Club Sporty
What are the benefits of joining Club Sporty?
Welcome to Aberystwyth University Sports Centre! Whilst we all know you have come to learn, taking time out to let off steam, make new friends and try new things, is an important part of University life. We hope that you enjoy your time here at Aber - please call in for a chat or email us with your queries on sports@aber.ac.uk . You can even find us on Facebook
Club Sporty is for all Aber Students. It supports the sports clubs as well as providing you with a range of facilities and activities for you to enjoy.
So, if you are a keen sports person, you will need your Sporty Card to join any of the 50 or so clubs that the University run - whether for general kick-arounds, or to take part in local and national competitions (Aber is part of British Universities & Colleges Sports Association (BUCS)).
Club Sporty also gets you great discounts for when you use the Sports Centre. For example, a swim costs £2.90, but only £1 with Club Sporty and you can use the all weather pitch, badminton courts, basketball court, squash courts (pay for lights), dance studio, playing fields, cricket nets and running track for free. We have a huge range of things for you to do - whether you like the gym, free weights, exercise classes , spin or the pool
However, students are allowed to come and use the Sports Centre without a Sporty Card - the Sporty Card just saves you cash.
How do I join?
Well, you can download the application form here,Club Sporty Application Form 2012 or pick one up at the Sports Centre, or come along to Fresher's Fayre during the first week of term - Sports Day is on Tuesday 25th September, so you will need your Sporty Card to join any of the clubs, or email sports@aber.ac.uk and we will send you one!
To make things a bit easier, we have now got an online payment system - https://payments.bis.aber.ac.uk/club_sporty/en/index.php
if you wish to pay for your membership, any Gold Cards or inductions. The system will allow you to select and pay for the items and you will then get an email confirming your order. You do not have to complete an application form for this. Your details will then be held on your Aber Card. However, if you do wish a plastic Sporty Card to show for joining Clubs etc, then please make sure that you drop off one passport photo to the Sports Centre when you get here - making sure that your name and email is clearly printed on the back. You can print off your email if you want and bring it along to the Sports Centre when you get here. We will email you back with your Sporty Card number so that you can then join any of the Sports Clubs!
If you don't want to use the online system, please complete your application form and return it to the Sports Centre with you cheque or pay over the phone by card - 01970 621500.
