The Intramurals and Recreation Program is a vital part of campus life at the
University. Individuals and teams participate in a wide variety of competitive
sports and special events. Intramurals encourage cooperation, good sportsmanship,
and physical fitness.
For those students, faculty, and staff interested in pursuing less organized
recreational activities, the University Center recreation areas (multipurpose
gymnasium, free weight room, and racquetball/wallyball courts) and the University
swimming pool maintain open recreation hours for drop-in use. Sand volleyball
courts, horseshoe pits, tennis courts, disc golf course, basketball goals, and
intramural playing fields provide ample opportunity for outdoor recreation.
Participation in intramural sports and recreation programs is completely
