Sports facilities for all others (individuals)
Who?
Non-students/staff members of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel may also use the sports infrastructure on this campus. With a one-time purchase of a club card (5 €), they can, among other thing:
- Participate in the activities in our non resident sport program
- Participate in the sport/fitness classes organized by the university
- make use of the swimming pool, the fitness centre and
the athletics track.
Regardless of the purchase of access through a club card,
outsiders are not insured for sports accidents. We therefore
recommend personal insurance for sports!
