RecSports Access Update

Beginning July 1, 2024, we are updating our membership options and prices for non-student users. With these changes, non-student users will have the opportunity to access all of our recreational facilities and programs with a membership - elevating the overall recreational experience and ensuring students will no longer bear the burden of subsidizing non-student access. This change will allow us to create an environment where everyone contributes and engages in lifelong wellbeing.

RECSPORTS POLICIES

The Department of Recreational Sports receives the majority of its funding from Activity and Service (A&S) fees paid out by students upon enrollment in classes at the University of Florida. These policies protect the interests of fee-paying students. UF students, staff and faculty are members of the RecSports Board of Directors that approve these policies.
