It is great to see that students from the only Finnish faculty of sport and health sciences are athletes also in practice by winning the Finnish National Student Games. ment but also between organizational and local sectors nationally, regionally and locally. Student sports include always many different kinds of exercising from activating the passive ones to sport in the highest toplevel. Competing and exercising must always be rewarding and everyone must have possibility to participate was the level of sport whatever. In student games it is important to beat opponents but at the same time it is also allowed to have fun together. Except that competitions have an intrinsic value from sports’ point of view, their social value is also important by making and maintaining international networks. I wish good luck and success for the athletes who are going to represent Finland in Cordoba. I also want to thank all the important supporters at homes, in the University and in sport clubs and other organizations. For us it is important to support students’ physical activity and that’s why it is also written in the Government Programme of Finland. We have to do our best to guarantee that students from all the universities have good possibilities to exercise. That demands working cooperation except in the Govern- Paavo Arhinmäki Minister of Culture and Sport Finnish Government University of Jyväskylä • www.jyu.fi Translated by Santeri Paajanen, editor A Word from the Editorial Staff You are holding the tournament leaflet of the three teams representing Finland and the University of Jyväskylä in the 1st European Universities Games (EUSA Games) held in Córdoba (Spain), July 2012. The EUSA Games is the largest European multisport student event featuring competitions in 10 different sports: basketball, handball, football, futsal, rugby 7s, volleyball, badminton, beach volley, table tennis and tennis. European Universities Championships have been organized in various sports for years now; but since these EUSA Games in Córdoba draw together athletes of the above-mentioned sports for the very first time, we take it as a special privilege to be a part of this historical and colossal student sports event. included are the volleyball, football, and futsal teams of the University of Jyväskylä competing in the event. Most of the athletes and officials introduced in this leaflet have also taken part in the previous European Universities Championships in their respective sports. Considering the fact that a great majority of them have been eager to participate again, it feels safe to say that the experience and individual development possibilities gained in these international sport events are highly appreciated. On behalf of the teams and their members the editorial staff wants to thank all the supporters and benefactors, who have made our participation in the 1st EUSA Games possible. We also want to express our gratitude to the staff and voluntary workers organizing this historical event. Kiitos pyyteettömyydestä! This leaflet showcases the teams, athletes, and officials from the University of Jyväskylä and from the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences participating in the EUSA Games 2012.

The Faculty is also well-known as an organizer of international congresses. Knowing the field of sport sciences is ever more important in the society. The development of population’s health, aging and growing importance of physical activity for enhancing the public health give bigger challenges for our faculty. Enhancing the top-level sport in Finland is also a target of our faculty. International sport events for university students are great possibilities to experience strong and shared feelings that sport and physical activity provide. I owe my warm thanks to all of you who are organizing these wonderful Games. Studying and sports have many same features; ambitiousness, developing a talent, sustainability, commitment, success and disappointments, growth as a human and as an athlete. Students will test these features under the 1st European Universities Games. Dean Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences University of Jyväskylä I wish unforgettable flow experiences of sport for our football, volleyball and futsal teams and success of course.

Last year was the first time we competed on an international level in the European Universities Volleyball Championships held in Serbia. The result was pretty good for us first timers as we placed 6th in the tournament and lost the place to the semifinals by the smallest possible margin. This year our goal is to make it to the top four. Our team comes from Jyväskylä – a city at the heart of Finland. Jyväskylä is one of the most active and versatile student cities in Finland. None of our players have the same place of birth but we all live and study in Jyväskylä now. Our team consists of eight students from the University of Jyväskylä and two students from the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences. All in all, we have students from three different faculties of the University of Jyväskylä and from two educational units of the University of Applied Sciences. We have players from every level of the Finnish volleyball league system: from the fourth division to the National Volleyball League (the premier division of Finnish volleyball). Internationally our team has a lot of potential. All the players have experience from international games at their youth or last year. The brightest star of our team is Pasi Hyvärinen, who for years has been the number one libero of the Finnish national team. He ranked number one in the libero statistics of the FIVB Volleyball World League 2010. In Finland we have a simple system to pick the team that represents our country at the European Universities Championship tournament. The winner of the national student championships (OSM tournament) wins the right to participate in the EUC tournament next year. Our team has won the national championship twice in a row. The team travelling to Cordoba this year is exactly the same that won the national title this spring. Other than that our team doesn´t play together. We are looking forward to competing with the best student-athletes in Europe at the moment. Come see us play – cheers!

The club is called Liikunnan Riemu and different types of sports are practiced under it. The football team of the University of Jyväskylä is the last years’ most successful student team in the Finnish Universities Football Championships. The road to Cordoba became clear after winning the national championship in 2011. The team is also known for its enthusiasm and diligence to develop university sports in Finland and or- ganize different university sports events on the national level. The team is wholly working by good team spirit and keen attitudes of players. The team always tends to perform well both on and off the field. As an indication of that the football team from the University of Jyväskylä was nominated as the Fair Play team of the tournament in Wroclaw 2009 and has been a respected participant in the European Universities Championships in last years. This year the team seriously believes in the success also on the field and is trying to achieve the best ranking ever for a Finnish football team. In order to achieve that, the team has prepared for the EUSA games in Cordoba for a long time. The team is looking forward to the 1st European Universities Games in Cordoba on July 2012. Besides the good performances on the field, the team wishes to have fun and meet our old and new friends from all around the Europe. The Finnish football team is sure that the games will be fantastic and unforgettable.

Having finished 6th in its debut league season, KaDy went on to claim two 2nd place finishes in a row, making a powerful breakthrough to the national futsal elite. At present, KaDy Monster (in the picture) is at its highest form thus far. In addition to the main squad, KaDy hosts its university student force under the name of KaDy Students. KaDy Students are the reigning Finnish student champion three years in a row and reached the 7th place (a new Finnish record) in the 7th European Universities Futsal Championships held in Zagreb, July 2010. A year after that KaDy Students repeated their achievement in the 8th European Universities Futsal Championship in Tampere, July 2011. So, this year’s tournament in Córdoba (the 1st EUSA games of all time) is the 3rd EUC tournament for KaDy Students who represent the University of Jyväskylä. KaDy Students might make recruits from other local clubs – the criteria for recruit being that one has to be a university student from Jyväskylä and, of course, display some great futsal abilities. This year’s squad (see the player cards) features one player who comes not from KaDy but from US Skädäm, a 1st division (the second highest level of Finnish futsal) team from Jyväskylä. Thus, a great majority of the players of the Córdoba squad are KaDy’s league players – four of which have also appeared in the Finnish national team. KaDy Students represent the University of Jyväskylä. As typical for our team, the composition of the player’s fields of study is delightfully interdisciplinary: University of Jyväskylä comprises of seven faculties of which six are represented by the members of our delegation.
