I prefer to think of intramurals as low-key athletic teams. They’re for all students, and they’re just-for-fun ways to stay in shape, meet new people and have a good time!
If you really like sports, but are unsure of the time commitment required of intercollegiate teams, if you want to stay fit during the off-season, or if you just want to run around in the dark and throw light-up Frisbees at your fellow students, intramurals are for you!
Many campuses have intramural teams, where students get together and play for fun. There’s no set practice schedule, and our intramural teams play a lot of sports that are “off the beaten path,” so to speak.
For instance, here’s our schedule for 2011-2012:
Ultimate Frisbee
Dodgeball
Wiffleball
Kickball
Basketball Tournament
Baseball Tournament
Volleyball
In the past we’ve even done floor hockey tournaments. I think that’s part of the fun of intramurals; it’s up to the students what gets played. If you wanted to come here and start an intramural dance team, for instance, or an intramural bowling team, you could! Personally, I love the idea that Frisbee has become a collegiate pastime. Ask any college student anywhere, they’ve probably played Ultimate Frisbee at least once.
If you have any questions about participation or eligibility, just leave a comment.
Cheers!
