Bricks or-dered between now and the completion of the Rec construction will be displayed the weekend of graduation inside the lobby to the Student Rec Center. After graduation, all bricks will be stored until construction is finalized, at which time they will be placed into the ground.

expanSiOn updaTeCURReNTly, most of the work being done on the Rec expansion is the drilling and pouring of concrete structural piers. Most of these piers are sixty feet deep to provide the stability that is needed with our “clay” soil. On the south side, “grade beams” are being poured that will connect these piers together to provide the base for the concrete floor. Before we know it, we will start to see concrete pillars and structural beams rising above the ground. This will be a milestone of sorts as we begin to see the structure take shape. More to follow in future editions of the Rec Guide. Keep Rec-ing!

weigHT & FiTneSS room enTrance policieS

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.

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.

For more information, the names of current club representatives, and Sport Club event schedules, visit the Sport Club Office in room 250 of the Rec Center, call 979.862.1996, e-mail [email protected] or visit our website at recsports.tamu.edu.
