In­tra­mu­rals Start Up

MISHAWAKA, IN—In­tra­mu­rals are en­joyed by a wide va­ri­ety of stu­dents on cam­pus. For the most part in­tra­mu­rals have been sports such as sand vol­ley­ball, bas­ket­ball, soft­ball tour­na­ments, and fut­sal. But there has been some ex­plo­ration into some non-sport in­tra­mu­rals like e-games and things of that na­ture as well. 

Sand vol­ley­ball started up this past week and will be fol­lowed by many other sports. This will tran­si­tion into bas­ket­ball, then to fut­sal, all with open gym ac­tiv­i­ties scat­tered through­out. In­tra­mu­rals are some­what an open con­cept, mean­ing what­ever sports or non-sports peo­ple are in­ter­ested in com­pet­ing in will de­ter­mine what is ac­tu­ally done as long as there are enough peo­ple in­ter­ested. There is a sched­ule that the in­tra­mu­rals staff sticks too, but they are also open minded to new ideas and in­ter­ests. The staff is made up of five in­di­vid­u­als: Johnny Ben­nett—In­tra­mural Di­rec­tor, Lehy Fe­lix—In­tra­mural in­tern, Ja­mari Robin­son—stu­dent worker, Re­bekah School­man—stu­dent worker, and MacKen­zie Stra­han—stu­dent worker. 

Johnny Ben­nett, In­tra­mural Di­rec­tor said, “In­tra­mu­rals has the abil­ity to be what stu­dents want it to be. We’ve been stuck with what peo­ple come out to do, but if there are other things peo­ple are in­ter­ested in, we are will­ing to ex­plore those too.” 

In­tra­mu­rals are a great thing Bethel of­fers and a way for stu­dents to gather and en­joy them­selves while com­pet­ing. If one is in­ter­ested in get­ting in­volved in in­tra­mu­rals, they can fol­low Bethel In­tra­mu­rals on so­cial me­dia or look out for fly­ers around cam­pus.
