Whether you were the last kid picked for the kickball team or Dwayne Wade on your high school basketball court, NSU intramural sports has a spot for you.
The main goal of intramurals, operated under the Office of Campus Recreation, is to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle through trying a sport in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
Intramurals offers seven sports: basketball, volleyball, soccer, flag football, softball, golf, and racquetball. Other activities including badminton, billiards and dodge ball tournaments are also provided throughout the academic year.
Michael Prociuk, assistant director of Intramural Sports and Special Events said, “Intramural sports provide an opportunity for students to compete in an organized sports program here on campus. Participating in intramurals allows students to take a break from their studies and meet new students.”
Intramurals not only offers the physical benefits of athletic activity but also an avenue for social interaction.
“Intramural sports is a great way to get connected to NSU,” said Prociuk. “It brings different colleges (from around campus), residence halls, clubs and organizations together.”
“It is an unbelievable opportunity for clubs and organizations to promote their group and gain more membership in their organizations. It provides a great opportunity for leaders to develop their strengths as team captains,” said Prociuk.
Intramural sports are available to students, faculty and staff. Participants do not need a team. They may register as an individual and be assigned to a team.
A wide variety of sports are offered throughout the semester. The fall schedule is currently posted on the Office of Campus Recreation’s Web site.
Even those who do not wish to compete can still get involved with intramurals as referees. Prociuk said no experience is necessary. All that is needed is an interest in sports.
“And don’t worry, if you become a student official, you can also play intramurals as well,” said Prociuk.
