Sport at Cus
Students of the University of Padua, and the entire academic community, can access the activities of the Centro Universitario Sportivo - Cus Padova at discounted rates; in particular, Cus Padova organises courses, events and tournaments to promote participation in sport across a wide range of disciplines.
In addition to the sports facilities, students also have the opportunity to use the study room and the equipped green spaces in order to combine sport and academic studies.

From October to May, you can represent your department, practise sport and meet new students within CUS Campus. For the 2026/27 season, the featured disciplines will be mixed volleyball and five-a-side football.
Registration by 18 October.
As part of its initiatives to promote wellbeing and sport, and with the aim of encouraging widespread participation in sport — including at a non-competitive level — among students and staff at the Cus sports facilities, the University supports a membership campaign by offering the entire university community the opportunity to join Cus free of charge for the current year.
Joining CUS Padua means having access to a wide range of activities, services and spaces for competitive and non-competitive sports, as well as recreational activities for all ages (fitness courses, urban dance, athletics, etc.).
Membership gives you the opportunity to take part free of charge, during specific time slots, in no-pay activities using the spaces made available by Cus (athletics, five-a-side football, tennis, basketball, volleyball), and to access paid activities such as the various courses at special prices.
Access to activities is governed by the Cus regulations available on the website www.cuspadova.it
You can request free membership of Cus by completing a dedicated online form.
