The closing ceremony of the Week of Higher Education in Jihlava associated with the celebration of 20 years of the College of Polytechnics Jihlava belonged to sport. On Thursday 6 June 2024, the Sporting with VŠPJ 2024 event took place at Masaryk Square in Jihlava. The event, which brought the traditional human football tournament and a unique opportunity to try various sports activities, was held with the support of the Vysočina Region and the Statutory City of Jihlava.
The event kicked off at 11:00 a.m. with the traditional high school human foosball tournament. The private public high school TRIVIS Jihlava defended the winning of the travelling cup. The high school tournament was followed by the institutional tournament, in which the employees of the VŠPJ took the first place. In addition to human football, passers-by could also try out climbing on an artificial climbing wall, baseball, something from athletics, parkour, archery or bench press.
Sporting with VŠPJ 2024 was also attended by several VŠPJ students enrolled in the UNIS project, which provides support to top university athletes. Visitors were able to work out on the cycling simulator under the supervision of Josef Kunášek, the 2022 Czech Academic Champion in cycling, or try out the high jump with athlete Mikuláš Střelc.
The UNIS Dual Career Project of the Victoria organisation, the University Sports Centre of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, was launched in 2020. Its aim is to create conditions that enable successful and promising athletes with exceptional sporting performance to study and combine the demands of their studies with sports training and participation in competitions.
The Sports with VŠPJ 2024 event was smoothly followed by the international baseball tournament Memorial of Rector Ladislav Jirka - VŠPJ Cup, which took place from 7 to 9 June at the Sports Complex of Otokara Březina and Demlova Elementary Schools.
