On Wednesday 15 May, Paderborn University's University Sports Department will be celebrating the official opening of the new padel tennis and streetball courts on the sports campus. All interested parties are cordially invited to explore the facilities at the outdoor opening from 4pm. The university sports team will be organising several competitions to inaugurate the new trend sports facilities. Guests will also be given an insight into the wide range of sports on offer, from rugby and lacrosse to Argentine dancing and Zumba, and will be able to try their hand at various disciplines. The sports campus is complemented by a calisthenics facility and a beach volleyball and spikeball court. Catering will be provided by a food truck.
"We want to attract lots of students to the sports campus with the opening event and show them our wide range of sporting opportunities. They can play sport in their free time on the new facility and we see the offer as a perfect addition to our proven university sports programme," says Uli Kussin, Head of Paderborn University Sports. The competitions on the opening day are aimed specifically at amateur athletes. "It's more about having fun and enjoying the sport than competing," explains university sports staff member Dennis Kehne.
Organisational support for the event comes from the Science and Research department: as part of a project seminar by Dr Hilke Teubert from the Sports Didactics and Pedagogy working group, students gain insights into the organisation of sports events and put the knowledge they have gained during their studies into practice.
Further information and registration options for the tournaments can be found on the Outdoor Opening website.
