Intramural Sports Underway at Ferris

by Published: Sep 23, 2009

Intramural sports at Ferris are under­way as soft­ball, 6v6 vol­ley­ball, and soc­cer began yesterday.

Sign-ups for those sports are now closed, but other sports are still avail­able. Entries to play flag foot­ball, ice hockey, and 4v4 vol­ley­ball are due on Oct. 15. Nov. 4 is the last day to enter in order to join 3v3 basketball.

All Ferris stu­dents, fac­ulty, and staff are eli­gi­ble to par­tic­i­pate in intra­mural sports. A Ferris iden­ti­fi­ca­tion card must be pre­sented to the University Recreation staff to participate.

There are sev­eral divi­sions in which an indi­vid­ual can join. There is the men’s, women’s, and co-rec divi­sion. There is the Greek divi­sion in which mem­bers have to belong to a fra­ter­nity or a soror­ity. Lastly, there is the res­i­dence hall divi­sion. If a par­tic­u­lar res­i­dence hall does not have a team, a per­son can be eli­gi­ble to play for another hall.

Teams will also be able to choose between three dif­fer­ent lev­els of com­pe­ti­tion: begin­ner, inter­me­di­ate, and advanced.

Each sport has a pre-set entry fee per team which is avail­able online at the University Recreation web­site or by ask­ing the UREC staff.

Interested indi­vid­u­als do not have to have prior expe­ri­ence to join an intra­mural sports team. They are a great way to meet new peo­ple and make friends. Jeremy ‘Pops’ Hatherly, senior in ele­men­tary edu­ca­tion, is a cap­tain on an intra­mural soft­ball team and has been for the past three years.

“Intramural sports are fun, inter­ac­tive, and I’ve made friend­ships that will last a life­time,” said Hatherly.
