Sport Facilities at JCU

by Robin and Tran


In this post, we want to help students learn about all the JCU sport facilities that can be used during their stay at James Cook English Language Centre.


First, we want to talk about the Oval where you can play soccer, basketball and rugby. There are two separate areas, one field for palying Rugby and Soccer, and one court for playing Basketball.The Oval is about 5 mins walk past the Dentistry Building. This sport facility is free. The university students usually play soccer on Wednesday and friday evenings. Why not come and join them for a great game of soccer???











Now let's talk about the gym.
There is only a small gym, where you can train. It is next to the Oval. If you want to train at the gym for a year, you have to pay about Aus$200. But if you are here for a short time, the daily rate is only $2. In the gym, you can use equipment such as dumb-bells, tread-mills, weights, exercise bikes and others.
