The University of Virginia has expanded access to its recreational sports facilities as an added benefit to members of the University community.

Current full-time students, as well as faculty and staff members who are eligible for University benefits, will be able to sponsor one adult (18 years or older) who resides in the same household for a University Recreation membership. All other existing policies related to membership, including family membership, remain unchanged.

The Plus One program was implemented as a result of the 2007 opinion by Virginia Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell. The opinion, which was requested by the University, states  "the University of Virginia is authorized to provide a recreational gym membership to an adult who is not a spouse and who lives in the household of an employee or student."

Proof of age and verification of residence of the Plus One member will be required as part of the Recreational Sports membership application process. The faculty/staff/student member sponsoring the Plus One member must be present at time of purchase! Accepted documents for proof of residence, required for both parties, include:

See our rates page for Plus One member fees.
All Plus One members will be issued Recreational Sports identification cards.
