Primary Location
Winchester College Sports centre
Kingsgate Road
Winchester
SO23 9PG
(For Sat Nav directions please use SO23 9PW)
Sub Club Grappling is fortunate to train in two permanent dojos. As a result, we avoid the hassle of setting up and packing away mats. We simply turn up, train, and go.
Our main home is the Winchester College Sports Centre. All structured classes take place in the dojo, which features a 12m x 12m tatami mat area laid over a sprung floor—ideal for safe and effective training.
Accessing the building
The Winchester College Sports Centre is a newly built building and the main entrance is signposted giving access via large glass doors which enters the main reception. A member of the College staff will greet you at the reception and direct you to the changing rooms that we are to use that session. The dojo is located on the floor above the reception area.
Parking and Sat Nav directions
The car park is on site and can be accessed via Norman Road, St Cross, Winchester, SO23 9PW – Please use this post code if you are using Sat Nav. The car park facility on site must not be abused by leaving your car in situ whilst they pursue other points of interest in Winchester before or after training.
Alternative parking solutions
Winchester College is conveniently located near the city centre. Most nearby residential roads require a permit from Monday to Saturday, between 8am and 6pm. However, after 6pm, parking becomes unrestricted in zoned bays and on single yellow lines.
For Saturday classes (10am–12noon), parking may require a short walk. Therefore, it’s a good idea to allow extra time to find a space and get to class on time. Streets offering two-hour free parking nearby include Edgar Road, Christchurch Road, Beaufort Road, Ranelagh Road, and Lansdowne Avenue. (Always check street signs before leaving your car).

Our secondary home is the Winchester Lido Sports Association and Sub Club Open Mat is held in the dojo which has a 10 metre by 6 metre mat area laid with tatami style mats.
Accessing the building
The Lido is a large, white-rendered building located behind a brick and flint wall. To access the building, use the steps on the right-hand side. At the door, you’ll find an entrance panel with two buttons.
If the open mat is in the permanent dojo, press the top button labeled ‘dojo’. The dojo is up the stairs and to the right. Alternatively, if the open mat is in the main sports hall, enter through the central double doors of the building.
