Department of Campus Recreation

At the University of West Georgia, Department of Campus Recreation are rooted in the belief that every person has the need and right to wholesome recreation that develops physical, mental, and emotional attributes. Intramural sports are organized activities that allow students, faculty, staff, and family of the UWG community to participate in adventure trips, sports, and recreational activities. These programs promote sportsmanship, fellowship, and lasting friendships.

The university provides an excellent program of year-round intramural activities for both men and women. A variety of team and individual events is scheduled so that every student has the opportunity to participate. Team sports include track, flag football, basketball, soccer, softball and others. Some of the individual sports offered are badminton, horseshoes, tennis, pingpong, billiards and darts.

Outdoor programming is structured to offer students adventure and the opportunity to challenge themselves. Adventure trips include rock climbing, white water rafting, canoeing, backpacking and camping in wilderness areas.

An outdoor recreation center provides various equipment to be checked out to students with their UWG ID card.
