Excursions

Tübingen University Sports offers numerous excursions for different levels of ability and with different content orientations in the sports of alpine skiing, kayaking, rowing and climbing.

In addition to learning about the sport and experiencing nature and physical and mental challenges, the excursions are primarily characterized by solidarity-based action on the part of the course participants. They create the opportunity to try out new behaviors and to assess their importance (development of personal initiative, spontaneity, creativity, building of self-confidence and self-esteem, conditional and coordinative elements, sensitization for dealing with the body, experience of performance, willpower, borderline experience, expansion, self-confidence and much more). A responsible handling of nature is essential and self-evident.

Further excursions are offered by the Tübingen University Sports Center and its partner facilities in the sports of surfing, hang gliding, surfing, paragliding, sailing and kiting. This is a good opportunity to get to know students from other university institutions in addition to the sport.

Teachers - Target groups

All excursions of the Tübingen University Sports Center are conducted methodically and goal-oriented by qualified teaching staff, who are further qualified through regular advanced training. They are oriented towards the following defined performance levels: "beginner/beginner", "advanced", "expert" and "expert" on the basis of which different partial competencies are taught that build on each other in order to be able to optimally cope with the respective situation. Based on competencies and learning objectives, suitable exercises are selected so that fun, experience, safety and sporting success are guaranteed for all.

Both the venues and the accommodations of our excursions are regularly checked in order to offer permanently high quality.
