RecPlex Policies

• University affiliated organizations must first acquire approval from the Recreational Sports Department before planning an event. Once approval has been granted, a Student Event form from the Dean of Students office must be obtained along with the RecPlex reservation approval form. Do NOT obtain the Student Event form before completing the RecPlex approval form. The following is a link to the Student Event form from the Dean of Students website:http://www.students.msstate.edu/pdf/activityform1.pdf
• A Facility Usage Agreement must be completed and notarised prior to any event for all non-affiliated individuals and organizations. This packet can be found on the pull down menu below. Events deemed "fundraisers" (i.e. philanthropy events, softball tournaments solely benefitting a personal team, etc.) will not be required to show proof of insurance policies as stated on page 2 of the agreement. All other events, such as sanctioned events or events with the purpose of obtaining profit, must obtain and provide any and all insurance documentation as listed in the packet.
• A trained staff member of the Department of Recreational Sports will provide supervision for all events. This person will be certified in the American Red Cross First-Aid and CPR training courses and is also available to provide facility assistance as necessary. He/she will maintain and enforce all Department of Recreational Sports policies and procedures during the event.
• Please provide the Department of Recreational Sports with a schedule of events no later than 2 days prior to the first day of the tournament so we may insure the gates to the facility are open early enough to allow warm-up before the first round of games each day. Any persons entering the facilities without the presence of a Department of Recreational Sports employee will be charged with trespassing. Also on this date, let us know how frequently you want the fields groomed if at all.
• All softball competition must be played using umpires who are sanctioned by a softball governing body. e.g., the Amateur Softball Association.
• Please be aware that alcohol AND tobacco products are forbidden within the complex. Anyone observed violating this policy will be asked to leave the facility.
• A deposit of not less than 50% of the user fee is required no later than 1 month prior to scheduled event. This does not include concession or supervision fees. The remaining reservation fees including concession and supervision fees will be required upon commencement of the event.
• The Department of Recreational Sports reserves the right to refuse use of facilities based on any circumstances deemed inappropriate, not in accordance to public and private safety, and/or in violation of departmental policies and procedures.
• In the event of inclement weather, a representative of the Department of Recreational Sports will make a decision regarding the condition of the fields and whether or not further play is possible.
• In the event of cancellation due to inclement weather, every effort will be made to reschedule to a time mutually convenient to all parties involved.
• If the event is cancelled by the organizer, a refund of the deposit on the fields is available provided that notice is given two business days prior to the scheduled start of the rental. Any cancellations made after that is not eligible for refund. (e.g., for an event scheduled on a Saturday, notice of cancellation must be given no later than the end of business on Wednesday.)
