Athletics and Recreation
Athletics and recreation at any level are a big part of life at UVic. Our popular recreational options are designed to suit everyone from competitive athletes to occasional treadmill users and our student varsity teams are some of the best in the country.
Vikes Athletics and Recreation (ATRS) facilities and programs are open to UVic students, staff, faculty and alumni, as well as the local Victoria community and operate out of the state-of-the-art Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities (CARSA). This world-class facility opened in May 2015 and includes:

- two-level fitness weight training area
- Peninsula Co-op Climbing Centre

In addition to sports and recreations, CARSA is also home to CanAssist, which develops technologies, programs and services that help people with disabilities improve their quality of life, and physiotherapy services for the campus and local community through the new Sport Therapy Clinic.
