The Recreation Center and the Kelly Family Sports Center have an abundance of recreational equipment at your disposal.  In order to gain rental access to any of the provided items, you must present a valid GVSU I.D. or Day Pass to a Member Service Desk Representative.  Front Desk personnel will scan your I.D. and then provide you with the given rental item(s) you wish to check out.

 All items MUST be returned within the same day and are not to leave the premises of the facility they are checked out of. (Exceptions to this would include items at the Kelly Family Sports Center which can be used for the outdoor fields and courts).  If items are damaged or not returned, Athletic and Recreation Facilities Management may charge you for a replacement of the item.
