LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - In today's economy, "free" is a word many people are embracing - particularly families. Fortunately for them, UNLV Athletics has over 115 free entertainment opportunities for children 12-and-under throughout the 2010-11 school year.

Admission to six different UNLV sports' home games is free to children 12-and-under during the entire season. The ticketed sporting events - free to kids - are the home games for: men's soccer, women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's basketball, softball and baseball. Adult tickets are usually just $7 per game for the above programs with season tickets available at greatly discounted rates.

"UNLV Athletics is a great and affordable way for families to spend quality time together," said UNLV Athletics Director Jim Livengood. "There is nothing that our student-athletes appreciate more than people coming out to watch them compete. It's certainly a win-win for the community and our student-athletes."

Men's and women's soccer as well as women's volleyball are currently playing their respective seasons. Visit UNLVRebels.com for updated schedules and locations of games.

While tickets are required for children attending both UNLV football and men's basketball games, members of the Rebel Kids Club are eligible to attend most football and men's basketball games for free.
