Intramural tournaments and events are scheduled throughout the year for individual, dual, and team participation. The tournaments and events are organized to provide separate competition among coeducational teams, teams for men, and teams for women.
Sport clubs provide an opportunity to participate in a single sport on a continuing basis. Approximately forty clubs, ranging from aikido to lacrosse to sailing, are active each semester.
Outdoor Recreation includes activities such as backpacking, bicycling, camping, canoeing, horseback riding, kayaking, nature hiking, rock climbing, and snow skiing.
Fitness and Wellness opportunities are available through UT Aerobics. Offerings include classes in aerobics, bench, cardiovascular and muscle conditioning, yoga, and martial arts.
In addition to structured sports programs, the division promotes the concept of informal recreational use of athletic facilities through the Open Recreation Program.
A reservation service is available for most activity areas, and facilities are supervised to enhance the enjoyment and safety of participants. Programs, activities, and facilities are open to all students and to faculty members, staff members, and the spouses and children of students, faculty, and staff who purchase membership in the Non-Student Program. Facilities are available to children at designated times only.
The Recreational Sports Center and Gregory Gymnasium offer participants the opportunity to check out sports equipment.
