Sports Facilities

From competitive training to leisure activities, Royal Navy sports facilities are open to all active service members, families, veterans, and defence civil service employees in cities, naval bases, and ships across the UK.

Ship-to-shore facilities

Each one of our Navy sports facilities is fully equipped to help you achieve your goals. Whether it’s training for competition, enjoying your favourite sport, or prioritising family well-being, our expert staff and top-class equipment are on hand to support and keep you moving.

You’ll find our sports facilities in and near Royal Navy bases, barracks, training sites, and air stations. No matter where you are, you’ll have access to the same quality and standard of facilities. Specialist sports like tennis, swimming, and equestrian sport will have dedicated facilities at sites around the UK.

Active service families, veterans and their families, and civil servants and contractors working in the Ministry of Defence can also access select sports facilities in the UK with recreational and visitor passes.

Some Royal Navy sports facilities are also open and available to rent and hire for local schools and clubs.
