Intramural Facebook page gives participants updates

Communication is still the key to a healthy relationship. The old cliché shouldn’t be ignored.

For Intramural participants, that means Facebook is now the primary place for everything they need.

“We’re trying to create a place that’s easy to get info and involve our players more,” said Bert Rosenberger, director of Intramurals.

The “Georgia College RecSports” page features weather and game updates, player profiles, games of the night and gives an immediate place for player and fan feedback.

For instance, last week the page featured two polls asking people what color the championship T-shirts should be for four-on-four flag football and softball teams.

And some of the top players get their turn in the spotlight with a short description of how they’ve done in their intramural careers.

“It’s all about exposure,” Rosenberger said. “We want our players to have some say in what goes on, because they’re the ones who support us.”

Teams in doubt of the playability of fields due to weather can see the shape of the fields when photos are uploaded and receive deadlines for a decision on whether they will play or not through the page.

Rosenberger says his goal is to have 1,000 page likes by the start of next season, because then word will spread quickly whenever he has information to pass on to all participants.

To find the page, search for “Georgia College RecSports” on Facebook and click “like.”
