Campus Spotlight: Recreation Services

InfoLink - Fri Sep 14, 2012

Recreation Services are a part of the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities for students on campus, such as intramural sports, group exercise classes, instructional recreation, sports clubs, and various special events.

Some of the special events Recreation Services offers include the Turkey Trot, Sunday Night Drop-in sports (for students and staff), Thriller – U of A United Way Fundraising Campaign, Family Fun Sundays, and many other fundraisers and events. These can all be found on their website, as well students can register for group fitness classes and other sports online or by phone.

We asked Recreation Services what the best part about working for their service is “It’s about getting to do something you love everyday! We are all brought together by the love of sports and recreation, no matter if it is yoga, volleyball, martial arts, ballet, or anything in between. Volunteering for Recreation services is being able to bring together the University community through play.”

Recreation Services offers something for everyone! You can view all their programs online or by picking up an Activity Guide in stands around campus. Recreation Services makes it really easy for students to live healthy, active lifestyles throughout the academic year. They offer many options between, before, or after classes. Students can register online for whatever suits their needs and interests.

Thanks Rec Services!
