Current Information

Are you a student of Utrecht University, do you have a valid OlymPas and do you like padel? Or would you like to try it? Grab your chance now!

 

Thanks to the budget made available to Olympos by Utrecht University, UU students with a valid OlymPas can play padel (free sports) with 40% discount at the two locations with more than 20 padel courts of Peakz Padel Utrecht: Vechtse banen and Zeehaenkade.

 

You can also borrow free padel rackets and padel balls from Peakz, at the desk of the respective location.

 

How does it work? Quite simple

  • Go to www.peakzpadel.nl/olympos and create an account. You also need to fill in your SCO number (your Olympos membership number, it is on your OlymPas).
  • Do you already have an account with Peakz? Then fill out a form and after a few days your discount will be activated.
  • After that, you can book courts with 40% discount. There are timeslots of 60, 90 and 120 minutes and double and single courts. Zeehaenkade has indoor and outdoor courts, Vechtse banen only indoor courts. You book and pay per time slot.

 

Want to borrow your padel racket and padel balls?

This deal is free for UU students with a valid OlymPas. Bring your UU student card and your OlymPas to Peakz! Make sure the date on the validity sticker on your OlymPas matches the validity of your OlymPas. If not, go to the sports desk at Olympos to get a new sticker (bring your UU college card and ID with you!).

 

Duration of discount offer

This special discount promotion will end when the budget runs out, or no later than the end of 2024.

Olympos is looking for students who want to help setting up and clearing away examination tables and chairs at Olympos for €15 each time.

 

Ideal if you don't have much time but could use an extra penny!
And also handy to combine with sports at Olympos, if you are there anyway.

 

Sign up for the student pool (see below), and when exams are coming up you will receive a schedule with dates and timeslots you can sign up for, indicating when and how often you could/would like to work.

 

The timeslots are always an hour (sometimes 1.5) somewhere within the following times:

  • Sundays: one hour between approximately 17:00 - 20:00 (build-up)
  • Weekdays: one hour between approximately 06:30 - 09:30 (build-up)
  • Weekdays: one hour between approx. 16:00 - 19:00 (clearing)
  • During the week: one hour between approximately 22:00 - 1:00 (assembly)

 

Exam periods are always in periods of several weeks within which one-hour work timeslots are then scheduled almost daily. In the remainder of this academic year, these are, for example, weeks 15 & 16, week 21 and week 25 to 30. In addition, there are occasional examinations outside these periods, for which timeslots for assembly and disassembly are also scheduled.

 

Yes, I do want to work regular hours and earn some extra money!

Then send an email to Olaf at verhuur@olympos.nl and sign up for the student pool. You will then receive a list of timeslots you can sign up for at times that suit you (if they are still available).
