Believe it or not, it’s already December and winter is almost upon us. Although it may be getting a bit cold for outdoor tennis, Bilkent has plenty of indoor facilities for racket sports of all descriptions. So, it’s a great time to get out your racket (or paddle, if table tennis is your sport) and get playing!
The Sports Center’s fall racket sports festival is taking place this week, as part of the “Sports as a Way of Life” program. The festival is being held on Main Campus, at the Dormitories Sports Hall, Main Sports Hall and indoor tennis courts near the Sports Center, and features tournaments in badminton, squash, table tennis and tennis.
All students and staff members, regardless of skill level, are invited to participate in this special event. Win or lose, everyone is sure to have fun and get plenty of exercise.
There is no fee to participate in any of the tournaments, but registration is required; you can register at any of the university sports halls. Winners will receive trophies, medals, special gifts and t-shirts.
