UWL Rec Sports

Rec Sports is one of the most popular programs on campus, consistently having 85% of the student body participate in one or more of our programs, compared to the national average of 70%.  

 

Our department consists of 10 programs:  1) indoor climbing; 2) sport clubs; 3) fitness programs;  4) informal recreation; 5) instructional programs; 6) intramural sports; 7) Outdoor Connection gear rental and trips; 8) special events and 9) Fitness Center and 10) EZONE Esports & Gaming.  

 

Rec Sports is the largest student employer on campus with over 150 student employees serving in a variety of positions including customer service representatives, intramural supervisors, promotions, events supervisors, building managers, climbing wall staff, outdoor connection staff, lifeguards, intramural officials and intramural score keepers.
