Corporate sports group for employees: Kick it at the Uni!
The men's soccer company sports group BSG Uni Konstanz has been around for many years. It is an offer for all employees of the university and is led by Martin Kraußer (Human Resources Division). Training takes place every Monday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (depending on the wheather from end of March to the end of November) on the BC Egg.
A changing room is available in the clubhouse from 4:30 pm. You can also take a shower there after training.

After training, there is always the possibility of a cosy get-together in the clubhouse, whereby participation is (of course) not obligatory, but desired. By exchanging information about university matters, other everyday things and, last but not least, about national and international soccer events, the aim is to strengthen cohesion and camaraderie.
We usually play against other corporate sports teams twice a year and occasionally take part in tournaments, for which we have two sets of jerseys financed by the university.
There is no fixed membership fee and any costs incurred, such as the fee for the use of the clubhouse or a tournament entry fee, are shared among the players.
Interested colleagues of any age and soccer skills are very welcome!
Please contact Martin Kraußer (martin.krausser@uni.kn) in advance.
