“Get ready for an exhilarating start to the new season of the VC Cup! As we kick off this sporting extravaganza, remember that participating isn’t just about winning; it’s embracing the benefits of physical activity not only for your health but also your mental health. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to meet colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere, engage in fun activities and build stronger bonds. Plus, I know our Sports Development Team will be excited to have you on board and they can’t wait to see your enthusiasm and talent on the field. Let’s make fitness, camaraderie and fun a part of our work culture.”

What is the Vice Chancellor’s Cup?
For anyone who hasn’t heard of the Vice Chancellor’s Cup, this is an annual inter-departmental competition, for all University of Kent staff, which encompasses a series of mini-tournaments, from walking netball, bench ball and rounders, to board games and garden games. All departments/individuals and abilities are welcome. Departmental teams are encouraged to participate in each event. The events are typically around one hour long and mostly take place during lunch hours. To find out more about the VC’s Cup, the events played and the results of the last tournament, check out the VC’s Cup Highlights and results page on our website.
In line with Kent Sport’s strategy, the VC’s Cup aims to help change behaviours and attitudes towards physical activity, allowing staff to lead active, healthy, and enriched lives whilst working at Kent.
