HARTPURY: Sporting opportunities for all

Believe it or not, some of our biggest sporting achievers at Hartpury do not start out in our first team squads. Take England Rugby flyer Jonny May and Wales’ winger Alex Cuthbert, who both worked their way up from the lower teams into the senior set-up to international stardom! Our impressive league and cup achievements across all sports are testament to the strength in depth we have in our playing squads at Hartpury, both men’s and women’s. The players across all the squads work incredibly hard to push themselves and they enjoy playing together in a Hartpury shirt. The development teams are an extremely important part of our programme and we are focused on improving individuals across all of our squads. When students arrive at Hartpury, it is only the start of their journey. We encourage everyone to take advantage of all the first class resources and support on offer so they find themselves in the best position to keep moving forward.

And sport at Hartpury can be just for fun too! You don’t have to be playing at the highest level or have aspirations to make our senior squads to play sport and get active at Hartpury. There’s rugby and football at recreational level as well as opportunities to play golf, netball, badminton, basketball, hockey, volleyball and many more! There are often around 20 sports teams representing Hartpury competing on Wednesday afternoons. All students benefit from our exceptional sports facilities, with access to our cardio gym and our six grass and two 3G pitches. We offer a packed programme of fitness and fun activities to help boost our students’ wellbeing too!
