This COVID-19 pandemic and its impact is constantly evolving. We are hopeful that we will not need to close our facilities due to the pandemic, and have adopted numerous protocols and procedures in order to create a safe and healthy environment for recreation participation. The State of Colorado Governor’s Office, El Paso County Health Department, or UCCS may mandate a closure, and in those situations we would need to respond appropriately.  

In the situation of a widespread outbreak within our facilities, we may need to close our facilities for a brief period to perform a deep cleaning, but would reopen our facilities as soon as it would be responsibly safe to occur. Let’s all do our part in following our health and safety guidelines so that we can continue to enjoy our recreation!

Intramural sports will be offered this Summer, but program protocols may look a little different than in previous seasons. We plan to offer opportunities in both an in-person and in a remote/virtual format. Stay tuned for more information.

Yes. The Group Fitness team will be bringing you Group Fitness classes in a variety of formats. You can expect to find in-person classes, live classes, recorded classes, and even fitness videos on our IGTV. Follow us on Instagram @UCCSRec. 

While we do have a limited capacity number to abide by, we are willing to try to work with student clubs and organizations on their space needs on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to TJ Peck at recres@uccs.edu for space reservation information.
