The Basler Center for Physical Activity

The primary mission of the Campus Recreation Department at East Tennessee State University is to provide high quality recreational facilities, programs, and services for the entire campus community – students, faculty and staff. The department’s secondary mission is to create a marketable, meaningful work experience for its part-time employees - graduate assistants and student workers.           

Programs are available in five areas: fitness, intramurals, non-credit instruction, outdoor adventure and sports clubs. Facility times are set aside on a daily basis for self-directed recreational activities. Previous athletic experience or high level skills are not prerequisites for becoming involved in some type of physical activity or recreational sport. All programs are voluntary.
