      \n
    • The USC sports program is elaborate, so that all students can enjoy the sports they like.<\/li>\n
    • The USC sports program is easily accessible, so that students who previously did not participate in sports still want to and can participate.<\/li>\n

    • Events (tournaments, etc.) are an addition to USC’s regular sports program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n
      • The atmosphere at USC facilities is aimed at bringing students together.<\/li>\n
      • The sports program ensures that students meet each other, build up a social life and enjoy it, often for a long time after their studies.<\/li>\n
      • Sports at USC brings students from different (educational) backgrounds together in a relaxt way.<\/li>\n
      • Students who are active in organizing sports (events) meet each other in a way that contributes to their (professional) development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        OTHER TARGET GROUPS<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

        USC therefore focuses mainly on students. Employees and alumni, as well as anyone who has no connection with the UvA, AUAS, Mediacollege, ROCvA-F or Inholland University of Applied Sciences, are of course also welcome.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Employees meet each other and students, while working out, in a different and relaxed way.<\/li>\n
        • USC offers employees an extensive form of corporate sports as part of the vitality policy that’s in place at educational institutes.<\/li>\n
