4. UNIVERSITY SPORTS SERVICE

Introduction

This service provides the chance to complement academic activity by doing physical activities in your free time. Among other goals, it aims to: promote, encourage and organize sports activities and training between all members of the university community, contributing to the individual’s well-rounded education through the values favoured by physical activity.

Generally speaking, this university’s sports activities program is divided into two great blocks: on the one hand, competitions (the Rector Trophy); and on the other hand, recreation, training and fitness. Soccer, basketball, tennis, badminton, squash, archery, judo, track and field, fitness, skiing, golf, fencing, aerobics and fishing are only a few of the countless activities you can do at our University. There is also the opportunity to get the UCLM Sports Card, with interesting advantages for students.

If you wish to participate in any of these activities or do sport on a regular basis, you will need to get the university Sports Card. This will give you a number of benefits such as:

Unlimited and free use of the university sports facilities.
Free registration for individual sports in the Chancellor´s Trophy and for those group sports in which the whole team has a card.
Substantial discounts on prices for all recreational activities offered.
The possibility of using municipal facilities at fixed prices.
Discounts on sports supplies at a number of local establishments

Competitive Activities

The competitions range from internal par excellence in each campus, the Rector Trophy, passing through the various intercampus competitions which allow a constant relationship among the sportsman, and even the participation in different Spanish University Championships organised by the Sports Council and the participation in various sports disciplines which make up the Universities of the Levante Group.

Competitive activities are supplemented by the Social Tournament of five-a-side Football (for teaching and research staff and administration and service staff), the traditional Fishing Competition and the increasingly popular Golf Trophy.

Intercampus Phases

During the month of March the corresponding intercampus phases will be played to choose the representatives of the UCLM in the individual disciplines included within the Spanish University Championships. The winners of the Rector Trophy of each campus will be admitted and will be appropriately published according to the rates of participation in the campuses.

Important:

In order to take part in any activity organized by the Sports Service in the University of Castilla-La Mancha, it is absolutely necessary that you are a member of the university community, being able to accredit this at the time of enrollment via a photocopy of the supporting documents together with the enrollment form. All participants who haven’t paid the corresponding amount to the School Insurance when enrolling or if they are over 28 years old should have their own medical insurance which covers the participation in any physical activity.
