Homecoming Cup
The Homecoming Cup is the sporting highlight of Freshers’ Week. It is an interdisciplinary relay race comprising canoeing, sprinting, a cycling obstacle course, skating and, to round it off, the big team challenge: scaling a wall nearly four metres high.
The idea for the Homecoming Cup originally came from the United States. Homecoming is a tradition designed to welcome students to campus at the start of the term.

Sexualised and interpersonal violence takes many forms. Everyday situations such as suggestive language, sexist jokes, leering and gestures are trivialised and played down – even in university sport.
With the ‘Time Out’ campaign, we want to draw attention to the fact that we do not tolerate discrimination, inappropriate behaviour or sexualised violence in university sport at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. We are establishing prevention measures to make university sport a trusting, non-discriminatory, respectful and safe space for everyone.
To this end, you will find, amongst other things, a ‘sport scale’ included in our course descriptions. There, you can use various categories – such as endurance, physical contact, coordination, strength, as well as social proximity and accessibility – to assess what to expect from our sports courses.
Have you experienced or witnessed inappropriate or boundary-violating behaviour? Remember: you are not alone. You are entitled to seek advice and support. We have an Anti-Discrimination Officer at our Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences for this purpose. You are welcome to contact her at any time.
Antidiskriminierung(at)
Membership of the General German University Sports Association (adh) forms a key foundation for the organisation, quality assurance and further development of student sport in Germany.
The General German University Sports Association (adh) is the umbrella organisation for university sport and represents the interests of universities and higher education institutions at national and international level. Through membership of the adh, university sport becomes part of a structured network that facilitates the exchange of knowledge, resources and best practice between member institutions.
A key benefit of this membership is the opportunity to take part in a diverse range of competitions and events. Students have the chance to compete in German university championships as well as international competitions, which not only promotes sporting achievement but also strengthens intercultural skills.
Furthermore, the adh supports universities in organisational, legal and safety-related matters. It develops standards and guidelines that contribute to the quality and safety of sporting activities. The adh also plays a key role in the training and further education of sports instructors, as well as in the promotion of health-related and recreational sport.
Last but not least, the adh represents the interests of university sport in dealings with politicians, society and international sports organisations. This ensures that student sport is recognised as a significant part of university life and is supported in the long term.
In summary, membership of the adh enhances the professionalism, visibility and diversity of university sport and offers numerous benefits to both universities and students.
The terms and conditions of participation are set out in the Terms of Use for University Sports at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences. Please read the document carefully.
