Recreational Sports offers facilities on both campuses for your enjoyment: the Cary Street Gym and the MCV Campus Recreation and Aquatic Center, plus the Thalhimer Tennis Center.

Opened in spring 2010, the newly renovated Cary Street Gym includes the 18,000-square-foot fitness center, a rock climbing wall, two pools, racquetball and basketball courts, a track and an aerobics mezzanine.

The MCV Campus Recreation and Aquatic Center provide space for basketball, volleyball, racquetball and other sports. A 25-meter, six-lane pool is available for lap swimming, water basketball and volleyball.

At the Cary Street Gym, badminton is available — along with outdoor lighted basketball courts and a lighted artificial-turf field. Our Outing Rental Center offers equipment such as backpacks, sleeping bags, tents and canoes as well as books, maps, videos and trail guides at affordable rental rates.

VCU Recreational Sports offers something for everyone. Our Fitness and Wellness program focuses on helping students and members reach their fitness potential. Intramurals and sportclubs allow students to join with others who share a common interest and desire to participate in a favorite sport or recreational activity.

Outdoor Adventure Program

Our Outdoor Adventure Program provides a full schedule of day trips and weekend excursions focused on such outdoor activities as camping, kayaking, white-water rafting, canoeing and caving.
