Life’s about balance-get out and get active!  The Recreation Department here at WestConn is dedicated to providing the campus community with a multitude of various recreational activities to encourage physical fitness and promote a positive well-being. 

Our university is unique in that the Western community can utilize athletic facilities on two different campuses.  At Midtown you will find the Bill Williams Gymnasium for aerobics and fitness classes, and the fitness room for cardio workouts and strength training.  Our Westside campus is home to the William A. O’Neill Athletic and Convocation Center, which houses a six-lane natatorium, a four-lane indoor track, four full courts for basketball and volleyball, and a fitness center for cardio and strength training.  Also located here is the Westside Athletic Complex, three spacious practice fields and six lighted tennis courts.  And inside the Westside Campus Center is a fitness room mainly focused on cardio fitness and core strength training.

Participation of ALL skill levels is encouraged, as this will help to increase the variety of activities offered.  A strong emphasis on friendly competition and having fun exists, which will help to create an enjoyable campus life.  More than just a game, intramural sports let you build friendships, strengthen your mind & body, develop your character and nurture your skills. 

The Intramural Program is open to all current Western students, faculty, staff and alumni.  Play Hard and Have Fun!

Active Club Sports...Spring 2013

The Club Sports Program provides an opportunity for individuals who share a common interest in a recreational sport, to improve their skill level and overall knowledge of the sport or activity.  Club Sports can be organized on either a recreational or a competitive level.  Instructional activities range from informal play, to regular practices, in preparation for intercollegiate and tournament competition.  Many clubs compete with other schools and are a part of a collegiate league of play.

Active Sports Clubs ...Spring 2013

  • Quidditch

  • Grappling

  • Winter Guard

  • Running

Any individual seeking information on any of these programs can contact Amy Shanks, Assistant Director of Student Life/Student Activities at 837-8609.
