SPRNG AT REC SPORTS: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW 

For 100 years, Rec Sports has shaped the Aggie experience through fitness and community, and 2026 marks that milestone. Join us as we kick off a century of Rec Sports at Texas A&M with an afternoon dedicated to YOU, our students! 

The event takes place on Wednesday, Jan. 14 from 3-6pm at the Student Recreation Center. You get a chance to win swag, play games and celebrate 100 years of Rec Sports memories. The event is a dedication to all the students, past and present, as a thank-you for being the heart behind what we do. 

Special thanks to The Association of Former Students for their support in making this event possible.

This spring semester gives students the opportunity to enjoy the newly renovated Rec Sports facilities; from the climbing tower and bouldering wall to the upgraded locker rooms and dry saunas. With the dry saunas now officially open, students can escape the cold while giving their bodies and minds a space to relax, reset and recover.
