Just in time for the start of the summer semester 2026, KIT University Sports will provide you with all relevant information on booking courses and all important innovations relating to the sports program at KIT.

Course booking

Since 01.04.2026 it is already possible to book the HSP Sportpass. As usual, this is a prerequisite for all sports course bookings. These can be viewed in our booking portal (app) and can be booked from today, 07.04.2026, 10 am. As in the previous semester, our new booking system enables a fairer allocation of places for selected courses without performance requirements (general and beginner courses) through a lottery procedure. Participants can select and prioritize up to three courses: 1 = high priority; 2 = medium priority; 3 = low priority. There is no lottery procedure for advanced and competition courses.

The registration procedure with course lottery works as follows:

• 07.04.2026, 10:00 am: Start of the registration phase for course places

• 14.04.2026, 23:59: End of the registration phase for course places

• The course place lottery will take place in two rounds:

  • Round 1: t = 15.04.2026, 10:00 a.m. to 16.04.2026, 09:59 a.m.
  • Round 2: t = 16.04.2026, 10:00 a.m. to 17.04.2026, 09:59 a.m.

• Acceptance period for course places: 23 hours per place offered

• After the end of the second lottery round, any remaining places available can be freely booked.

PlayNow

In the summer semester 2026, the court rental of the beach volleyball courts in the Sparda Sportpark will be added to the existing PlayNow offers. In addition, the outdoor tennis courts of the University Sports Center can be booked again from 20.04.2026.

walk-in and fitness courses

The summer semester 2026 will also bring extensive changes to the walk-in health center:All offers of the walk-in health center can now be booked via the university sports booking portal (app). In this context, the walk-in membership will be offered as a monthly subscription in the future. Other services such as health diagnostics, bioelectrical impedance analysis or training plan checks will be available via the booking portal (app).

The fitness courses will also be restructured: You can book individual appointments in the full body workouts or specific fitness classes via the sports plan in the booking portal (app). You also have the option of taking part in unlimited fitness classes within the booked month via the Fitness Pass | Unlimited (can be found under Subscriptions).

If you have any questions, you can find information in the FAQ of the university sports department or contact hochschulsport@ifss.kit.edu directly. We would also like to invite you to the university sports summer kick-off on 14.04.2026 from 15:00 to 17:30 in the Sparda Sportpark (IfSS) - the university sports team will be available to answer your questions in person.
