Sports and recreation in Education City plays a critical role in the overall student experience. Intercollegiate competition helps to foster school spirit and pride within individual institutions and recreational activities encourage community building through open participation.
All strive to promote the development of lifelong health and fitness habits, whether you are engaged in individual or team activities that are competitive or recreational in nature.
So, either continue to be active in the sport you love or try something new for the very first time! A listing of recreational activities and events open to all Education City students during the spring semester is available.
Please contact a Recreation Office staff member at 44820517 or 44540768 for more information.
The Student Center also has much to offer - check out their website for more information.
