Conditions of Participation
Preamble
The University Sports Center (Hochschulsport, hereafter referred to as HSP) is a cross-sectional task of the University of Tübingen and constitutes a key feature in its endeavour for excellence. The HSP is essentially aimed to cater to the needs of all students and university staff members. It sees itself as an educational and service institution of the University of Tübingen and it is recognized for an array of comprehensive, diverse and tailor-made sports courses and activities. Sport and exercise are regarded as important measures for the preservation and improvement of one’s personal health, fitness and well-being, as well as for one’s personal development.
The HSP constitutes an indispensable part of university social life. The HSP practice-oriented courses aim at motivating the students and staff members to regularly work out, at equipping them with a wide set of social skills and at encouraging them to engage in volunteer work.
Furthermore, the HSP is responsible for the organisation and supervision of competitive sporting contests at the University of Tübingen. Besides the promotion of healthy competition, such events also encourage the students’ identification with their university and facilitate the communication between students of different academic institutions.
General requirements for participation in the HSP sports courses and activities
All students and staff members of the university and the university clinic are granted to participate in the courses and activities offered by the HSP. When the capacity of the courses and activities allows it, guest participants (non-university members) can be admitted as well.
