Sportsmix

The Sportsmix, what's that?

From mid-September until the end of June - with a short break in the winter and spring holidays - you can rely on Sportsmix for your daily or weekly dose of sports and fun. 

During the academic lecture weeks we offer more than 30 sports sessions for over 20 sports* a week. During the past academic year, for example, students could practice the following sports: aikido, athletics, badminton, basketball, bodymix (aerobics), boxing, European sword fighting, karate, kendo, kickboxing, kinbal, floorball (indoor hockey), rugby, table tennis, dance, football, waterpolo, swimming, zumba...

We also offer a number of sports activities during study and exam weeks so that you can keep up your good habits. Research has shown that on average students who are active and stay active perform better in their studies than fellow students who are or do not.

Where and when?

Activities usually take place  after the lectures have ended, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sometimes we also plan activities at lunchtime (noon - 2 pm). 

In Etterbeek

In Etterbeek al the sportsmix activities take place in & around the VUB Sportscomplex ( building L). There we have lots of sportsfacilities (swimming pool, sportshalls, rugby/soccer pitch so we can organize a broad offer of sportsmix activities for our students.  Some activities are in collaboration with sports clubs that rent our facilities and can take place between 16 and 22h. These activities are indicated as "clubsport" in the overview of the mix and in the app.

In Jette

In Jette, we organise a number sports (choice between badminton, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, futsal, ...) every week in the Basic Fit sports halls on campus. There is also one indoor football competition moment per week and we offer kickboxing and yoga in the combat sports hall as part of the Sportsmix.  Info on sports or to pick up your online purchased sportscard with punch ... welcome at the front desk of the library on campus (in building A).

How join the Sportsmix?

With a sports card that includes a punch card you can switch between the sports in the Mix as much as you like in the academic year. If one sport is not your cup of tea, simply try another. Keen on more than one activity? No problem, there’s no limit to how many activities you can choose. It’s entirely up to you! However, keep in mind that for some sports the number of participants is limited. Reserving in advance and registering at the start of an activity via the VUB Sport app is mandatory (but thankfully also easy).
