"It was my first time and I wasn’t sure about how valuable the sessions would be but the coach was brilliant. As an amateur it’s always a little scary playing for the first time but the training was designed to help everyone no matter how good they were"
Adam Magson, 1st year Sports and Exercise Studies Student on Pay as you Play Golf
This year Team Derby are working in conjunction with a number of National Governing Bodies to produce Pay as you Play sessions for Students who want to give a new or old sport a try.

The sessions are designed to cater for all abilities so all you have to do is turn up, pay and play!
