Sport Clubs
Texas A&M sport clubs association EST. 1974: OVER 40 YEARS OF SPORT CLUBS AT TEXAS A&M The Texas A&M Sport Clubs Association provides the opportunity to compete against clubs from other collegiate institutions at the state, regional, or national level in 36 different sports, and allows members to learn or enhance their skills in a recreational setting. Each club is administered by students, has practice times and facilities, and receives some monetary support. To help subsidize the cost of travel and equipment, clubs may charge dues and participate in fund-raising activities.
While the Sport Clubs staff and the Department of Recreational Sports assist clubs in securing needed funds, facilities and equipment, the emphasis is on student leadership and development. Students are directly responsible for all aspects of operating and managing a successful, competitive organization. As a result, Sport Clubs present a unique opportunity for students to develop both athletic and leadership abilities.
Since 1974, the Sport Clubs program has captured over 230 overall team and single-event national championships and hundreds of conference championships. For more information, the names of current club representatives, and Sport Clubs event schedules, visit the Sport Clubs Office in the Rec Center (room 250), call 979.862.1996, e-mail sportclubs@rec.tamu.edu, or visit our website at recsports.tamu.edu.

EXPANSION
Rec Expansion/Renovation Since the opening of the Student Recreation Center more than twenty years ago, the Texas A&M student body has increased by twenty-five percent and continues to grow substantially. With an average of over 1.2 million entries per year, the Rec Center has essentially operated at capacity from the beginning. In order to address this problem and accommodate a larger portion of the student body, Rec Sports has embarked upon an extensive expansion/renovation of the Rec Center. The $55 million expansion/renovation project includes 120,000 square feet of new construction, which will increase the size of the Rec Center to over 400,000 square feet. This includes 56,000 square feet of renovation to existing space. The project is being funded without an increase in the Recreational Sports fee!
New gymnasium
We’re in the home stretch! The expansion/renovation project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2016. Upon completion, the Texas A&M Student Recreation Center will be among the nation’s top collegiate recreational facilities. The Rec Center will remain open throughout construction, and interruption to member access should be minimal.

EXPANSION fall 2016 Updates Weight & Fitness Room The new weight room space will increase from 14,500 square feet to just over 30,000 square feet. The free weight area will be 10,000+ square feet, the selectorized/machine strength equipment area will be approximately 5,500 square feet, and the cardio equipment area will house over eighty pieces of cardio equipment. Inside the weight and fitness room will be a small, indoor turf area for warm-up, movement training, and stretching. A personal and small group training suite will be located in the room that will be used for personal training sessions and new small group training programs that will be offered once the expansion is complete. In addition, new restrooms will be located in the front entrance of the space.
weight room expansion
New Gymnasium This new space will provide two new basketball courts that can be converted into four volleyball courts, six badminton courts, or an indoor soccer court. Activity/Fitness Space This space will include two new activity/fitness rooms that are approximately 2,000 square feet each; a 3,500 square foot event room that will be available for department activities, programming, fitness classes and meeting room space; a 6,000 square foot event room that will be used for banquets and large presentations; and a smaller meeting room for approximately eighty people that will be used for student staff and department meetings. The 6,000 square foot room will have the option to be divided into two 3,000 square foot rooms. All rooms will include up-to-date audio and/or visual equipment. We will also have a 1,200 square foot heavy bag room that will be used for boxing technique, with three heavy bags and three or four speed bags that will be used for high intensity training.
Interior finishes
Outdoor Plaza A new plaza will be created to provide a shaded lounge area for students and will include outdoor furniture, outdoor kitchen space, and additional restrooms. The 16,000 square foot plaza will be located directly on the roof of the expanded weight and fitness room. Indoor Lap Pool The new lap pool will feature an 8-lane, 25-yard shallow water pool, providing another option for our members and guests to meet their swimming workout needs. This pool will be an essential resource for all swimming activities, including swimming classes for the Kinesiology Department and Rec swim for our members and guests, especially when we host large swim meets. Completion Dates All construction is expected to be complete during the fall 2016 semester. As individual spaces are completed, they will be made available for use by our students and members. Please visit www.recsports4u.com for the latest updates.
