Campus Intramurals

            When you arrive on a college campus everything is new and exciting. Meeting new teacher, classmate, friends and seeing the same faces in your high school life, Once you start your class schedule, you will begin to hear of other opportunities on campus to get involved with like in Intramurals. Intramurals are fun, recreational, social and competitive on-campus sports activities.Intramurals will include many kinds of gaming and sporting events from table games to rough and tumble type of sports. Watch for advertising such as posters, sign-up tables, campus announcements, and campus that will announce the beginning of sign-ups for an upcoming intramural event. Intramurals are a great way to expand your base of friends on campus, to divert your attention for a while from the pressures of the classroom, and, of course, to help keep the “freshman 15” off the body.The results show that many times students were drawn to campuses because of what the school offered in campus recreation and fitness. The study also demonstrated that students involved in campus recreation, combined with a balanced schedule, showed greater alertness in classes and enjoyment of their college experience.Campus recreation and intramurals will usually involve all your basic sports like basketball, volleyball , etc. Each school will develop its own style of gaming and awards. Many schools have championship t-shirts that show you have won a league championship or a tournament championship, and these shirts are highly sought after on campus. Campus recreation also includes club/extramural teams,teams who play other Colleges but are not a varsity program, fitness centers, outdoor adventure clubs. These are in addition to the sporting program of intramurals. There are opportunities for students at some Colleges  to work in the intramural program, giving those students leadership experience and an opportunity to develop their people skills. Fresh ideas are always a helpful to program as well.Campus recreations allow students to continue their education outside of the classroom as well. However, the greatest part of intramurals will be the memories and friendships you make throughout your college career. These memories will live on with you and your friends for a lifetime. And for me intramural, intramural is sports are organized programs that allow students, faculty and staff to participate in team, dual and individual sport activities. Intramurals promotes wellness, the opportunity for physical activity, fellowship and sportsmanship.
