A letter to new Bobcat students from the Coordinator of Recreational Sports, Bert Rosenberger

It was great meeting so many of you at the summer orientations. I hope that many of you decide to participate in RecSports here at Georgia College, which consists of both intramurals and club sports. For those of you who may not know the difference between intramurals and club sports,  intramurals are sports played on campus between other on campus teams and club sports are sports that consist of organized on campus teams playing against organized teams from other schools. This year we are offering the following intramural sports: flag football, kickball, Ultimate, soccer, basketball, dodgeball, softball, four-on-four flag football, volleyball, indoor soccer, inner tube water polo, tennis, racquetball, ping pong and pool. For each intramural sport we offer different levels of competition ranging from recreational to competitive. As far as club sports go, the following clubs are active and open to join: swimming, rugby, volleyball, lacrosse, wakeboarding, bass fishing, soccer, ultimate, wrestling, racquetball and tennis. Here are some interesting things that you may not know about Georgia College RecSports: Last year in intramurals, 2,360 students participated on 626 teams and played in 1,954 games. Last year Georgia College students checked in to play in an intramual game 35,243 times. Last year Georgia College Sports Clubs defeated UGA, Georgia Tech and Georgia Southern in at least one sport. The best way to find out how to get involved is to “Like” the Facebook Page “Georgia College RecSports”  and to join Imleagues.com/gcsu with your school email account (required to participate). Some of our events start really early in the semester, so I would advise all students to “Like us” and register ASAP. In addition to getting up to date info on the Facebook page, we also do player profiles and give away free stuff such as T-shirts and free team entries. Our office is currently located on the third floor of the Student Activity Center, but will be moving to the Wellness and Recreation Center as soon as it is open. For more information please contact the Director of Recreational Sports, Bert.Rosenberger@gcsu.edu or the Assistant Director of Recreational Sports, Drew.Bruton@gcsu.edu.
