What is Rock Up & Play?

Rock Up & Play is exactly what is sounds like: rock up to one of our 60+ hours of free sports sessions ready to have fun, blow off some steam, and even try something new.

Rock Up & Play takes all the advantages of a sociable sports session but skips the fuss of fees and time-commitments. These sessions aren’t just a free-for-all in an open court or pitch, they’re organised and run in conjunction with a fabulous team of volunteers (also known as Activators). Activators are there to help you feel welcome and will take the lead on activities, helping you to learn new skills and gain confidence in your chosen sport. So, join in whether solo or as a group and get playing!

What sports are included in Rock Up & Play?

Our Rock Up & Play schedule includes a superb range of indoor and outdoor sports for every ability including women’s only sessions. Play football or netball, or other ball sports such as dodgeball and wheelchair basketball. Why not pick up a sport you haven’t tried in a while like tennis or badminton, or perhaps something completely new to you such as trampolining or Muay Thai?

Check out the full range of fun, beginner-friendly sports sessions and be sure to book on the Warwick Sport website or through the Warwick Sport app.
