How to sign up a team

of the Student Recreation Center. Registration times are listed on the calendar of events. Each team or individual must complete the entry card available in the lobby. You must provide the name of a captain with his/her UIN, phone number and e-mail address. Each captain must be a member of the team and will automatically be placed on the roster. You will also need an alternate captain’s (team manager) name, phone number, and e-mail address if signing up for a team sport.

League Format and Days of play

Most team sports are divided into three divisions: Men’s, Women’s and CoRec. Those divisions are then subdivided into two classes: Competitive and Recreational. A team may sign up in the division that fits the style of team they are forming.

Competitive is described as most team members being moderately to highly skilled players in the sport. Recreational is designed to be geared more toward novice to moderately skilled athletes in the respective sport. When signing up, you will choose the day of play for your regular season games. All three of your season games will generally be played on the same day and time that you sign up for. At the completion of the regular season, all teams will then advance to a single elimination tournament where days of play may change. Individual and dual sports, along with tournaments, vary in competition format. Contact the intramural office for more information.

Eligibility

In order to participate in intramural sports, a person must be a Rec member. This includes all Texas A&M students who have signed up for classes and paid the required Rec Sports fee, as well as faculty/staff who have purchased a semester or yearly Rec Sports membership. Monthly, weekly, and/or daily passes to the Rec Center do not count as memberships and do not serve as a way to participate in intramural sports. Eligible participants may only participate on one (1) single gender and one (1) CoRec team in each sport.

Captain’s information

Captains are responsible for all operations of their team. If you choose to serve as captain, please make sure that you are able to communicate with your team. The captain will need to communicate all information provided by the intramural office, understand the policies and procedures of intramural sports, complete required captain’s quizzes, promote good sportsmanship for his/her team, check game updates and playoff brackets to know when the team plays, and take responsibility for all defaults and/or forfeits his/her team incurs.

climbing INSTRUCTION

If you’ve never climbed our indoor climbing wall before, we recommend you come in for an orientation class. Learn everything you need to know to climb safely. Belaying skills, knots, commands, safety tips, equipment usage and more.

Orientation classes are taught Monday through Friday at 4pm and 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.

instructors for an indoor climbing facility, this 20-hour training covers the basics of risk management, observation and intervention skills, and focuses on providing quality instruction of climbing skills. 5.8 climbing ability is required along with several years of climbing experience or an intense amount of experience over the last 3 months. Lead climbing ability is preferred but not required. Full certification will be issued to everyone that meets all assessment criteria. Class limit is 12.

1-on-1 Lessons

Rock Climbing 101 Clinic: An Intro to Climbing

Climbing Basics Orientation Classes

If you want to take your climbing to the next level through working with one of our certified climbing instructors, then this class is for you. These 1.5-hour sessions are designed to be whatever you need them to be. We have worked with climbers on movement technique, strength building, climbing endurance and technical skill. Plan a 1-on-1 session if you are ready to get serious about improving your climbing skills!

Even with no experience, you can join us for an introduction to the exciting sport of rock climbing. This four-hour course covers basic knots and rope handling techniques, protection and belaying systems and a variety of climbing movement techniques.

After successful completion of the skills check, you will be eligible to purchase a climbing pass to use the facility.

Climbing for Fitness (Specialty Class)

Yoga and climbing are the perfect match, so why not learn them both in one class? Climbing applies the same balance, core strength, flexibility and focus on breathing that Yoga teaches.

Blending beginning level climbing movement with introductory yoga, each week participants will be introduced to progressively challenging movement and technique in both disciplines.

Whether you are new to both disciplines, a climber looking to improve balance and flexibility, or a non-climber looking to try a new twist on fitness in a non-competitive, non-intimidating environment, this is the class for you!

Lead Climbing Clinic

CUSTOM CLINICS

It’s more than just a monolith in the middle of the Rec; the Indoor Climbing Facility is your next fitness tool. Even if you’ve never climbed before, our certified instructors will teach you the basics then begin using your climbing skills to get you in shape.

This class blends traditional floor exercises with climbing to give you a full-body workout. Different weeks will focus on improving endurance, strength, balance and movement. Once you’re finished with this class, you’ll have the skills you need to make rock climbing the next tool in your overall fitness arsenal.

Once you’ve mastered top rope climbing, your next step is the more advanced skill of lead climbing. This skill set answers the question, “How do they get the ropes up there in the first place?”

We’ll show you how to do it and make sure you’re safe. This skill set is a must for taking your own trips climbing outdoors. Learn the advanced techniques involved in lead climbing, including knots, clipping, how to belay a leader, and the physics of falling.

PREREQUISITES: Current rock wall skills check and the ability to consistently top rope climb multiple routes at grade 5.9+ or higher. Class limit 9.

SPORT CLUBS

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.
