Our Facilities

Since 2005 we have invested £5.6 million in our sports facilities:

  • £500,000 in sports pitch improvements and equipment
  • £750,000 in third generation sports pitch
  • £40,000 in two outdoor tennis courts
  • £1.2 million refurbishment of our Buxton Sports Hall
  • £3.2 million Kirtley Refurbishment and extension that includes a new gym facility, sports science laboratory and dance studio

We've developed a wide range of indoor and outdoor facilities, including a state of the art fitness suite. Our facilities are used by students and staff alike, and we support our community partners by allowing access when available, particularly during non-term time.

The planned and existing indoor facilities provide for most sports. The all-weather facilities including tennis courts and synthetic 3G pitch provide training and playing facilities for our Football, American football and Hockey clubs as well as housing the Derby County Development Centre, Derby County Ladies FC and a range of junior community clubs.
