FAQ Erasmus Sport

General

1. How can I reach the Erasmus Sport Center?

The Erasmus Sport Center is situated on the campus of the Erasmus University Rotterdam,

located at Burgemeester Oudlaan 50. For the accessibility of the campus and information about

The opening hours of the Erasmus Sport Center and the fitness can be found here:

4. On which days is the Erasmus Sport Center closed?

The Erasmus Sport Center is open 7 days a week, with the exception of public holidays and the

Christmas holidays. For current opening hours and national holidays, check our website:

http://erasmussport.nl/contact-en/

In addition, we use a summer schedule during the summer holiday, in which we are open 7 days

a week, but with more limited opening times and other lessons.

After reporting your missing pass, we can duplicate your Erasmus Sport pass at our service desk.

For this you pay €2,50 administration cost and another €5,00 deposit for your new pass. With

the creation of such a duplicate, the deposit on your old sport pass expires. This means that

when you find your lost pass, you can’t claim this deposit anymore. When your sport pass gets

stolen and you report this to the police, you will only pay the new deposit for the pass. We will

not charge the administrative costs if you show proof of the police report.

6. Where can I go when I have lost something at Erasmus Sport?

The found objects (clothing, shoes, etc.) are stored in a large cart near the squash courts. Found

surroundings, which offer discounts or free use of what they offer. For an overview of all our

partners you can visit http://erasmussport.nl/prices/ and scroll down a bit.

10. What does Erasmus Sport offer?

without guidance. Furthermore, we offer various courses (which sometimes require additional

payment) and we have 23 sport clubs each offering their own program. With your Erasmus

Facility

12. Are there lockers available at Erasmus Sport where I can put my stuff in?

Yes, there are lockers and these lockers can be used free of charge. To start using one of the

lockers you enter a four-digit code, after which you will be assigned a locker. After completing

your workout, you can use the combination of your own chosen code and the safe number to

remove your belongings from the save. Lockers are emptied out every night, so you cannot

store your belongings in a locker overnight.

Please note: The lockers are quite large and should be large enough for a normal sized sports

bag, but there is a possibility that larger objects (such as umbrellas or large suitcases) don’t fit

inside the lockers.

14. How do I reserve a squash court?

Two valid sport passes or day passes are required to reserve a squash court. Reservations can

only be made on the day itself at the service desk. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make

reservations online or by phone. The squash court can only be reserved for 30 minutes. So after

30 minutes there is a possibility that you have to leave your court because someone else made a

reservation on the same court. If this is the case you can make a new, connecting, reservation

for another court at the service desk. Reserving a squash court is free of charge. Squash rackets

can be rented at the service desk for €2,50 per racket and squash balls can be bought at the

service desk for €4,00.

Beware: On Tuesday and Thursday evenings it can be very busy on the squash courts, because

on those evenings our squash club ‘Tick in de Nick’ is active. So especially on those evenings it is

advisable to come by the service desk earlier that day to make a reservation.

15. How do I reserve a tennis court?

Two valid sport passes or day passes are required to reserve a tennis court. Reservations can

16. Is it possible to reserve a sports hall or training room at Erasmus Sport?

Yes, this is possible. With a valid sport pass, you can reserve a sports hall or training room, when

available, in the weekend (1-hour reservation) for free. This can be done by sending an email to

info@erasmussport.nl starting from the Wednesday afternoon (12 PM) before. This email

should contain the sport for which you want to reserve the room, the day and time you want to

reserve the room and a telephone number where we can reach you if necessary. Everyone who

wants to participate at the reserved time must be in possession of a valid sports pass or

purchase a day pass at the service desk.

For reservations during the week or for longer reservations during the weekend, a fee will be

charged. To make these reservations you can also email us at info@erasmussport.nl and we will
