INTRAMURALS #GetFitChallenge
INTRAMURAL OFFICIALS Intramural Sports is HIRING!
Interested in becoming an intramural official? You will make new friends, work flexible hours, earn money, and most importantly, you never have to work a Friday or Saturday. Each year, the intramural department hires over 300 student officials for the intramural program. Officials in each sport go through a paid training program. Training occurs over a two-week period before play begins and includes classroom sessions along with on-site clinics. In the classroom, sports rules and officiating techniques are discussed and reviewed. The clinics consist of veteran officials demonstrating proper court/field coverage and scrimmage games. Please come to one of the following information sessions in room SRC 281 for the sport you may be interested in officiating.

REC GUIDE 13
REC CENTER Since the opening of the Student Recreation Center almost 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 $54 million expansion/renovation project includes 113,000 square feet of new construction, which will increase the size of the Rec Center by twenty-five percent, and 56,000 square feet of renovation. The project is being funded without an increase in the Recreational Sports fee!
• Second Entrance: An additional entrance will be built on the south side of the facility, facing Olsen Field. • Outdoor Plaza: An outdoor plaza will be constructed on top of the expanded weight and fitness room and will include a large patio with outdoor kitchen facilities. • Additional Pool: An eight-lane, twenty-five-meter indoor lap pool will be added to reduce scheduling conflicts with aquatic events in the natatorium. • Natatorium Renovation: Retrofitting of all mechanical components, as well as cosmetic upgrades including new tile, paint, lighting, bleachers, etc. will be completed.
Specific improvements to the facility include:
• Lighting Retrofit: All light fixtures will be replaced throughout the facility to improve light efficiency and reduce energy costs.
• Increased Strength & Conditioning Space: The size of the current weight room, which houses both strength and cardio equipment, will be doubled and will include the addition of a personal training suite and an indoor turf area for movement training such agility and speed work, plyometrics, bodyweight and core training exercises.
Although the Rec Center will remain open throughout the expansion process and interruption to member access should be limited, some facilities and programs may be unavailable at times.
• Additional Gymnasium: The addition of a new gymnasium will increase open-recreation opportunities by adding multi-use court space that can accommodate 2 basketball courts, 4 volleyball courts and 1 soccer court.
The expansion and renovation project is scheduled to be complete in January 2016. Upon completion, the Rec Center will be among the nation’s top collegiate recreational facilities.
• New Activity Rooms: Three new activity rooms will be added to provide additional space for Group RecXercise classes, Specialty Classes and heavy bag/boxing activities. Two larger, multi-use rooms will be constructed to accommodate student groups and outside events, and a large, auditorium-style meeting room seating approximately 120 will also be added.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING WEIGHT AND FITNESS ROOM
Due to the expansion and renovation of our main strength and conditioning space, the weight and fitness room is now located on courts 1 & 2 in the Student Recreation Center. Although the situation is not optimal, we assure you that we have done our best to set up this temporary location to accommodate our members’ needs! We will still be able to provide almost all of the strength and cardio equipment that was previously located in the weight and fitness room including: a wide variety of cardiovascular equipment, a large free weight area, all of our plate loaded and pin select strength machines, and an area for stability balls, medicine balls, ab/core training, and stretching. Our strength and conditioning staff is always available to help you learn how to properly use the equipment, give you exercise advice, or even give you a spot during a lift. Please feel free to ask our friendly staff members for assistance whenever needed!
PERSONAL TRAINING
Let our nationally-certified personal trainers develop a comprehensive exercise program specifically for you! Our personal trainers can assess your fitness goals, develop a workout plan for you, teach you how to properly perform resistance training and cardiovascular conditioning exercises, and keep you motivated.

EXPANSION & RENOVATION
Our Weight and Fitness Room has been overcrowded for many years. As part of the Rec Center expansion and renovation project, we are addressing this issue. Once the expansion is complete, the Weight & Fitness Room will be more than 32,000 square feet—more than double the size of the old room! The room will include a 10,500-square-foot free weight area, almost double the amount of cardio equipment, an indoor turf area for various activities, a personal training suite, and both women’s and men’s restrooms. Although our current situation is not optimal, some exciting things are about to happen in your Student Recreation Center and we are thrilled to be able to expand and improve our facilities for the Texas A&M community!

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 34 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.
CLUB
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 200 overall team and single-event national championships and hundreds of conference championships.
