RecPlex Policies

  • University-affiliated organizations must first acquire approval from the University Recreation Department before planning an event. Once approval has been granted, a Student Event form must be submitted and approved through Cowbell Connect at least one week before the event’s date.
  • A Facility Usage Agreement must be completed and notarized prior to any event for all non-affiliated individuals and organizations. A link to this packet can be found at the bottom of this page. Events deemed "fundraisers" (i.e. philanthropy events, softball tournaments solely benefitting a personal team, etc.) will not be required to show proof of insurance policies as stated on page 2 of the agreement. All other events, such as sanctioned events or events with the purpose of obtaining profit, must obtain and provide any and all insurance documentation as listed in the packet.
  • A trained staff member of the Department of University Recreation will provide supervision for all events. This person will be certified in the American Red Cross First-Aid and CPR training courses and is also available to provide facility assistance as necessary. He/she will maintain and enforce all Department of University Recreation policies and procedures during the event. Please provide the Department of University Recreation with a schedule of events no later than 2 days prior to the first day of the tournament so we may ensure the gates to the facility are open early enough to allow warm-up before the first round of games each day. Any person entering the facilities without the presence of a Department of University Recreation employee will be charged with trespassing. Also on this date, let us know how frequently you want the fields groomed if at all.
  • All softball competitions must be played using umpires who are sanctioned by a softball governing body. e.g., the Amateur Softball Association.
  • Please be aware that alcohol AND tobacco products are forbidden within the complex. Anyone observed violating this policy will be asked to leave the facility.
  • A deposit of not less than 50% of the user fee is required no later than 1 week prior to the scheduled event. This deposit is non-refundable if the event is canceled.
  • The Department of University Recreation reserves the right to refuse the use of facilities based on any circumstances deemed inappropriate, not in accordance with public and private safety, and/or in violation of departmental policies and procedures.
  • In the event of inclement weather, a representative of the Department of University Recreation will make a decision regarding the condition of the fields and whether or not further play is possible.
  • In the event of cancellation due to inclement weather, every effort will be made to reschedule to a time mutually convenient to all parties involved.
