NSU Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center (WRAC)

The purpose of the Intramural Sports Program at Northwestern State University is to provide exercise, recreation, and fun to our participants in a relaxed, yet structured environment. Intramural sports enhance the academic experience by promoting and reinforcing teamwork and personal accomplishment, mutual respect, and integrity, competition and recreation, as well as skill and exercise. Everyone is encouraged to play to the best of their abilities and compete within all rules.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in intramural sports at NSU. Basketball, Pickleball, Softball, Badminton and more are available. Take a look at the intramurals scheduled here.

The NSU Wellness, Recreation, Activity Center (WRAC) provides a healthy and motivating environment where our patrons can comfortably interact with one another and enjoy the many fitness, leisure, competition, and wellness programs available. The 88,000 square foot facility opened in 2005 and is one of the premier recreational facilities in Louisiana.

The WRAC features two large gymnasiums, three state-of-the-art racquetball courts, group exercise class space, free-weight and strength training areas, as well as cardio machines and an indoor jogging track.

A Club Sport is a student organization designed to serve student interests in different sports at the Non-NCAA level. These sports can be competitive or recreational. Clubs compete with other clubs, organizations, colleges, and universities. Financial commitments are met primarily through student sponsored fund-raising events. Each club is student initiated and administered. Sport clubs operate within the Office of Student Activities and Organizations and report directly to the assistant director of club sports.
