Welcome to the CSC Sport Programme
Introduced a few years ago, the sport programme proposes two to three
hours of sport every afternoon to those who are
interested. The aim of the programme is not only to provide a healthy
work-life balance before the late afternoon working sessions begin, but
it also provides additional opportunities for interactions between
students, lecturers and organizers. Several of the lecturers act as
sport instructors or organizers.
We hope that all students attending the school will appreciate
and participate in the programme.

Daily sports
Sports usually proposed in the afternoon depends on the
local facilities and may include swimming, volleyball, basketball, floorball, climbing, squash, badminton, tennis, football, hiking,
biking, and whenever possible canoeing, kayaking, sailing, or horseback
riding.
Sport afternoons are usually organized every day in week
1and the first two days in week 2 (the other afternoons in week 2
being usually reserved for free time, the examination and the closing
cession.
Optional ... yet
exceptionally popular
The sports programme is obviously optional, and no
student should feel embarrassed if not interested. It is however
particularly appreciated and usually more than 90% of the students
do participate. In particular, the possibility to discover new sport or
to improve early skills through lessons given by school lecturers or by
external instructors is appreciated.
