Sports Sports facilities facilities and clubs Our prowess on the sports field must at least in part be attributed to our fabulous sports facilities. We were the first independent school in the country to introduce a heated indoor swimming pool and indoor sports hall (our ambulacrum). Our modernised campus now hosts thriving sports facilities also used by the wider community, including a golf course, Olympic-sized all-weather pitch, new 37 station fitness centre and indoor tennis dome.

Indoor Facilities

In addition to the traditional team games of rugby, rugby 7s and cricket, Stonyhurst now participates in football, basketball, crosscountry, swimming, athletics and badminton. These sports, together with many others, are offered at a social level too.

Hockey, netball and rounders are the main team games for girls, with teams regularly reaching regional and national HMC finals. There is a wealth of other sports also available, including girls’ football, cross-country, swimming, athletics and badminton.

There are 13 rugby pitches, three football pitches, a golf course, 11 outdoor tennis courts (also used for netball), an Olympic-sized all-weather pitch (used by our hockey players and footballers) as well as our cricket grounds on our 330 acre campus.

A 25 metre swimming pool, 37 station new fitness centre, free-weights gymnasium, two indoor sports halls, dance academy and state-ofthe-art LTC standard indoor two-court tennis dome make up our indoor sports spaces.
