Intramural program offers recreation, fun

Student Life's Intramural Sports and Recreation program is hosting multiple events throughout the month of February and into March. Events include bowling at Westgate Lanes, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, etc.

This semester, a variety of new sports were added to the Intramural Sports and Recreation  roster including woman's basketball,  floor ball, and dodge ball.

Original intramural sports that have been apart of the program since it first opened include men's basketball, women's volleyball, and soccer.

The first men's basketball game of the season kicked off on Feb. 10, at Virginia Brown Recreation Center.  

According to the Coordinator for Intramural Sports and Recreation, Tracy Partin, the series of sports was brought about in order to provide a program so that students could meet new people and work with each other towards a common goal, and achieving this in safe and friendly environment.

"The only thing we're taking a waiting list on is right now is men's basketball. The deadline is March 11, but what we will probably do is put up a possible waiting list just in case we need to add more students," said Partin. "They can contact me here at the Student Life office or go to the Student Life website if the want to get directly invovled."

Anyone who is interested and wants to get involved is welcomed, regardless of whether or not you already have a team put together.

According to Partin, one goal this year is to try and visit each campus, that way students can learn more about the Intramural Sports program and possibly become interested in getting involved. As of today, students only hear about the program through word of mouth on their campus, which doesn't necessarily give all of the essential information. Currently, there are over two hundred students involved in ACC campus sports, a number that Partin would like to see grow.

"Our goal mainly is to get more of a word out to students so that we can be able to provide them a good, quality program," said Partin.
