Sport
Students at St John’s enjoy playing a diverse range of sports within College and for the University. We are the current Cuppers champions in Men's Soccer and Netball, and our Boatclub is thriving. Many of the College’s sports facilities are of a professional standard. Recently, the Sports Ground on Woodstock Road has been enhanced by the expansion of the Sports Pavilion, and students now have access to brand new changing facilities and a bigger bar and post-match socialising area. Plus a new gym is being installed in Kendrew Quadrangle.
Blues Squad Grants are available to pay for the costs associated with University level sports participation in blues sports. College sport teams receive support from the Amalgamated Trust Funds. The Sports Officer, Tutorial Fellow Professor Zoltán Molnár, organises regular meetings of sports team captains, other Fellows and staff to discuss the provision of facilities and other matters related to sports.
