New at Rec Sports

New ways to recreate!

Intramural ESports

Intramural Sports is one of the most communal and important parts of Rec Sports, so a pandemic wasn’t going to stop a little friendly competition—virtually, of course. In the spring of 2020, Rec Sports launched ESports, which is “something that had been on the radar for some time,” says Kaulin Andric, Intramural Sports coordinator. The launch of ESports was a new way students could still compete, even if it was virtual. Rec Sports opened up this method of competition to anyone with an IMLeagues account who had already purchased their pass with Intramural Sports. ESports offers games like Madden, NHL, Fortnite, and many more. Implementing ESports was a great way to keep Aggies involved in the Rec Sports community. Even though Intramural Sports has returned to regularly scheduled programming, ESports will be sticking around for the time being. Log on and get to playing, Ags!

Virtual Fitness

Group exercise made its way into Aggies' homes in 2020 in order to offer a way to stay active while following COVID-19 guidelines. Live fitness classes with Rec Sports fitness instructors became one of Rec Sports' greatest offerings. Students who purchased a Group RecXercise All Access Pass for the semester were able to attend any and all classes that were offered virtually. This allowed students to maintain their activity, even from home. Many Aggies enjoyed the community and opportunity to stay healthy during the stay-at-home order. Today, Aggies are enjoying the opportunity to attend in-person group fitness classes again. However, Rec Sports continues to offer a few classes on demand via YouTube for easier access at any time of the day.
