Minors

Recreational Sports adheres to The Ohio State University's minors policy.  Any non-Ohio State student under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their legal parent or guardian at all times within Recreational Sports facilities when not enrolled in a recreational sports program for youth such as Camp Recky. 

A minor is defined as any individual(s) under the age of 18 or any individual(s) under 21 years old incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical disability who is a participant in a youth activity or program. This does not include persons under the age of 18 while engaged as enrolled students for academic credit at Ohio State.
