Seton Hall Recreation & Fitness
Seton Hall Recreational Services
The Recreational Services program is designed to provide members of the University community opportunities to participate in a variety of athletic activities. These activities encompass team and individual sports, as well as informal programs. Current recreational opportunities include intramurals, club sports, and open recreation. In addition to the obvious benefit of physical fitness, participants also improve skills, establish friendships and develop lifelong leisure time habits. The Richie Regan Recreation & Athletics Center on the Seton Hall campus serves as the home to the Recreational Services program.

Intramurals
Intramurals are organized sports leagues made up of Seton Hall students. They provide an opportunity to get involved, have fun, and exercise. To meet the varied skill levels of participants, tournaments offer different divisions from a competitive atmosphere to a more low-key, fun environment; there is something for everyone. The winners of each event are awarded a championship shirt for that sport.

Open Recreation & Building Hours
Open Recreation provides a recreational outlet for individuals who wish to participate in a less structured, non-tournament form of play. Students who choose to utilize the many wellness offerings at the Recreation Center will find the opportunities to be spiritual, as well as vital to good health. Playing pick-up basketball, volleyball, or soccer may be your choice. If not burn a few calories in the Fitness Center or try out pickleball or corn hole. You'll find just about everything going on inside the Rec Center.Â
