Regulation NSK

Universities and colleges in the Netherlands, as well as foreign institutions of higher education can participate in the Dutch Student Grass Volleyball Championship. Participation in the Dutch Grass Volleyball Student Championship is subject to a number of conditions. Below is a short summary of those conditions. Also read the full terms and conditions in the tournament regulations. Each institution or city may participate with up to one men's and one women's team. This team represents its own college town.

 

All players of a team that is participating, need to be studying or have graduated the year previous to the tournament. Players must be able to identify themselves at all times as (former) students of the institution for which they are participating, for example, with a college card or diploma. This can be checked before or during the tournament.

It is of course possible to spend the night at the campsite, where other participants of the Hajraa outdoor tournament also spend the night. You have to bring your own sleeping equipment and tents. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available at the tournament/campsite.
