Drop-in

If this isn’t the type of sports activity you were looking for, we also have more options available. Check out other sport offerings.

Vikes Recreation offers limitless possibilities for drop-in fitness and spur-of-the-moment fun.

This schedule designates specific times for drop-in activities. While you are welcome to drop in during times not listed, please be aware that if there is an existing booking not shown here, you may need to relocate to another available space.

All CARSA memberships allow you access to take part in drop-in activities (this includes Base Membership). If you do not have a membership you can still take part by purchasing a drop-in pass. View our drop-in pricing and options.

Drop-in activities are informal and self-organizing with all levels and abilities welcome. If you are looking for something more structured and competitive check out our intramural sports and clubs. Read an explanation of the differences.
