Everyone has to make their own reservation to the racket sports shifts starting from 1 March 2025
The court shifts of badminton, pickleball and table tennis will be removed from the sports schedule on 1 March 2025. After that, one person no longer makes the reservation for all the people who play in the court, but everyone makes their own reservation to the racket sports shifts.
We are making the change because the current reservation rules are being violated constantly. From autumn 2024 onwards, we have intervened with the violations more effectively and the reservation rules have been clarified. Some of our customers still do not follow the rules, but break them repeatedly. This places an unreasonable burden on CampusSport’s staff and the time spent on dealing with the violations is taken away from maintaining and developing other activities.
Starting from March, the reservation practises for the racket sports shifts will be the same as for other CampusSport’s shifts. Every player has to make their own reservation and confirm it on the touch screen before the shift begins. Confirmation needs to be made at the latest 10 minutes before the shift starts. There are four slots available for pre-reservation per each court. The participants are in charge of dividing the players evenly when there are more than one court available in the shift. The participants can agree that everyone will be a substitute during the shift so that it is possible to play singles.
Racket sports shifts are level two ball sport shifts:
- The participants have to know the rules.
- The participants are in charge of starting the game and making sure that everyone gets to play.
- The participants have to make sure that there is an encouraging atmosphere in the shift and that the tempo of the game remains suitable for intermediate players.
Note that if the shift is full, you might not get to choose who you play with or get to play singles. If you want to play only with your group, you can book a regular shift. More information on page Facilities for rent.
There are no changes in the reservation practises of the padel shift. Up to 12 people can reserve a place to the shift. There are two courts. The game will be played according to the rules with four players/court, so two people are always substitutes.
