. There are plans for some very exciting developments which will help Roehampton to realise it’s ambition in becoming the best sporting universities in London. Watch this space for more exciting developments over the coming year.
