University of Nottingham announces first Tri-Campus Games

PA 120/09 Sport at The University of Nottingham is about dedication, commitment, open-access and team spirit - not geography. So whether students are playing basketball on the courts at Ningbo, swimming in the Semenyih pool, or playing squash at one of the three University Sports Centres in the UK, they're all part of Team Nottingham. Now athletes from across all campuses will meet this summer to compete in the first University of Nottingham Tri-Campus Games. Students from the UK, Malaysia and China campuses will compete in 16 events including basketball, squash, badminton and futsal - the FIFA-approved form of five-a-side football for which Nottingham is an FA Focus University. The founding Games will be hosted on University Park with the possibility of future events in China and Malaysia. The Games will run from June 20-27, with more than 180 competitors taking part. All teams will stay at Derby Hall of Residence on University Park, giving our international visitors the chance to experience the traditional aspects of life at one of the Nottingham campuses, as well as experiencing a multi-sport 'Athletes Village' environment.
