Students wanting to participate in intramurals have another option available this summer. In addition to softball, three-on-three basketball, golf and singles and doubles tennis, students can now sign up for sand volleyball. “(Initially) sand volleyball was canceled due to renovations being done,” said Jackie Moffett, intramural sports director. “We are now able to play volleyball, because the construction is not taking up that particular site.”
Sand volleyball games will begin on July 9, with July 3 the last day to sign up. Current students and those who attended last semester or are registered for classes in the fall are eligible to participate in intramural sports, which are free.
As far as team size is concerned, Moffett said, “there can be anywhere from two to six people on a team.”
Eric Aguilar, a junior in psychology, said he is thrilled that RecSports offers students more than just basketball and football.
“It’s a good idea to get involved in sports outside of basketball and football, and what better way than with volleyball,” he said.
Aguilar said intramural sports are not only a fun way to hang out with friends, but are a way to build leadership and other life skills.
“I think it’s important for students to come together outside of class to work as a team,” Aguilar said.
Anyone who is interested in forming a team should contact Jackie Moffett at 974-2300, or you can sign up directly in Room 202 of the Aquatic Center.
