The Drexel Recreational Athletics Office provides opportunities for the campus community and members to participate in both open ("user driven") and structured exercise programs and activities in the Recreation Center and the Daskalakis Athletic Center. All participation is voluntary and participants assume all risks when they take part in any activity. It is responsibility of all participants to verify their own health, accident and injury insurance status and to consult a physician prior to participation as necessary as the University does not provide health, accident and injury insurance for recreational activities.

In addition, we ask that participants report to any concerns to Recreation Center staff such as:

• Unsafe facilities
• Out of order equipment
• Any leaks or spills
• A member who is not feeling well, or having difficulty performing an activity
• A member who is engaging in an unsafe activity
• Any potential concerns you may have, so that we may investigate.

Should an injury occur in the facility and/or during participation in any program, a facility manager will make arrangements for emergency transportation when appropriate. In case of facility emergency, fire alarm or the like, all facility users are to exit at nearest exit sign immediately.

This brochure is meant to provide a basic overview of area policies in our facilities that are formulated to ensure a safe, secure and comfortable facility for campus recreation experience. We reserve the right to add, delete or adapt a policy for the best interest of participant safety and facility management. Any questions, please contact Dan Simmons, the Associate Athletic Director for Recreational Athletics at 215-895-2025 or des26@drexel.edu.
