UCSB Recreational Sports facilities student directed programs that are participants focused and are fun, safe, inclusive, accessible, challenging and motivating. These programs exist to enhance the quality of life on campus and to emphasize a well-rounded educational experience balancing one's physical, social, mental and emotional well being. These programs include Sport Clubs, Intramural Sports, Adventure Programs, Open Recreation, and Special Events. In addition to providing fun, fitness, and friendship for participants, our programs are used as a vehicle for student development. Our programs encourage teamwork, leadership, and social responsibility. When included as part of an individual's general educational experience, these skills will ultimately prepare students for their future in our diverse society. With this philosophy in mind, our goal is to empower 100% of the students at UCSB toward a healthy lifestyle by participating in our programs. Interest, not skill, is the only prerequisite for participation.
