Introducing ALL Active!
Social and coached sports for all abilities
ALL Active programme | Kent Sport
ALL abilities. ALL welcome.
ALL Active is the umbrella programme for our social sports, coached sports, and over 55s social sessions at the University of Kent.
Every session is non-competitive and designed for people of all ability levels to develop new skills in different sports.
The turn-up-and-play recreational sessions are ideal for anyone that wants to try new activities, meet new people, and discover a new passion.
All equipment is provided so you just need to book your session and turn up ready to play!

Member story
Where I once lacked the energy to socialise or enjoy the outdoors, I am now actively training to run my first half-marathon, and have a much more active social life, while my academic performance has even increased during the last year.

ALL Active participant
