Office of Recreational Sports

The Office of Recreational Sports is among the most comprehensive campus recreation programs in the country, and plays a vital role within the Notre Dame community.  Nearly 400 programs, including 41 club sports, are offered, providing a broad range of activities to meet the diverse interests of a sports-minded, active student body.  Over 94% of the undergraduate students participate in some form of campus recreation, among the highest participation rates in the nation.

RecSports provides opportunities for competition, fitness and education as well as contributing to the spirit and culture of campus life.  Many programs (interhall football, Bengal Bouts, Late Night Olympics) are steeped in history and tradition.

Emphasis is placed on providing high quality programs, facilities and services in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.

Insurance is required for every student who participates in any RecSports activity.  There are no exceptions.  Insurance coverage may be provided by either personal family insurance or available student insurance.  Note: student insurance does not cover all club sports.  Check with RecSports.

All Recreational and Competitive Activities — A student must complete the "Waiver, Release and Indemnification Agreement" before participating.  Forms are available in the RecSports office which is located in the Rolfs Sports Recreation Center.

Club Sports — Students must complete and return the proper consent forms and provide insurance information to the RecSports Office prior to participating.  It is understood that any student taking part in voluntary RecSports activities agrees to hold the University harmless for any and all liability associated with the student’s participation.
