Why should your institution become a NIRSA Member?
Recreational sports has experienced phenomenal growth in the last twenty years. Nationally, the areas of fitness, informal and outdoor recreation, intramurals, instructional programs, sport clubs and wellness impact millions of people every day. As a result of such growth, facility design, construction and management, long range planning, budget preparation, issues of legal liability and administration are increasingly top of mind issues for institutions and professionals in the field of recreational sports.
Balancing programming needs, along with the inevitable fiscal constraints that exist today, requires the effort of informed, highly trained professionals. NIRSA can assist you in the recruitment, education and continuing development of quality recreational sports professionals.
