Spikeball

Spikeball is a team sport where two teams of two players compete against each other. The game begins with one team serving the ball by hitting it onto the net. The opposing team must then hit the ball back onto the net. The aim is to hit the ball in a way that the other team can't return it. The game continues until a team is unable to return the ball or the ball hits the net before being returned. Spikeball is a fast-paced and dynamic game that requires agility, reflexes, and teamwork. It's often played on beaches, in parks, and backyards, and is popular due to its simple setup and the ability to play anywhere. The workshop is conducted by the Spikeball Student Association G.S.R.V. De Graancirkel.

Gaelic Football

Gaelic football is a dynamic team sport primarily played in Ireland. It combines elements of soccer, rugby, and handball. The game is played with a round ball that can be played with both hands and feet. The objective is to kick or punch the ball into the opponent's goal, earning points. Players can hold, dribble, pass, and kick the ball. They can also bounce the ball on the ground while running. Gaelic football is an intense sport that requires physical strength, agility, and teamwork. It's played on a large grass field and is popular among both players and spectators for its fast pace and exciting action. The workshop is provided by the Groninger Geals.

Pickleball

Pickleball is a fun and rapidly growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It's played on a small court with a low net, similar to tennis, but with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The objective is to hit the ball over the net and force the opponent to return it, similar to tennis. The game is usually played in doubles but can also be played in singles. Pickleball is accessible to people of all ages and skill levels and can be played indoors or outdoors.

Padel

Padel is an exciting racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It's played on a smaller court than tennis, surrounded by glass walls and a metal fence. Players use a solid racket and a ball similar to a tennis ball but with less pressure. The goal is to hit the ball over the net and keep it within the boundaries of the court, using the walls to return the ball. Padel is usually played in doubles, making it a social and interactive game.

Jumping Fitness

Jumping Fitness is a cardio workout where you perform various jumps on specially designed trampolines. During a Jumping Fitness workout, you engage more than 400 muscles - more than any other endurance sport - and burn a significant amount of calories. Because the surface is resilient, this workout is less taxing on your joints than training on a solid surface. It's a good workout for your legs, core, and glutes. At the same time, the dynamic exercises improve your endurance and help prevent back problems.

Yoga

Despite yoga's increasing popularity, there are still some misconceptions about what it actually is. Some people associate yoga with "standing on your head" or "some kind of gymnastics," or they think yoga is airy-fairy. But yoga is anything but that. In fact, it helps you firmly plant both feet on the ground. Through movement and meditation, you confront yourself on a deep level, as yoga helps you become aware. Yoga is accessible to everyone because the postures and breathing techniques can be applied at any level and practically anywhere.

Pole Dancing

Pole dancing is a form of dance where various dance techniques are performed around and on a vertical pole. It's a sport that requires strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance. There are different levels in this sport that can be practiced on both stationary and spinning poles. Because of the diversity this sport offers, everyone can develop in aspects they deem important, whether it's strength, flexibility, or a combination of both.
