Our sport facilities
College's four hectares of playing fields are situated in South Hagley Park. Known as the Christ's College Cricket Ground, this outstanding complex comprises two rugby fields, three football fields (in Terms 2 and 3), eight turf cricket pitches and a superb grass net training facility for cricket (in Terms 1 and 4).
On campus, College has a new Upper West facility housing two full-sized basketball courts, teaching spaces, and a strength and conditioning area. The gym space will also
be used for badminton, table tennis, and volleyball. Street shoes may not be worn on the gymnasium floor under any circumstances. Do not take food or drink into the gymnasium.
College has another playing field on its main site, called Upper. In summer, Upper is used as a track and field facility, and in winter, it becomes a rugby field. Upper also has an all-weather astro turf area for tennis, hockey and cricket.
The Gym, and adjacent rooms, are used for the many and varied sporting competitions at interhouse and inter-school level, including table tennis, basketball, volleyball, and badminton. The gym complex includes a strength and conditioning area.
At Kerr's Reach, College has its own rowing shed from which the rowing club operates over the summer terms and a rowing erg room at Cranmer.
College also has a five-lane 25m heated indoor swimming pool. It is an excellent facility for all forms of aquatic sports, including swimming, water polo, canoe polo, and physical education classes.
All other facilities required for the school sports programme are sourced from within the community.
