STATEMENT ON DIVERSITYThe Division of Recreational Sports embraces the University’s diverse campus culture by welcoming all ideas and perspectives, and by placing a high value on the dignity and personal growth of each individual. Recreational Sports is part of a Student Affairs community that enriches the learning environment by fostering diversity and practicing inclusiveness. The Division’s programs, services and facilities strive to provide meaningful opportunities to exchange ideas and explore differences in a respectful environment. RecSports welcomes individual expression and endeavors to create an atmosphere where human understanding, civility, and mutual respect are valued and demonstrated.

The Division of Recreational Sports has been a part of campus life at The University of Texas at Austin since 1916, making it one of the oldest collegiate recreational sports programs in the country. What began as Men’s Intramurals nearly a century ago has grown and evolved to become one of the largest and most comprehensive university recreational programs in the nation. More importantly, it has become an integral part of the Longhorn experience and has earned a reputation as one of the most popular programs on campus.

Today's Recreational Sports program serves as a member of the Division of Student Affairs. The program attracts approximately 85 percent of undergraduate students, along with thousands of faculty, staff and associate members, who accumulate over 3.5 million hours of participation each year. Additionally, 98 percent of students agree that they would recommend Recreational Sports participation to others.

Providing opportunities for students to enhance their academic experience through recreational activities is a primary goal of the Division. Recreational Sports meets this goal by providing eight quality facilities, consisting of over 500,000 square feet of indoor and 40 acres of outdoor space, and a wide-range of leisure-time activities offered through six program areas (Facilities and Programs listed on right). Together, Facilities and Programs provide an enriching recreational experience for students and members alike.

Building community on the 40 Acres is another major goal for the Division of Recreational Sports. Toward this end, the Division collaborates year-round with UT colleges and university departments to host various special events at Recreational Sports facilities including college convocations, career fairs, receptions, orientations, dances, sports tournaments, fundraisers and much more. These collaborations enable Recreational Sports to create a sense of community for a 350-acre main campus with 21,000 faculty and staff, 17 colleges and schools and more than 50,000 students.

In its ninth decade, Recreational Sports continues to maintain a strong commitment to enriching the lives of students outside of the classroom and building community for the benefit of today’s Longhorns and the generations to follow.

“Thank you for hosting our Alumni College participants at Gregory Gym for the opening dinner. Everyone enjoyed the tours and seeing the wonderful amenities the gym has to offer the students. We can’t thank you enough for all you did this year. You and your team were enthusiastic, positive, and all around great to work with on this event.”

“On behalf of the Texas MBA Program and the McCombs School of Business, I would like to personally thank you and your outstanding staff for your assistance in coordinating the Texas MBA Convocation ceremony held in Gregory Gym. Our venue has not been assigned for the 2011 convocation, but we know there is no staff that can provide this level of service, for this size of an event, so seamlessly. In keeping with recent years, we hope to be back on the Gregory Gym list for next year.”

PURPOSE HIGHLIGHTS

GOALS

Education Through Recreation • Continuing a University Tradition

“Having a softball team has really helped bring together graduate students in the Government Department.When you're working on a dissertation, it's so easy to lose touch with colleagues. We always have a greattime playing ball together, and we thank you for providing equipment checkout as well (many of us are too broke to buy our own mitts!).”

“Intramurals keeps me sane in college. When I'm stressed about tests or assignments, it is a great release knowing that I have a game to look forward to.”

“It was a great extracurricular activity to have in my collegiate days. I always looked forward to signing up for a sport every semester and I would recommend everyone to participate in it.”

The Intramural Program provides competitive and recreational sport leagues,

tournaments and special events that foster leadership, sportsmanship and education.

• Offers employment opportunities and officials training where UT students develop

essential job skills.

• Provides opportunities for building camaraderie and lifelong friendships.

• Encourages sportsmanship among peers during competitive sport contests.

• Encourages participation regardless of skill level.

• Realized the largest number of outdoor soccer teams

in the history of the program (213).

• Increased overall major team sport entries from

previous year.

• Conducted a pilot satisfaction survey for all

intramural team captains.

• Hired a graduate assistant to work specifically with

the Intramural Sports Program.

• Improved customer service and office productivity by

developing and implementing a Web-based player

database.

“I play intramurals because I love sports, and more importantly, I love playing sports with my friends. It allows us to always have a set time where we get to go out there every week and hang out with each other, despite the fact that everyone is always busy with school, work and organizations.”

“I enjoy intramurals because it gives me the opportunity to compete. Not everyone is fortunate enough to play college sports, so the Intramural Program is a great way for students to keep doing the thingsthey love to do.”

“Intramurals helps the student organizations I’m involved with unite and work together better in our meetings during the year.”

PURPOSE

GOALS

HIGHLIGHTS

• Realized a 28 percent increase in total number of

participants in the Adventure Trip Program.

• Through Guide School, staff training and recruiting,

solidified a core group of 10 guides to serve as trip

leaders for the Adventure Trip Program.

• Doubled the number of courses offered in the

Wilderness Leadership Training Program resulting in

a 102 percent increase in income.

• Completed the transition of the Rental Center

inventory to Mountain Hardwear, Inc. products.

Comprised of Adventure Trips, Wilderness Leadership, the Climbing Wall and the

Rental Center, the Outdoor Recreation Program facilitates the development of

character and leadership in students through participation in adventure experiences.

• Teach students how to participate in wilderness recreation ethically and

responsibly.

• Foster and encourage an appreciation and a sense of responsibility to nature and

the outdoors.

• Serve as the leader in providing the campus community with service learning

opportunities that incorporate recreation and community service.

“Guide School really got me excited about outdoor education. I feel like I learned a lot about decision making and how important judgment is in the back country. I loved how we were given quite a bit of responsibility and got to make several important decisions while being leader of the day.”

“For now, I know and feel that my life and I have been impacted significantly and positively. For one, I feel that I know and understand myself better. Secondly, I think that my life goals are clearer. Thirdly, the culmination experience put things in perspective and lastly, it opened up a new "door" in my life (guiding and outdoor education) that I am eager and excited to enter. Overall, I truly enjoyed it, learned a ton, and had a lot of fun!”

“I got interested in climbing in the first place because of the wall, and now I love climbing. I am a happier person today because of what the wall introduced me to.”

“While I’ve learned much in my courses and my experiences through my undergraduate work, Guide School gave me an opportunity to discover much of what my other classes did not. I’ve learned about teamwork, leadership, and my strengths as well as my weaknesses throughout the two months I went through Guide School.”

“The best part of my adventure trip experience was being in the outdoors and isolated from everything. It took me out of my everyday habits and into something completely new to me.”

FITNESS/WELLNESS: 2009-2010

• Realized a 16 percent growth in income from

previous year.

• Celebrated National Employee Health & Fitness Day

at the 19th Annual Poker Walk with 1,250

participants.

• Hosted several certification and continuing education

workshops for current staff and the campus

“TeXercise is what helped me to make exercising an essential part of my life. I learned how exercising can be so much fun through these classes and with the help of our young and energetic instructors. Now, I feel stronger and healthier. Thanks a bunch.”

“My story--I have lost about 20 pounds this semester and cycling class has been the foundation of my exercise program. Feeling good about health and fitness also gave me the confidence to ride 45 miles in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS.”

“I had been a runner, but injured myself. Following this, I tried swimming and other forms of exercise, but

could not find anything that was as fun and challenging. I signed up for a TeXercise pass and started

taking yoga classes. I find them challenging both mentally and physically. There are a lot of classes

available and I can usually fit them into my schedule. Even now that I have recovered from my running

injury, I continue going to the yoga classes. I find that it is a nice balance to my workout.”

“I had never taken yoga before coming to UT in the fall but it increased my mental health as well as my physical health tremendously.”

“I started out this semester hoping to meet some fitness goals which would not have been possible without this program. I hope to continue with this until I graduate. It has really made me the realize the benefits of a regular fitness regime.”

“I came back to UT after the birth of my third child with an extra 10 pounds. I was ready to reclaim my body. I credit the classes in Fit/Well with enabling me to do that. They are fun and the instructors are very good. I also used the information on nutrition that was provided during events at Gregory Gym. It’s been three years and I have not gained back the 10 pounds I lost. I credit the program with helping me maintain my weight and giving me a positive release from stress. Thanks!”

PURPOSE

GOALS

HIGHLIGHTS

• Evaluated and revised the student travel policy

regarding driver and employment requirements.

• Reorganized club representative meeting structure to

better address the needs of each club.

• In support of sustainability initiatives, provided all

club forms and handbooks in digital format for club

officers to more easily access documents.

• Hosted U.S. Handball Association’s National

Handball Championships in June 2010, which

involved approximately 400 participants and included

many of the world’s top ranked players.

The Sport Club Program provides opportunities for students to participate in

recreational and competitive non-varsity sports with an emphasis on

leadership development.

• Develop effective leaders through Sport Club representative positions.

• Encourage a sense of community that promotes teamwork, skill

development and lifelong friendships.

• Advise student representatives and provide resources and workshops for

the effective administration of each sport club.

• Ensure compliance with RecSports and University risk management and

business practices.

“Managing a student organization is much more difficult than expected because you can never just expect that every single member will follow instructions and communicate effectively. Being a Sport Club representative has pushed me to become a better leader through effective communication and building good relationships.”

“As a Sport Club representative I have learned what it means to take on responsibilities that affect others. It’s been a rewarding experience so far and I feel like I’m more closely connected to my organization.”

“Being the director of the dance team without any outside support from non-student members, I have learned the importance of all themes of management from how to handle miscommunication, to organizing events, to handling students leaving the team. I’ve realized that my role as director can be extremely overwhelming but rewarding when things are successful. I’ve learned a lot about patience, how not to micromanage, and how to have trust that things will go as planned. My experience as director has taught me more valuable lessons than my coursework could have possibly taught me, and I feel that my experience will lead me to be a valuable member of the working community. If I had only my schoolwork on my resumé I would feel less confident about graduating and entering into the working world than I would with this leadership experience on my side.”

“Being in a Sport Club has positively impacted my college experience in that from now on, I will make an effort to be on time, focused and productive in all group settings.”

“I have been a Sport Club representative for two years and have learned much during that time. Especially time management and event planning skills. I have also learned the importance of budgets and how to best function in a team setting.”

development and application of skills.

• Provide affordable emergency response education and training programs to

“I’d had a lifelong fear of putting my face in the water and now I’m learning to swim laps, which is my goal. The structured instruction and patience of the instructors has been most encouraging and I am thankful to them for this positive experience.”

“I learned how to do freestyle and the breast stroke and can now go swimming on my own because of the classes I took.”

“One of the most positive aspects of the class I took was the instructor. The classes were humbling, fun, collegial and the instructor created a very nice community within the class.”

“This camp served as a wonderful way to formally introduce our 6-year-old-son to soccer. He loved the entire experience and I’m sure will enjoy participating again in the future.”

Comprised of soccer, lacrosse and ultimate, the Youth Camp Program provides

community youth with instruction in various sports emphasizing fun and skill

development.

“My two daughters came from Houston with a couple of their teammates and had a great time. They said they learned a lot, thought the coaches were all great and fun, and really enjoyed the whole experience. They are already talking about coming back next year!”

“My child commented about how much fun the soccer-related games and drills were. She felt that the coaches were more fun and more skilled than her league coaches. She had a tough season this spring and is very new to the sport, this camp helped to re-inspire her to continue with soccer. Thanks!”
