Sports halls
We have two large sports halls, the John Ashby Sports Hall and the Pitsford Sports Hall, both located at our Moulton campus.
Our sports halls are home to basketball academy fixtures, weekly training sessions and a wide range of practical lessons. They’re also equipped with cricket nets, making them an important training space during the winter months.
Students use the halls for activities such as volleyball, badminton, fitness drills and team-based coaching sessions. Whether you’re working towards a qualification or training with one of our academies, this is a central hub for indoor performance.
Holcot gym
Our on-site gym is fitted with a wide range of commercial fitness equipment including resistance machines, free weights, treadmills and rowing machines. It’s designed to give sports, fitness and personal training students hands on experience using the same equipment found in public gyms.
The gym is also used by academy athletes for rehabilitation, often working with physiotherapists to complete conditioning and functional recovery sessions.
Fitness studio
Our dedicated fitness studio sits beside the gym and supports warm ups, conditioning work and instructor training. The space is highly flexible and is used for circuit training, coaching practice and group fitness sessions.
Outdoor facilities
Our campus has a wide range of outdoor playing areas used for lessons, training and matches throughout the week. These include:
- Three astro turf pitches
- Two rugby pitches
- Multiple football pitches
- A hard court training area
These spaces support both academic sessions and our competitive Sports Academies, with fixtures hosted on campus against colleges from across the UK.
Our facilities are also used by the likes of Northampton Saints, Northampton Town FC, county rugby squads and visiting international teams, so you can be sure they’re up to the highest standards.
Athletics track
Our on site athletics track is used by students studying fitness, performance and testing units. It’s also used for enterprise events, including primary school sports days that our learners help deliver - giving real coaching and leadership experience in a lively, community environment.
Strength and conditioning gym
This dedicated gym supports more advanced, performance based training. With Olympic lifting platforms and specialist S&C equipment, it is designed to develop speed, strength and power.
Academy athletes – including football, rugby, basketball, cricket and netball – train here several times a week with our full time Strength & Conditioning Coach. Personal training and fitness students also use this space to develop coaching, instructing and analysis skills.
Sports Massage and Therapy Suite
The Sports Massage Suite is a professional learning environment where you’ll develop therapy and treatment skills. It supports:
- Level 3 and Level 4 sports massage qualifications
- Sports therapy sessions for higher level learners
- Injury clinics for academy athletes
Students use this space to carry out assessments, practise treatment techniques and gain experience delivering real massage and injury management support.
Sports Academies
Alongside your studies, you can join one of our competitive academies in football, rugby, basketball, cricket or netball. You’ll train at least three times a week with qualified coaches and benefit from access to S&C, physiotherapy support and performance pathways.
Why these facilities make a difference
Our sport facilities are designed to support every part of your development – from theory and practical learning to athletic training and rehabilitation. You’ll be learning in a professional, exciting environment where coaches, therapists, scientists and fitness trainers work side by side.
By the time you leave Moulton College, you’ll have the experience, confidence and skills needed to progress into sport, fitness, coaching, performance or higher level study – all built in the very environment where you trained.
