In­tra­mu­rals Be­gins Again

MISHAWAKA—We are well into the spring se­mes­ter and every­thing has started up again, in­clud­ing in­tra­mu­rals.  

The first event in­tra­mu­rals played a part in was last Fri­day when they part­nered with Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties to put on glow-in-the-dark dodge­ball for stu­dents; the event had a great turn-out, though they had dif­fi­cul­ties with the glow-in-the-dark side of things. In­tra­mu­rals will pos­si­bly be work­ing with Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties for fu­ture events as well. 

Sun­day night from 9-11 p.m., in­tra­mu­rals hosted open-gym vol­ley­ball; this will be a weekly oc­cur­rence for Sun­day nights. 

Ad­di­tion­ally, 5v5 bas­ket­ball be­gan this past Mon­day night. Mon­day and Thurs­day nights from 9-11 p.m., 5v5 bas­ket­ball will be tak­ing place in the gym. This will con­tinue un­til the week af­ter spring break, to­tal­ing about six weeks of 5v5 bas­ket­ball. There are 10 teams signed up for bas­ket­ball and about 70 peo­ple par­tic­i­pat­ing. 5v5 bas­ket­ball in­volves more tech­ni­cal­i­ties than last se­mes­ter’s 3v3 bas­ket­ball; be­cause of this, in­tra­mu­rals asked some of the play­ers on Bethel’s var­sity bas­ket­ball team to ref­eree the 5v5 games. This works well since the var­sity bas­ket­ball play­ers are not per­mit­ted to play on a 5v5 team be­cause in­tra­mu­rals gives other stu­dents a chance to shine on the bas­ket­ball court and cre­ates a level play­ing field.  

There are other events in­tra­mu­rals plans for later this se­mes­ter af­ter 5v5 bas­ket­ball ends; fut­sal will start up the sec­ond half of the se­mes­ter, and a few one-day events are in the works. The only one-day event of­fi­cially sched­uled so far is a soft­ball tour­na­ment near the end of the se­mes­ter; in­tra­mu­rals plans to put on mul­ti­ple one-day events as the se­mes­ter pro­gresses, de­pend­ing on the weather and in what the stu­dents show in­ter­est.
