Fall intramurals ready to kick off new seasons

Intramural sports serve as a great way to get exercise and provide an opportunity to get involved in athletics at Georgia College. Bert Rosenberger is the head of the intramural sports program and has high hopes for the 2011-12 year.

“There should be about 100 teams total this year,” Rosenberger said.

Kickball and flag football are the first to start up, the deadline for entering a team is Aug. 23. If you missed this deadline you can still join the program at anytime as a free agent, meaning that any team can pick you up to play for them. Scrimmages for these two sports start on Wednesday, Aug. 24. Both kickball and flag football offer women’s, men’s and co-ed teams. A and B teams are offered depending on how competitive you plan on being.

Registration for the fall Soccer and Ultimate leagues starts on Sept. 1 and is open until Oct. 6, but you can still join the teams as a free agent throughout the semester. The season usually runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 11.

“I am really excited for intramural sports to start up because it will be a great way to stay in shape and compete without all the commitment of college sports,” freshman psychology major Kaitlyn Kiewit said.

New to the intramural program this year is what is called, “Ladder Leagues.” Rosenberger says he is most excited about this program because of the low cost and self sufficiency. These leagues include tennis, racquetball, ping pong, and billiards. Players can set up their games on their own time and then just have to report the score after the game. The deadlines to register for all of the sports involved in the “Ladder Leagues” are Aug. 31.

With the addition of the Wellness Center, volleyball, indoor soccer and inner tube water polo will be offered as intramural sports.
