Courses and topics

During the first week of school, you choose your classes for the semester. Each semester, you can select three different sports subjects, giving you the chance to develop your skills in a particular sport or to try out something completely new - the choice is yours!

In addition, you will also pick one theoretical and one pratical class each semester. The selection of subjects may vary slightly from term to term.

You don't need to be an elite athlete - as long as you like sports and are willing to learn, you'll fit right in. Whether you're a beginner or an experience athlete, we guarantee you'll be challenged and inspired.
