From flag football to dominos, there is a wide variety to choose from when it comes to intramural sports at NSU. With several sports and events occurring throughout the school year, intramural sports provide an athletic outlet for students, faculty and staff who need a break, or just want to have fun.
The best method for signing up for intramurals is to grab a couple of friends who want to play and register your team online at www.rec.nova.edu/intramurals.
However, if you are unable to find anyone who wants to join your team, no need to worry, simply go to the same website and provide your name and the sport you’d like to participate in. By doing this, you’ll be added to a free agent list and teams looking for players can choose to add you.
Assistant Director of intramural sports & special events, Michael Prociuk, believes intramural sports provide students with relief from stress, as well as gives them a chance to play in a safe and competitive environment.
“It’s fun for the students; it gives them an opportunity to continue playing sports in an organized atmosphere,” said Prociuk.
In his five years working for the intramurals program, Prociuk said that flag football, basketball, and soccer tend to be the most popular.
“Usually, we get about 40–45 teams for flag football and basketball, and then usually 35–40 for soccer,” said Prociuk.
Meloney Fosburgh, graduate assistant for intramural sports, said intramural sports are great ways to become part of the NSU community.
“[Intramural sports teaches you] life skills, how to work as a team, and communication. For those people who might not want to join clubs or organizations, it’s a good way to be involved and have school spirit,” she said.
NSU alumnus, Nicolas Dolan, enjoyed his time playing intramural basketball in 2008 and 2009.
“Intramural sports is one of the best ways to meet new people with similar interests, and it’s a fun and engaging way to break from studying,” said Dolan.
Some sports and events are free, but team sports cost $50 to register. Visit the website for the full list of registration deadlines.
