Sports

Sports Centre de Bongerd (SCB) is a meeting place for students and staff of Wageningen University & Research. SCB is for anyone who wants to get active: from beginners to advanced athletes. Exercise for fun and relaxation, work on your vitality and resilience, or push your athletic limits and aim for serious performance.

Sport Centre de Bongerd offers a wide range of sports facilities.  These include opportunities to work out, play badminton, basketball, (beach) volleyball, boxing, diving and much more.

In addition to coaching recreational athletes, Sports Centre de Bongerd also offers coaching to elite athletes. You are eligible for this if you have a top-level athlete status. The elite sports coordinator at Wageningen University & Research will assess whether you meet the criteria for top-level athlete status.

Are you a top -level athlete and would you like to study in Wageningen? If so, you can apply for additional support. To be eligible, you must have top -level athlete status. The elite athlete support at Wageningen University consists of two components: 1. Education and examination facilities and 2. Financial compensation for study delays, up to a maximum of 4 months per academic year and 12 months in total.

If your status entitles you to facilities, you can apply for them via a student counsellor. You can also apply for financial compensation for study delays due to elite sport via a student counsellor.

When coaching top athletes, we work with a balanced schedule based on the Movement Efficiency (M-E) programme. Movement Efficiency is a programme that aims to improve coordination and movement efficiency. The Movement Efficiency training sessions are conducted under the supervision of experienced strength trainer Tijmen van Oostenbrugge.

The Movement Efficiency programme is offered in collaboration with Ton Leenders, strength trainer in elite sport.

In addition to sports facilities, the Sports Centre de Bongerd also has a meeting place. The Pub is the place where you can grab a bite to eat before or after exercising, have a drink with your team or meet other athletes. They have a varied selection of coffee, tea and soft drinks, eleven different beers on tap, and various non-alcoholic beers. On weekdays, they serve healthy and tasty meals from 5.30 p.m. onwards, including delicious (vegetarian) burgers, toasted sandwiches, snacks and smoothies. There is something for everyone, with healthy options always available.

To exercise at Sports Centre de Bongerd, take group lessons or become a member of a student sports association, you need sports rights. These are easy to apply for. Log in and go to <MySCB> and then <My sports rights>. Here you can purchase annual or monthly sports rights online.

In addition to WUR students, students from other universities and PhD students are also eligible for student sports rights. There is a special arrangement for students who are going on an internship or exchange and for graduates who wish to remain members of an SSV.

If you are going on an internship or exchange abroad this academic year and you want to remain a member of an SSV, for example, you may be eligible for a discount on your annual sports rights. You must stay abroad for at least three months.

Foreign students studying at WUR for a maximum of six months can also make use of this.
