In­tra­mu­rals Kick it into High Gear

MISHAWAKA, IN—Stu­dent ath­letes are not the only ones who can play sports on cam­pus. In­tra­mural sports pro­vide all stu­dents with the op­por­tu­nity to play in a mod­er­ately com­pet­i­tive en­vi­ron­ment. This year, there are plenty of op­por­tu­ni­ties to par­tic­i­pate in and to spec­tate.  

Even though sand vol­ley­ball has ended and a cham­pion has been crowned, 3-on-3 bas­ket­ball is in full swing. There is a to­tal of 18 teams to watch: 14 men’s teams and four wom­en’s teams.  

Ac­cord­ing to Johnny Ben­nett, in­tra­mu­rals di­rec­tor, the com­pe­ti­tion is quite good this year and he is con­fi­dent there will be many good games this sea­son. The 3-on-3 ames will con­tinue un­til the end of the se­mes­ter and takes place on Tues­day and Thurs­day evenings from 9 - 11 p.m. 

Next se­mes­ter, stu­dents will have many more op­por­tu­ni­ties, not just for sea­son-long tour­na­ments, but also some sin­gle-day events.  

Ben­nett said, “I’ve been talk­ing a lot with our team, were re­ally just try­ing to get a feel for what stu­dents want.”  

Un­til those sin­gle-day events are an­nounced, stu­dents can look for­ward to 5-on-5 bas­ket­ball and fut­sal start­ing af­ter the se­mes­ter break.
