CARDIO-VASCULAR AND
WEIGHTS TRAINING STUDIO
The gym, which plays a crucial role in
developing the major sports through Win Coll’s
ever expanding off-season training programmes
and strength and conditioning work, is simply
too small to cope with demand.
Ask any of the 100 or so boys who try to use
it on a Tuesday afternoon and they will tell you
that, whilst the gym equipment is fantastic, you
need to queue and step over people to use it.
6 SQUASH COURTS
The School’s four existing squash courts are
in such high demand that boys typically end
up playing doubles on a single court just so
that they can get a game.
We will therefore be increasing the number
of squash courts to six, with first floor viewing
and a coaching area.
A larger gym will alleviate this pressure and
enable boys to train effectively, reducing the
risk of injury, improving recovery times and
enhancing their overall performance in a
variety of the major and minor sports.

6 FIVES COURTS
Our four Winchester fives courts are currently
located in the centre of campus, remote from
the rest of the PEC.
As well as moving these into the Sports Centre,
which will provide a safer and more secure
environment for the boys, we will be adding two
new rugby fives courts, reflecting the popularity
of this minor sport.
