In addition, several physical fitness classes, will be available. These activities are all part of the NIH's commitment to the HealthierFeds Initiative and support of the Administration's efforts to increase Federal employees' wellness and physical fitness activities.

To register for either of the Three-on-Three Basketball Tournaments, fitness classes, or obtain additional information, please follow the steps below. It is highly recommended that you register early for the Tournament. Due to time constraints, enrollment will be limited to the first 32 teams to register and 3 teams on the waiting list. For most of us, entering the campus is a quick process that we have become accustomed to. Others, such as new employees and visitors accidentally attempting to enter employee gates may be unfamiliar with the requirements of using a specific entrance. However, many complaints arise from distracted or inattentive individuals not ready to use their NIH Identification (NIH ID) Card once they reach the gate.

On a normal business day, there are seven vehicle gates allowing employee access to campus. Locations and operating hours can be found at: http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/maps/Pages/Employee-Access-Map.aspx. Most of these gates are located in close proximity to parking garages or allow for faster access to specific buildings. Each entrance operates on a specific schedule. Employee entrances also require the official NIH ID to be displayed when using these gates. Employees may use any open employee gate to enter and exit the campus.
