Free Play @ UWA

Kick-start your life at university with a week of free activities
At the University of Western Australia, sport plays a central role in the lives of students and promotes a healthy campus culture. Whether you’re training for a gold medal or looking for a spin, dance or yoga class, UWA Sport offers programs and membership options to suit everyone. 

Come see what all the fuss is about - try all the best of what’s on offer this O-Week with six days of Free Play @ UWA. 

Take time out of your busy schedule with a lunch-time swim, or have a go at free Rise and Shine Yoga; the choice is up to you. You can grab a group of mates and test out your skills in squash or basketball on one of our many courts with free indoor and outdoor court hire across the week.

What's on Offer

There are a tonne of free sessions available across the week, from group fitness classes to free court hire, and our pop-up Indigenous Games activities. These sessions are open to all UWA Students, from freshers to current and returning students. It's first come first served, so get in early to secure your place!
