University Sports Center

We want you to be healthy and fit, thus we are glad to inform you about the possibilities to do sports in Leiden. The main place to consider is the University Sports Center which has a lot to offer: sports hall, gym halls, fitness rooms, sports fields (rugby, hockey, football), tennis courts, fencing/wushu halls, dojo, rowing and beach volleyball fields..

You are free to come for one day or subscibe for the entire year (the longer, the cheaper). You have the possibility to rent one of the rooms for your own sports session or come for regular activities and games. But for all this - you need to have a valid sports card (fortunately the rates are quite affordable - check here for exact prices).

There are also two swimming-pools that are "part of the deal"! Some activities, though, will require a small additional fee, so always check for yourself.

The main center is located just outside Leiden, but there is also a smaller gym just in the center - Plex-fit in in the student actvity center Plexus (Kaiserstraat).

Much more info online on the website http://www.services-facilities.leiden.edu/sport/

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Sports center as they are very international-student-friendly and will be glad to help you. Otherwise ISN-R is also always here to hear your ideas and suggestions.

ENJOY SPORTS!
