Welcome to the University of Copenhagen Student Sports Association - KU Studenteridræt!
If you are an exchange student and you want to do sports while being part of a cool and fun community, you should join the UCPH student sports association. Our facilities are close to the Copenhagen campuses, which makes it easy for you to get from class to your sports activity.
At the UCPH Student Sports, it is our most important task to provide affordable sport activities for students. We want all students to be able to exercise and participate in social gatherings on a weekly basis, regardless of financial background. Most of the different disciplines do usually not exceed € 135 for the entire season. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up! Get a full list of our disciplines and prices on the homepage, where the different sport categories can be seen at the top of the page. Click on a category to find the subordinated disciplines and click on a discipline to find information on price, schedule, level, and more: www.kustudenteridraet.dk.
At UCPH student sports association, we want to embrace all kinds of sport activities. You can sail kayak, swim in indoor pools or do outdoor winter swimming. You can kick a ball at futsal, smash a volleyball, ride a mountain bike and much more! We can almost guarantee that we have something for you – regardless of preference. Check out all the disciplines here.
We are a non-profit organisation that work on creating the necessary conditions for students in Copenhagen to live a healthy life while studying. There is a need for combatting stress, anxiety and loneliness in today's academic world. We want to be a vigilant part in offering social sport activities in order to stamp out these damaging tendencies.

Season
The exact dates and times for the teams' start and end are shown on the receipt and in your profile on www.kustudenteridraet.dk.
UCPH Student Sports has 2 training seasons a year – each with its own program.
1. Main season - September-April
Registration starts at the end of August and can then be done continuously throughout the season as long as there is available space on the teams. The program will be published on the website in August.
2. Summer season - April-August with varying training periods
Registration falls into two periods. In March for tennis, beach volleyball and outdoor exercise. In April, for outdoor activities starting in May. Registration can then be done continuously throughout the season if there is a vacancy on the team. The program will be published on the website during March and April.
Payment
On the website, you can pay with the most common credit card types.
We use Flatpay as payment providers for Dankort, Mobilepay and other credit card types. Read more on their website about the security of online payment.
You are not registered until payment has been completed, and you have received a receipt to the email address created on your profile in the association's membership system.
You can pay with Mobilepay, Dankort, VisaDankort, Visa and Mastercard.
Confirmation of registration
Members will receive an email with confirmation of registration and payment. Only upon receipt of this separate email confirmation is a team validly registered. The member profile on our website must always be kept up to date with the correct email address, phone number, address, etc. Any cancellations and other important information regarding the registered teams will be sent by e-mail and text message.
Waiting list
It is possible to sign up for a waiting list for one or more specific teams when the team is oversubscribed. A place on the waiting list is only valid for the current season.
The waiting list in the member system is handled fully automatically. This means that if a vacancy arises on a team with a waiting list, the place will be offered via email to no. 1 on the waiting list. After this, you have 48 hours to accept the offer of a place. If no. 1 on the waiting list does not accept the place within 48 hours, no. 2 on the waiting list will be offered the place for 48 hours, etc. If a waiting list for a specific team has been run twice without a member having purchased the place, then the team's waiting list will be deleted, and the vacant spot will be released.
Registration after the start of the season
It is possible to sign up for teams throughout the season, if there are available places. For teams that train the entire period from September to April, the team fee is reduced by 50% from January.

We reserve the right to change or discontinue teams in connection with lack of registration. Likewise, we relate to the right throughout the season to make continuous professional adjustments to the teams' levels.
