St Catharine's is proud to maintain a range of sports facilities to benefit our community – some of the best of any Cambridge College. These exist primarily so that our students can realise as much as possible of their personal potential while studying at the College.
All facilities are available to students, staff and Fellows of St Catharine's for no additional charge. These facilities are heavily used and appreciated by all members of the College and, through arrangement, by other teams outside the University. Our sports field is also used by Christ's College and Downing College.
