What We Do
The Department of Recreational Sports recognizes that our community extends beyond our students, faculty, and staff, to the families, friends, alumni and neighbors of the university. To serve the diverse recreational needs of the entire community, the Age Group and Camps (AGAC) program offers a variety of community programs and services for everyone from infants to seniors.
The Adapted Recreational Sports (ARS) program in the Department of Recreational Sports at The Ohio State University offers the opportunity to remain physically active, to connect with others, and to explore new challenges. Fifty-four million people with disabilities reside in the United States, making it the country's largest minority group. The Ohio State University population includes 2,000 students identifying themselves as having a disability. There are also another 10,000 students who, according to current statistics, populate our campus with unreported disabilities.
The Ohio State University has a rich history of innovative programs for individuals with disabilities. Due to the diverse student population at Ohio State, the Department of Recreational Sports, a member of the Office of Student Life, has made a commitment to serving people with disabilities through the Adapted Recreational Sports (ARS) program.
Inclusion is the anchor component of the ARS program philosophy. The focus is to promote "wellness for everyone" while serving our members.
Our goal is to enhance independence and inclusion for individuals with disabilities through recreation and physical activity. We offer customized programming to meet your needs including a new stretching program and outdoor adventure activities to increase your strength, flexibility, and endurance.
Consultations Available
Set up a one-to-one consultation with the ARS coordinator or supervisor to find out about all of the recreational opportunities available to your individual needs (Rec Sports members only, which includes fee paying students). Contact us to learn more.
