Additional sports activities for students
The VUB Sports commission
The sports commission is an association of which all of the members are VUB students and which is headed by an elected chairman. The commission is made up of unaffiliated members as well as representatives of the student associations.
The primary goal of the sports commission is the organisation of student-friendly sports events for and by students.
The sports commission meets in building L and is supported financially by the sports department.
What exactly does the sports commission do? They organise various fun sporting events as well as the interfaculty competitions and they assemble the VUB teams that take part in the interuniversity competitions, along with helping to develop an open and democratic student sports policy.
Enthusiastic unaffiliated members are always welcome in the VUB sports commission!
If you are inspired to play a part in shaping the student sports policy and would like to help to encourage sports participation at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, don’t hesitate to contact the sports department! |
Interfaculty competitions (sports trophy)
The sports trophy is made up of a number of traditional sports competitions in which the various student associations/faculties compete against one another for the highly sought-after challenge cup.
Per competition, the participating groups earn points in the general classification for the sports trophy. The first 10 in the general classification are awarded prize money ranging from 25 to 250 €. Participation can be arranged through the sports praeses (president) for your faculty / student association.
Recreational student sports events
It is important for each student, whether a member of a student association or not, to have the opportunity to take part free of charge in the sporting events held on our campus.
Since not everyone is competitively inclined, the sports commission regularly organises recreational activities as well, generally in a spirit of silly fun and student social bonding.
Interuniversity championships
The Vlaamse Studenten Sport Federatie (VSSF) and the Belgische Universitaire Sportfederatie (BUSF) organise annual championship competitions between the students of the various colleges and universities in Flanders and Wallonia.
