How do I become a club manager?
If you want to become a club manager, i.e. to manage a sports slot, contact the BDS, an office member will answer you to reserve your slot. You will then have to go to one of the offices to meet with a sports manager to get the equipment, keys or badges if necessary.
You will also have to sign a responsibility charter and provide a deposit to commit yourself to taking care of the equipment and to return it at the end of the semester.Can I go to my sport slot if I don’t have my sticker yet?
At the beginning of the semester, several trial weeks are offered, during which you can try all the sports without paying the BDS fee. At the end of this period, the sticker must be presented before each session.
If you show up without your sticker at a session, the person in charge of the session may ask you to leave the session. In addition, the BDS members present at the time of the session may also ask you to leave the session if you do not have your sticker.
Can only UTBM students join the BDS?
The BDS is an association open to the general public: students, staff and people from outside UTBM. People from outside the university can only take part in slots, they cannot be in charge of a slot.
