For Families
Family Programming is an integral part of both the RecSports and University experience. With roots tied deeply to Notre Dame’s mission, Family Programming seeks to meet the recreational needs of Notre Dame’s families in order to help them grow stronger physically, mentally and spiritually.
Even Fridays
One of our main family programs, Even Fridays occurs on the second and fourth Friday of every month. These are traditional family recreation opportunities, such as bowling, swimming, game nights, skating, bike rides, among other seasonal activities. All Even Friday events are from 5:30 - 7:30 PM and designed to reach a wide range of family ages, abilities and interests.
Family FIRST
Family FIRST (Fitness Instruction, Recreation, & Sports Training) are 5 or 6-week class series specifically geared for families. Family FIRST is designed with the fitness needs of familes and mind and encourages parents and children to take part in these activities together.
