Campus Recreation

The Office of Campus Recreation provides a myriad of activities, services and events in five program areas: intramural sports, fitness, club sports, informal recreation and off-campus recreation.

The intramural sports program gives students, faculty and staff the opportunity to participate in organized, non-varsity team and individual sports. A dozen structured intramural leagues and 10 one-day tournaments are offered annually in a wide variety of sports, including basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, golf, dodgeball, flag football, soccer, ultimate and floor hockey.

The McNiff Fitness Center is a fully equipped 6,000-sq.-ft. campus fitness facility offering cardio and strength training equipment, and circuit machines. The center also provides personal training, group fitness classes and an assortment of wellness programs. The facility serves as the host for BikeUT, a university-wide bike rental program created to promote outdoor physical activity and sustainable transportation options for the student body.

The sports club program promotes and develops the interests and skills of individuals in various sports and recreational activities. Sport clubs provide competitive, instructional and recreational activities while emphasizing the development of both leadership skills and a sense of community. The department offers support and guidance for students interested in forming new sport clubs.

The department provides informal recreation sites including four lighted outdoor courts (two basketball and two volleyball), which are available for student use 24 hours a day. Additionally, student organizations may reserve the Cass Gym for indoor sports and recreational events.

A variety of off-campus recreation activities including canoeing, deep sea fishing, indoor rock climbing and paintball are held throughout the academic year to provide students the opportunity to participate in leisure experiences in the surrounding area.
