At the George Leach Centre, we offer a variety of drop-in sports activities, such as badminton, basketball, soccer, cricket, and volleyball, open to anyone with a GLC membership or day pass. Drop-in play is scheduled based on staffing & playing surface availability, as well as the demand for specific programs. Currently, there is no need for pre-registration, but we do keep track of attendance as participants.

Any player who uses profane language, makes verbal threats or demeaning remarks directed at any player, team captain, AU staff, or engages in any act of violence (including attempted violence) will be immediately ejected from the game(s) and suspended from the league immediately.
