we are driven by
passionate volunteers
our dna
RUCsport is the sports organization at Roskilde University. We are a non-profit run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Our goal is to make fitness and sports affordable and fun for all RUC students and staff.
Our Philosophy
At RUCsport, we believe that staying active should be simple and accessible. To keep our facilities running and our equipment updated, we charge a small monthly fee for Gym Membership. Meanwhile, we strive to keep our Sports Teams and Classes free for everyone to enjoy.
Beyond the workout, we offer a Sports Membership for just 50 DKK per semester. We encourage all our participants to join this category. It serves a vital purpose: as it allows us to officially document our community’s size. A high member count is our strongest tool when applying for Funding, helping us secure the grants needed to provide high-quality equipment, support our dedicated volunteers, and expand our community with new classes and rented training facilities.
Our History
RUCsport was refounded in 2017 thanks to a group of “ildsjæle”, passionate volunteers, who wanted to build a better campus life.
While many have contributed over the years, a central figure in this journey has been Tobias (Toby) Krog Lafontaine. Serving as both Chairman and Treasurer in periodes between 2017 to 2026, his dedication helped build the foundation of the organization we have today.
Since then, we have grown significantly. Today, we have a steady group of 210 gym members, joined by a vibrant community of participants across our dance, yoga, football, and volleyball teams every week.
Everything we do is powered by volunteers who are dedicated to keeping RUCsport strong for the next generation of students.
