Choose a Service

Good news! If you're a full-time, on-campus student at Íæż½ã½ã, you're already a Rec Sports member. LIT students will need to add the fee to their account to have access.  We also have memberships available for faculty, staff, alumni, and others in the Íæż½ã½ã/LIT communities.

Membership has its perks! Once you become a Rec Sports Member, you'll have access to a wide range of services, from locker rentals to equipment checkout, group fitness classes, and more.
