“They say that friends that play together, stay together! I think there is something special about getting together on the court, playing together or against each other, encouraging each other to get better, and the positive exhaustion from giving it your all on court - it creates a special type of bond between the members of the association."

MSc Crisis and Security Management student Frank plays tennis at the (student) tennis club Leimonias. 🎾

"I joined Leimonias because, after an 8-year break, I wanted to get back to playing tennis regularly, rediscover my passion for the sport and maybe find other people with the same goals. I foundsome information about the club on the website of the University and since it looked like a fun community, I decided to join and so far I'm glad that I did!

I think the fun part about the association is definitely the events that they organise. I've been a member for barely a month myself but I've already had the chance to participate in multiple student clinics, training sessions and a student tournament. 🏆 As a member, you can also book a court at any time to go play with friends. I also like the fact that you can meet a lot of students of different academic backgrounds that you maybe usually wouldn't mix with, but since you share a common passion for tennis it's quite easy to meet new people and to find something in common.” 🙌

Are you interested in playing tennis? Leimonias offers a special (discounted) membership for students. Check out their website via the link in bio.
