Welcome message of the University’s Gym Coordinator
Aris Angelopoulos, EE.P. Physical Education, University Gym Coordinator, National Volleyball Coach
Dear Students, Dear Staff of the University Community, Friends of the University Gym,
The University Gym Staff welcomes you to the “home of sports” of the University of Patras.
From the first decades of operation of the Gym to modern societies characterized more than ever by the need for individual and mass sports, University Sports and the training structures of the University of Patras come to meet the training needs of every member of the University Community in dynamic and creative ways.
In new and certified sports facilities with brand new equipment, the Gym staff (training, administrative, security), on a daily basis and on weekends, use their knowledge and experience to ensure safe and ideal training. The remarkable Physical Education teaching staff, all of whom are also renowned Federal coaches, international referees, recognized former athletes and notable researchers, along with the rest of the staff, are present daily at the University Gym to encourage, guide and put University Sports and Athletics into a creative and developmental process. The national and international student distinctions over time, in many sports and events, confirm the above.
We are waiting for you for an alternative break from your daily teaching and research activities. Make the most of your free time creatively, setting new goals for the maintenance and improvement of your body and mind, and be sure that in this way you are conveying and offering both to yourself and to your environment the values and importance of lifelong exercise.
Thank you.
