Courses<br />
The <strong>ACLO</strong> offers introductory courses for various sports, which run for<br />
a five-week or ten-week period. Each year has 4 ten-week periods and<br />
8 five-week periods; a schedule can be found below and at www.aclosport.nl<br />
under ‘<strong>Sports</strong> > Courses’.<br />
The courses are offered at beginners’ level, unless stated differently. In<br />
order to be able to participate, you need to sign up for a course and<br />
pay a deposit. The procedure is as follows:<br />
1. Online registration: students can sign up for new courses three<br />
weeks before the courses start. You can sign up by logging in<br />
to My<strong>ACLO</strong> (www.aclosport.nl under ‘Course enrolment’). It is<br />
possible to sign up for more than one course. The two-week<br />
registration period will be announced well in advance.<br />
2. Admission by ballot: if the number of applications exceeds the<br />
number of places available in the course, these places will be<br />
allocated by ballot. All applicants will receive an e-mail with the<br />
results of the draw.<br />
3. Deposit: if you have drawn a place in the course, you have three<br />
days to pay a €10,- deposit at the <strong>Sports</strong> Centre information<br />
desk, which is open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. You will only be<br />
placed after you have paid the deposit. You can collect your<br />
deposit three weeks after the end of the course, but only when<br />
you have attended at least 80% of all classes. N.B.: cancelled<br />
classes will not be included in your 80% attendance.<br />
4. Post-enrolment: if there are any places left in a course once the<br />
deposit period has expired (you can use My<strong>ACLO</strong> to find this<br />
out), you can post-enrol for this course via My<strong>ACLO</strong>. Post-enrolment<br />
is possible until 10 a.m. on the first day of the course.<br />
This is also the deadline for paying the deposit; if you do not<br />
pay the deposit in time, your registration will lapse. The postenrolment<br />
is on a first come, first served basis.

Fitness<br />
The <strong>Sports</strong> Centre has a modern fitness room which is open to members<br />
the whole year round. In order to be granted access to the fitness<br />
room, you need a fitness sticker on your <strong>ACLO</strong>-sportscard. This costs<br />
€65 a year (there is a discount from March onwards) and can be obtained<br />
in two ways:<br />
1. Beginners: Beginners have to apply for and follow a regular fitness<br />
course.<br />
2. Advanced practitioners: As an advanced practitioner you have<br />
to attend a fitness intake hour, where you have to demonstrate<br />
that you have sufficient fitness experience and where you learn<br />
about the house rules of the fitness centre. You can sign up for<br />
a fitness intake hour via ‘Course enrolment > fitness intake’ in<br />
My<strong>ACLO</strong>.<br />
The fitness sticker* gives you access to the <strong>ACLO</strong> fitness room for the<br />
entire academic year. For opening hours, please go to www.aclosport.<br />
nl under ‘Contact > Opening Hours’.<br />
*Once you have earned your right to buy a fitness sticker it will be valid for<br />
the rest of your time as a student. You do have to pay for the sticker each<br />
year if you wish to continue to make use of the fitness facilities.<br />

<strong>Sports</strong> offer<br />
The timetables for open hours and courses change every year. The<br />
course timetables vary considerably from period to period, but the<br />
timetable for open hours is roughly the same throughout the year.<br />
The timetables have been drawn up in a way that makes it easy to see<br />
which sports activities take place on a certain day and a certain time.<br />
The tables also contain icons that indicate the intensity of the sports.<br />
These icons stand for stamina, coordination, strength, and relaxation.<br />
The timetables can be found:<br />
1. at www.aclosport.nl under ‘Schedules’.<br />
2. in the form of printed timetables (to take home) at the entrance<br />
of the <strong>Sports</strong> Centre and around the corner of the desk at the<br />
Willem-Alexander <strong>Sports</strong> Centre.<br />
3. as posters, hanging at the entrance of the <strong>Sports</strong> Centre.

<strong>Sports</strong> in Groningen<br />
The University of Groningen and the Hanze University provide students<br />
in Groningen with the opportunity to play sports at the <strong>ACLO</strong> for<br />
a low price. The <strong>ACLO</strong> is the main student sports organization in Groningen<br />
with about 18.000 members each year. This makes the <strong>ACLO</strong> the<br />
biggest student sports organization of Groningen, the Netherlands,<br />
and even Europe. The <strong>ACLO</strong> provides unlimited use of facilities and a<br />
selection of more than 80 different sports. With an <strong>ACLO</strong>-sportscard,<br />
you have unlimited access to facilities up until September. A list of the<br />
sports offered at <strong>ACLO</strong> can be found further on in this information<br />
guide.<br />
Go exercise!<br />
Besides studying, students in Groningen spend most of their time playing<br />
sports. That’s not really surprising, as the positive effects of playing<br />
sports (it gives you energy, it is a social activity, and it helps you relax<br />
and lose weight) complete, and add variation to, your student life in<br />
Groningen. After all, the energy that you get from exercising not only<br />
has a positive influence on your study performance, it also enables you<br />
to party into the wee hours of the morning!<br />
