Atlanta Recreational Activities
Do you want to participate in any activities sponsored by Mercer Recreational Sports & Wellness Department?
Students can form recreational groups, reserve the gym, and use Rec Sports equipment. a group of students may form a group and use a communication platform (i.e. GroupMe, etc) to add members to their group. Once we have a group, Rec Sports will work with you to reserve space, buy any equipment that we do not already have, and assist you in any way.
Once there are enought people in the group, Rec Sports will publish the organizers contact info and the group info (day, time, location) so that others may join. If you would like to join any of the rec group activities, contact the organizer for details.
If you would like to start a Rec & Sport group for Mercer students, contact Margie Bowen (bowen_mw@mercer.edu) on how to get your group organized and funded.
Send an email to Margie Bowen, bowen_mw@mercer.edu if you are interested in starting any of the following groups:
BOARD GAMES GROUP
No fee to join. Game nights are located upstairs in the lobby of the Sheffield Center and are the 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 7:30pm of every month.
SWIM GROUP
No fee to join. If you were ever a competitive swimmer at any level, and you miss training with others, the swim club will have a coach providing workouts for you with other swimmers. This is for fun and fitness, and is not a "masters" program.
VOLLEYBALL GROUP
No fee to join. Reserve gym space each week (perhaps one late afternoon or evening) and learn how to set up and take down the Schelde volleyball system. Wednesdays are currently open.
BASKETBALL GROUP
No fee to join. The basketball club plays every Tuesday and Thursdays from 5:30-8:30pm. The gym is reserved for pick up basketball at this time.
WALKING GROUP
No fee to join. Organize a group who will be accountable to each other with weekly walks on campus, either on the walking path in front of the Pharmacy building, or around campus, or on the nature trail on the east campus.
