Facilities

Recreational Sports Center

The Recreational Sports Center (RSC) is considered "home" for Recreational Sports. It is used for all program areas. The RSC houses 4 basketball/6 volleyball/12 badminton courts, aerobics/multipurpose room, 1/8 mile indoor running track, 10 racquetball courts, weight room (free weights/machine weights/cardiovascular equipment), locker rooms, and an equipment check-out area. All these activity areas are available on a drop-in / informal basis during our operational hours. Listed below are the RSC hours of operation by semester.

Located at the corner of Avenue O and 17th Street, the Pritchett Field Complex has two outdoor athletic fields and a 1/4 mile track. The lower field is turfed and lighted. This facility is the home of several of our Club Sports programs, such as Lacrosse, Rugby, and Soccer. Recreational Sports programs and academic classes are given priority for reservations.

University Camp

The University Camp vision is to serve as an introduction to the traditions of service and excellence for many students, faculty and staff. It is a place where groups can escape the confines of campus and venture into nature in order to build relationships, encourage team-building and develop as leaders.

Many years ago, SHSU acquired 345 acres of land on the Trinity River in Walker County, Texas, just 15 miles from Huntsville. The Department of Recreational Sports has since been developing this property into a truly unique treasure for the Sam Houston State community.

We are now at the cusp of bringing something magnificent to Sam Houston State. The University Camp will house a wide variety of programs to the campus community. Many activities will be held here ranging from faculty, staff, and student development programs and orientations, to social gatherings and Alumni events. Our series of high and low rope elements are utilized by campus organizations and departments to develop a better sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
