The Sports Training Village, opened in two phases in 2003 and 2004, is at the heart of Team Bath’s £30 million cluster of sports facilities. The award-winning building is based on the main University of Bath campus at Claverton Down overlooking the World Heritage city of Bath. It is designed to provide cutting-edge facilities for recreational and performance sportsmen and women alike.

The main Sports Hall – which is a high-ceilinged and well-lit 12 badminton court size - has a sprung wood floor and can be adapted for netball, volleyball, basketball, indoor football, fencing, badminton and many more sports. It also has the capacity to hold spectator events, conferences and exhibitions as we can divide the hall into three or more distinct spaces.

Opposite the main multi-purpose Sports Hall there is an indoor eight-court tennis hall which was funded in partnership with the University of Bath by the Lawn Tennis Association, playing host to a national academy. A judo dojo completes the front sector of the Sports Training Village. This unique dojo is based on traditional designs and features a world-class tatami (mats area) as well as special drying systems for the tatami and judo suits.

To the rear of the Sports Training Village there is a 140m indoor athletics straight with connecting long and triple jump pits, in addition to one of the few 50m swimming pools in the country.  Finally, for those seeking something different, the Sports Training Village has its own bobsleigh and bob-skeleton push-start track. This is designed to simulate the start section of a full-sized track for these winter sports.
