High performance

The University of Waikato supports student-athletes who need help balancing study and sporting commitments.

Having trouble maintaining this balance?

• If an upcoming event might affect your study, or you need advice regarding course selection or study plans, contact the Student-Athlete Support Hub (SASH) at sash@waikato.ac.nz
• In some circumstances, you can also make arrangements to sit examinations at another time or at another location.
• And don't forget about the general student support services available to everyone studying at Waikato.

A range of specialist services including strength and conditioning programmes, injury prevention, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and nutritional support are available at UniRec, the University of Waikato’s on-campus fitness centre. Find out more information about the services on offer at UniRec.

Students, staff and UniRec members pay only a $15 surcharge at Performance Plus Physiotherapy at UniRec.

For specialist sports testing, contact the Avantidrome or the University of Waikato Adams Centre (Tauranga).

The University of Waikato celebrates the success of athletes through the annual University of Waikato Blues Awards. The ceremony takes place in October each year and is a major event on the University social calendar.
