Up­date on Bethel In­tra­mu­rals 

MISHAWAKA- Bethel Uni­ver­sity hosts cam­pus in­tra­mu­rals for stu­dents to par­tic­i­pate in dur­ing the school year. These sports are fun events for stu­dents and pro­vide a way for the stu­dents to play sports with­out be­ing on a col­lege-level com­pet­i­tive team. 

This spring se­mes­ter the sports fut­sal and pick­le­ball were cho­sen as Bethel’s in­tra­mural sports. Both of these sports are ones they have done in the past but it has been a few years since fut­sal. Ac­cord­ing to Nick Geever, the Res­i­dent Di­rec­tor of Oak­wood who over­sees in­tra­mu­rals, there has been good par­tic­i­pa­tion in the sports this se­mes­ter. Geever men­tioned that specif­i­cally with fut­sal they had a lot of par­tic­i­pa­tion from stu­dents who have not par­tic­i­pated in the past. 

Pick­le­ball started af­ter spring break and it will con­tinue till the end of April. The in­ter­mural team is plan­ning to part­ner with cam­pus ac­tiv­i­ties to hold a one-day vol­ley­ball event to raise money to sup­port Ukraine. This event is sched­uled to take place on April 10th. 

Geever said that this year has been good for in­tra­mu­rals. They have had some is­sues with sched­ul­ing and hope to fix some of those prob­lems next year by work­ing more with other de­part­ments on cam­pus.
