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

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 the orientation meeting for the sport you may be interested in. GIG’EM AGGIES!

REC GUIDE 07
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 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 singleevent 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 sportclubs@rec.tamu.edu or visit our website at recsports.tamu.edu.

Expansion update As the student body continues to grow, so does the Student Recreation Center and the Department of Recreational Sports. Although record breaking rainfall caused some issues in the spring, the summer was smooth sailing and allowed the renovation and expansion to progress exponentially. Currently, on the south side of the building, the roof deck is being completed for the new gymnasium. With great progress, an enclosed gym is starting to form, and once the roof deck is complete we will begin interior work. On the north side, the weight room expansion and second level plaza are finally beginning to take shape. Second floor columns will be going up soon for the plaza near the north side entrance. The lighting retrofit and reroofing should be complete by the beginning of the fall semester. The Rec has gone green, replacing all the lights with efficient LEDs and repairing our original roofing for better insulation, less leaks, and a renewed warranty. All usual areas of the Rec will be available for use during the fall semester, but no new openings will be occurring. To access the outdoor pool, be sure to use the west entrance. Want to know more about the Rec Sports expansion? Get the latest updates at www.recsports4u.com!

plaza & Weight room Construction
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. The expansion and renovation project is scheduled to be complete in April 2016. Upon completion, the Rec Center will be among the nation’s top collegiate recreational facilities.
14 REC GUIDE
@recsports
Rec Center Expansion facts Since the opening of the Student Recreation Center almost twenty years ago, the Texas A&M student body has increased by twentyfive 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 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!
Specific improvements to the facility: 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 as agility and speed work, plyometrics, body weight and core training exercises. 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. 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. 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. Lighting Retrofit All light fixtures will be replaced throughout the facility to improve light efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Fitness Assessments
Weight and Fitness Room
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. To register for personal training services, visit the Member Services Desk or call 979.862.7443.
Wondering just how fit you are? Let one of our personal trainers complete a personal fitness assessment with you. Our integrated fitness assessment includes mobility and stability screening as well as measuring body fat percentage, circumferences, resting heart rate, blood pressure, muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. This assessment will serve as the foundation upon which a program focusing specifically on your individual needs and goals can be designed.
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. Members of our Strength & Conditioning staff are always present and willing to assist you. So, if you have any questions or need some guidance, just ask!
