University sports back in the hall from October 1

After the first very positive résumé from the outdoor sports offerings and the reopening of UNIfit, sports enthusiasts can now once again find a General University Sports offering indoors.

The specific concepts developed by the exercise instructors on the basis of the comprehensive hygiene concept of university sports could be implemented in the outdoor courses, so that the prescribed distance and hygiene regulations were always observed.

The program in the sports halls mainly comprises the exercise fields "Ball Sports and Games" and "Fit and Healthy". The General University Sports Department will expand the offering to include courses such as floorball, school sports games, soccer, badminton, soccer and also spinning. Additional attendance offerings for employees, such as the moving lunch breaks or workplace health promotion, will be offered in the Room for Movement at Holländischer Platz, and sports operations will also be resumed at the Witzenhausen site with badminton and yoga.

The hygiene concepts drawn up by the exercise instructors for the respective courses also apply indoors. Their most important rules:

• prior registration is mandatory for participation in a course,
• the specified minimum distance must always be observed,
• the cough and sneeze etiquette must be observed, and
• there is an MNS obligation when entering and leaving the sports facility.

Around the Aueparkhalle, sports enthusiasts can already find a small, yet very diverse range of courses since August. From Jumping Fitness to Roundnet, Belly Legs Po, Hatha Yoga, QiGong, Dancehall, Zumba to Martial Arts and Quidditch, there is something for every athlete. The volleyball players are again using the beach courts diligently and the running, mountain biking and racing bike meeting may also take place again. The boathouse on the Auedamm has also been busy since mid-August. There, not only experienced water sports enthusiasts but also beginners will find a range of offers in the areas of rowing, kayaking and stand-up paddling.

In addition to the indoor offerings, university sports will also continue to develop the outdoor courses as well as the digital program #UniKasselVersitätStaysFit in order to reach as many university members as possible. Registration for the program in the period of October will start from 29.09.2020 at 10.00 am. More info and the overview of the entire program is available here:
