WELCOME TO UEA CLIMBING!

Climbing is the perfect club for making amazing friends, trying a new sport, and challenging yourself!

We are open to any and all abilities! Lots of our members join with zero experience, you will pick it up quicker than you think. :)

We host 4 sessions each week at the Sportspark climbing wall on campus (right opposite the café), using trained belayers!.

COMPLETING YOUR TRAINING

Once you’ve paid your UEA sport membership and climbing club membership, you are required to complete your Sportspark assessment.

This is to make sure you can keep yourself and other safe while using the climbing wall.

The assessment will cost £5 and lasts for 12 months.

The Real Cost of Sport

The 'Real Cost of Sport' initiative, a project reviewed and rebranded by the Students' Union in partnership with uea+sport, aims to provide prospective members with a comprehensive overview of the potential costs of joining their chosen sports club. This year, I have worked closely with the clubs to ensure these tables are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

This guide is intended to serve as a general reference. The compulsory cost includes the uea+sport membership fee of £55, which is a one-time payment that covers membership across all clubs.

When considering additional expenses, it is important to note that some clubs may not have any extra costs, while others might incur additional fees. These costs often depend on the level of competitiveness within the sport; recreational or social participation is generally less expensive. Additionally, some equipment, such as shoes or gum shields, may be used across multiple sports, potentially reducing overall expenses.

For any specific questions or further information about a particular club, please contact the club directly or contact us at union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for more details about the project.

All the best,

Olivia Hunt
