The University Sports Centre is accessible to everyone. Both students and staff of Leiden University, as well as external individuals, can take out a membership at the USC. Managing your sports membership is now easier (and more convenient) than ever. We offer direct debit, so you no longer have to pay for the entire year in one go but instead in 12 installments.
General terms, conditions and privacy
Canceling Your Direct Debit Membership
Flex Subscription
A flexible subscription can be cancelled at the end of any calendar month. If you cancel during the month, your subscription will still end at the end of that calendar month. Cancelling after your first flexible period? Please note: the flexible subscription can only be cancelled after a full subscription period, meaning after a full calendar month. For example, if you start the subscription on February 15, it will run at least until March 31, and the month of March will also be charged.
Annual Subscription
A direct debit annual subscription can be cancelled after one year. If you don’t cancel it, the subscription will automatically continue and can then be terminated at the end of any calendar month.

As a USC member you can also enjoy ice skating at IJshal de Vliet during the winter season on Tuesday evenings from 8:15 PM to 11:15 PM, at an attractive rate of €2.70 per time.
Free Try Out Week

Participate in our group lessons, training courses of our student sports associations or come workout in our gym. You can even try out several things. Create an account, without obligation, and the staff at the front office will help you out further.
Sports associations
Would you like to join Hockeyclub Thor, LVV Leicrosse, Football Factory, Aquamania or LSRG? These associations have a separate contract with the USC regarding contributions. Before purchasing a sports subscription, first inquire with the relevant association what these agreements are.
Individual Choices Model
Leiden University staff members are eligible for an allowance for their annual gym membership. This allowance does not cover all the expenses, but the use of gross income means you benefit from a tax advantage. Read on for more information.
