Welcome to UEA snowsports, where throughout the year we run taster sessions, lessons, and open training in both race and freestyle. Snowsports is the perfect sport to join if you want to meet new people, challenge yourself or try a new sport. Whether you have never skied/snowboarded before or race in competitions, there is something for everyone. We are also organising the best trip for 2025 which you will not want to miss out on!

Come along to the sports fair on the 18th September 2024, where we will be there to answer any questions you may have. We are so excited to meet you! We will also be running taster sessions in the first few weeks of term, so that you can try the sport out.

The Real Cost of Sport
The 'Real Cost of Sport' initiative, a project reviewed and rebranded by the Students' Union in partnership with uea+sport, aims to provide prospective members with a comprehensive overview of the potential costs of joining their chosen sports club. This year, I have worked closely with the clubs to ensure these tables are as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
This guide is intended to serve as a general reference. The compulsory cost includes the uea+sport membership fee of £55, which is a one-time payment that covers membership across all clubs.
When considering additional expenses, it is important to note that some clubs may not have any extra costs, while others might incur additional fees. These costs often depend on the level of competitiveness within the sport; recreational or social participation is generally less expensive. Additionally, some equipment, such as shoes or gum shields, may be used across multiple sports, potentially reducing overall expenses.
For any specific questions or further information about a particular club, please contact the club directly or contact us at union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk for more details about the project.
All the best,
Olivia Hunt
